Why the iQue version is missing ? i think this one need to be added.

I will let other mods correct or reply better but it might be after the holidays .

As far as I know, for bonuses it would be fine but for classic it loads faster than a n64 giving a slight unfair advantage. Also the other problem is that it's pretty much impossible to find and it's absurdly expensive.

There's currently only 1 person who has it ghillieguide and maybe he could explain how it works but basically if we added the category, it would be ghillie posting runs with 0 competitor. Therefore there's no real interest to adding it.

We can now load the game on Emulator. http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2018/51/3/1545238165-capture.png

Wait what ?!? Where did you find that ? I'd love to check that version to see if there's any differences. Also we couldn't compare ique with emulator ique but yeah this could be viable. At the same time, we don't need more category with 1 runner.

Ya IQue emulator has been a thing for a while, There is no reason to sumbit on IQue emu because the other roms are easily accessible but it would be essentially the same thing. I think IQue emu should be legal but hidden by default like other emus as long as it's on PJ64 1.6/7. KM the IQue version is just an altered version of NTSC-U with chinese text, some replacement images and new chinese voiceover work.

The IQue for console runs has been banned since 2013 because it runs the game at a more consistent framerate. It doesn't experience console slowdown so it presents a small advantage estimated by me to be about 5-8 seconds over the course of a 1P run. The console is notorious in the community and there are literally walls of text over years in this forum debating the legality of IQue, read the "Leaderboards Update/Change (December 2018 Edition)" thread to see what we are discussing for version inclusion and results from testing I am currently doing.

If you just wanna see IQue speedruns of this game I have lots on youtube, like KM was saying I am the only person who has runs on the console.
