I appreciate it, I didn't mean for my response to sound entitled. I know this game isn't run very much but you still took the time to respond and help out so thank you so much :)

I just would like to know because I feel very disinterested in running any further because idk if this setting is valid or not

I don't own a Japanese copy of spectrobes irl, but when I compared my intro cutscene to that of the top two runs on the leaderboard I was able to load in fractions of a second earlier into the first textbox (38.72 vs 39.01). I notice I lag significantly less in general especially on the map where you deliver the diamond and the final level approaching the boss. It's entirely possible it is making the text boxes faster too, but it is difficult to tell. If you'd like I could submit my 43:24 I achieved with this emulation setting on.

I have recently started speedrunning Spectrobes in my freetime and just wanted to know if the setting for cpu emulation mode was legal? It most definitely sped up my run and I wasn't quite sure if it was allowed or not. This is my first time speedrunning and I just didn't want to submit a run that was potentially not with in the confines of the rules.
