You should remove the emulator from the ps2 category because it has no loadings and can make the box glitch that on ps2 is almost impossible

That`s ridiculous you cant delete a category just because you win a few seconds more because of no loadings or glitch box all people who trained for the speedrun will lost her record just because emulator is unfair but just a few people still having ps2 so the fair is 3 platforms for the records ps3 ps2 and emulator that would be fair not removing a platform who is more played than ps2

I'd agree to ban, but have u thought about how many people would be prejudiced? Cut the categories wouldn't be helpful cuz there's almost anyone playing on ps2, counting that I don't agree with banning...

We could make a new category that splits emulator into it's own category?

@Ragnell That's fair. Anyone else has any thoughts on this?

I think banning the emulator is not the solution, the several players would be harmed and run would cease to exist. What I suggest is that these emulator run are separate from the ps2 run

Eu acho que proibir o emulador não é a solução, pois vários jogadores serão prejudicados e corridas deixariam de existir. O que eu sugiro é que as corridas de emulador sejam separadas das executadas pelo ps2.

I do not think banning is the solution though the emulator might take a small advantage in some parts.

The biggest problem is that the Ps2 category 90% is formed by emulators.

The Emulator has fewer loadings anymore anyway they are still there.

I think the biggest concern should be with races where the sound of the game can not be heard and the image is precarious it makes a fraud much easier.

We created, and transitioned all emulator runs into it's own subcategory called EMU. Please make sure EMU is selected in the submission page if your runs are emulated.

AetherSX2, a PS2 emulator for Android devices, is now allowed in speedruns. Runs made with it will be included in the PS2 Emulator categories. Similar to other emulators, to have your run accepted you will need to show the emulator's settings after the run is finished.
