Will emulator runs be approved?

The current WR is console based.

Lord_Steven_Crowley and I have spoken about this on Twitter - we have no idea :)

Its not number of continues, number of lives or the timer.

The manual only says "DIFFICULTY: Select an Easy, Normal, or Hard game." but doesn't tell the difference...

I've starting running both Normal + Hard difficulties single player - would it be possible to add these to the list of leaderboards so I may submit my runs :)

Currently there is only Hard (Co-op).
