Hey gang! Just wondering what the distinction between Emu and Native is for this game? I'd guess DOSBox is counting as Emu?

I've got friends who insist I pick up their childhood favourite games as speedrunning projects so I'm looking into it, haha

Hi Allison,

Emu is for runs from an emulator and Native is when the run is performed directly from disk on pc. I personally used an emulator because I couldn't get the game to run on Windows.. 8? (I think it was at the time) Maybe Win 10/11 has better support for older games nowadays

So yes DOSbox is counted as an emulator, as you're not directly running the game on the "official" hardware. Same for VirtualBox or any other kind of software to run a version of Windows on top of another.

I don't think it makes much of a difference time-wise but regardless it's best to keep them as seperate categories. :)

Good luck with your run!

I know what emulators are ye, I was just wondering for a game like this specifically how it could be emulated! But as you said, you're using a VM to get an older version of Windows Thanks for the info!
