I don't see anything in the rules thats why i ask and i'd assume regardless that is the case for the series

I would be curious to hear this too! Mainly because I am curious how emulating the guncon controls would work. I am assuming the aiming would be more accurate with a mouse, but is that even possible?

I suppose emulated runs could be accepted if you were using a guncon or lightgun on a monitor and could prove the operations were essentially the same.

However, we could create another category to provide space for emulated runs performed with a mouse. I'm assuming it'd faster for sure.

Okay, I completed a run not a great time by any means but a placeholder for now. Also the leader board settings would have to be changed I think to allow for emulated runs, because as of now I had to submit it just as the Arcade platform because it says emulation is banned when submitting a run. Also with the option selected in the leader board settings you can select the correct record when using something like Livesplits and it'll put that emu identifier next to the run in the leader boards

I'll also do some testing on PS/PS2 emulation and see what happens I haven't tried those yet just the Arcade

I also found a GunCon for pretty cheap so I could do some testing on emulation once it arrives

If you need anymore info for like emulator or machine info I can give more details

Awesome RyanWalker1, congrats on the run! I don't have time today but should have time tomorrow to set up the page.

Exciting to have new people and avenues to speedrun added to the community. Welcome!

Finally set it all up under Story Mode - Arcade. LMK what you think!

May I request that a category for arcade emulation with controllers to be added @matthewreality @Diamondaire @Irisjoker? I used a Hori Fighting Commander gamepad/controller for my submitted run. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Yep, you're on the board @BOSSCAT! Running on controller is tough so nice work.
