Have you decided if emulators are going to be allowed? It would just make it more convenient rather than having to buy a new ps2, if not that is all g

Emulators are absolutely allowed. But needless to say (and I hopefully don't need to worry about this at all), if anyone (not just you) should be found using things like save states or tools of that nature (basically, anything outside of just playing the game), that run will not be accepted, and the user will be banned from the leaderboards. But absolutely, whether it be physical hardware or emulators, the thing I want to get across as being most important is that I started running this game to get more people into it, so at least at the beginning (and I have no plan to change this later on unless forced in a position where I have to), emulators and physical hardware alike will be accepted. ^_^
