Sorry I didn't see it in the rules but I was curious, are segmented runs allowed at all?

Second are emulators allowed?

I know that typically neither are allowed but just wanted to double check. Thanks!

I'm not completely opposed to PS1 emulators since they will be slower than using fast disc speed on a PS2 and therefore there's no competitive advantage to doing so.

Segmented speedruns are a very different beast than RTA speedruns and currently there is no category for segmented runs; if there is a ton of interest in a segmented run, I could add one but I have no plans to do so until there are completed, recorded segmented runs. (Even then I wouldn't want to because they are hell to time.) No, they are not acceptable on the standard RTA leaderboards.

Thanks for answering so quickly! Gonna try out some runs soon.
