AntarcticaI'm not really sure what kind of discussion you're looking to have with this though. This kind of question is something that applies to absolutely any hobby.
Should I run Cross Country in High School? Should I learn to play guitar? Should I take a dancing class?
For any hobby, this is a loaded question because it's entirely dependent on the person who is doing the hobby. I look back on the hobbies I had in high school (running cross country, going to concerts) and I don't regret doing them because at the time, they made me incredibly happy and I enjoyed them to no end. So it was entirely worth it for me to take up those hobbies - because I look back at them not with regret, but with the knowledge that they made me incredibly happy at the time so it was worth the investment in them.
With hobbies, there is always something different you can do. I could have taken all the time I invested into Cross Country in high school and done something completely different. However, looking back with such negativity and regret on every hobby with the question of "what if I spent my time differently?" is an incredibly negative point of view on life and will most likely lead to a current state of mind that is unpleasant and pessimistic all the time. Don't look back at past hobbies with regret for some unnamed "other thing" you could have done instead, look back and realize that that hobby made you happy at the time.
Is speedrunning worth it? For me, yes. Why? Because 20 years from now I can look back at everything I've done with speedrunning and feel accomplished for my own personal goals being achieved and I can look back and realize that it made me happy - it let me play games I love in a fun and always exciting way. With all the time I spend speedrunning I could easily do some other hobby, but right now, I'm having fun and enjoying myself. And knowing that by doing this I'm enjoying it, that makes it all worth it for me. I don't care if anyone else looks back at my career and likes it, I'm doing it for myself. I'm not trying to escape anything or pretend like I'm not getting getting older, I'm doing it because it's fun and enjoyable.
Like any hobby, if you're having fun, do it. That's all the reason you need to determine "if it's worth it".
Also hardly anybody checks the forums hourly, so posting a question then reposting again an hour later isn't going to speed up a response.
If anything it'll irritate people.
I recommend asking this in the forums for the game, you'll get a much better response there than the main site forums.
What ROMaster said.
But if you want a general answer, the reason Dolphin most likely isn't allowed is that it's emulation is probably faster than the Gamecube itself.
Also, if you're US located, it doesn't cost nearly that much to run this game. There are tons of used copies out there for under $20 and a gvusb2 capture card (arguably the best standard def cap card) is only $30 to $40. You don't have to spend nearly as much as you think to run this game.
You're gonna wanna ask that in the Pokemon forums (or even better their discord server - link to that in their forums).
You'll find much better help there than here in the general site forums.
Hi, long time Zelda 1 runner here.
Yes, there is a minor glitch that happens by entering and immediately exiting Level 1 that will unlock the top door for you. We do it to save using a key.
If you're interested in running Zelda 1 and Zelda 2, there are plenty of resources out there and both have a discord server as well (you'll probably have better luck joining those if you have questions as the main forums here can get clunky for answering questions).
Thanks for telling us.

^ what trollbear said.
The thread is checked once a week on average.
They're saying they cant do it. I thought the same thing and suggested it in discord to them.
Edit: for clarification, they get this error message "Only full mods can delete games over 2 weeks old. Please contact one if you want to have this game deleted."
Did you really compare using an amiibo in a run to using a gameshark in a run?
Fucking lol.
This thread is a disaster. Ive never seen so many people have opinions on how a LB should be structured while simultaneously not running the game.
Filters exist on LBs for a reason.
kirkq will more than likely realize what happened and will just ignore the first request with the typo in it when he gets to it while approving the requests.
Sounds like you have split delay set. There's a setting/option somewhere in Livesplit that allows you to set a delay, it's to allow people to sync up livesplit with a delayed video feed from a capture card that has capture delay.
See if you have a value set for that as that could be causing this.
Not seeing that issue on my end with both older and newer runs with Twitch VODs, so I don't think it's a site issue. I'd recommend the standard things, try a different browser to see if it works there, clear your cache on your browser, etc. and see if it resolves it.
