Weird. Can you run the Steam build?

I'm YoshiGPLS, and I wanted to submit a Mario Kart Wii run that I recorded but I'm on Dolphin, and it's an emulator, plus the only reason I use it is because I want to play the game, and I do NO TASs because I don't know how, so is an emulator allowed if you don't use frame-by-frame game speed?
