A question about consoles

My question is simple, I would like to know how speed runs with a console allowed eg xbox one (yes i never tried to speed on a console. So on xbox one for example where there is an emulator in the browser is it allowed to use it? or just xbox games?

Are you asking if you can use a console to speedrun games that weren’t released on it? If the console supports a “virtual console” - like playing an N64 game on the Wii - then that is allowed and it usually classified as such (WiiVC in my example). How a community or LB handles runs on different consoles is up to them.

If you’re talking about modifying a console to make it run a homebrew emulator of some kind, that’s a bit trickier and depends entirely on the game/community. When it comes to anything third party like that (or adding functionality that’s isn’t built into the console normally), you need to check the rules or ask the mods of the game(s) you want to run to see if they have any restrictions on it.

yes yes for example xbox one has an emulator supported in the browser. so this would have to be asked of the mods when sending the run right? I thank you for your answer; 0
