I agree on N64 / EMU / VC split because of Kaze's new Sapphire Version that has changed star heights, changed coin amounts and also the frameskipping in some parts of the game. VC has slow resets due to the classic controller text but slightly faster loading times which would save a lot of time druing a 30 star run.

nope they are actually faster on VC: https://www.speedrun.com/sm64sapphire/run/zp4jvvrz
