Yes! Feel free to use an emulator. Kega Fusion preferably, but whatever suits you.

Hey everyone! Sorry for the wait, I've been away from speedrunning as a whole for a while. Seeing as people want it, I'll be adding a Desert Bus section to the page.

Next time please be a bit more clear with your question, none of us here are really sure what you need help with.

I don't know if I'd call Akinator a video game, it's more so just a novelty. Twenty questions is a game the same way that Mad Libs is a game.

It is a point-based category.

When the Platinum model was released in 2002, it was marketed as "limited edition." After around a year or two later, Nintendo decided to sell them regularly alongside Black and Indigo. The limited edition bunch (as well as older GameCubes) have the model number DOL-001, as well as the digital AV out port you're looking for. It sounds like you have a second model Platinum GameCube.

I've actually been running on the Origin version of 2000 DOS. This version has DOSBOX set to 20K cycles as well, I'm not sure if there are any differences though. As for the legalities, I say we allow scenario loading. It puts us all on a level playing field rather than having to endlessly cycle through random maps. And I agree with you two, editing map ratios does feel too easy.

The current background is really low quality and ugly, here are two that I think would fit the theme much better.

I feel like there should be individual categories for Domination, Assault, etc.
