Backwards Compatibility?
Alaska, USA

(This is mostly a question for tfresh2000 as this is also related to Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, just saying) As it saids in the title, is backwards compatibility allowed, well it probably is, but does it count as emulator or console? (The same thing goes for Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, as it's both on Xbox and X360, so if I play the Xbox version on the X360 Backwards Compatible, does it count as just the Xbox Version?) I just wanna know before coming back to speedrunning the levels soon.

@SpeedGlitchedTrevor Tfresh is away for military training and will not be back until October of this year. So do not ask him anything as you will not get an answer. BluePinata is our only moderator who can take questions right now. I would also suggest joining the Discord server now as you can get your question answered more efficiently there. https://discord.gg/b4J8Saq

Backward compatibility is allowed. And it doesn't count as emulation. This game for platforms on SRC doesn't count when you play a GC Disc on a Wii, so if you played the Gamecube version at all, you would just list GC when submitting your speedrun.

For LSW2 I use the 360 disc on my Xbox One. I submit them under Xbox One.

I've seen many other OG Xbox games that can be played on 360/Xbone that is allowed on the leaderboards. Sometimes and most times they'd label it as being played on 360 via backwards compatibility, while a few like LSWII just has you pick OG Xbox since that game already is on the 360 separate from the OG Xbox port, just make sure you say it's being played via backwards compatibility on what console.
