Why No Emulator Runs?
As for many playstation titles, it would make it rather easy to manipulate the game. Playing on an official PS2 copy ensures the run is 100% legit.
It would make sense if you could use emulator. This game seems very dead, and the only way even some may attempt it would probably be by using emulator. The only 1 run submitted is from the old mod, that looks to be "banned indefinitely" with all his other runs now being obsolete. Would seriously recommend getting a new mod then, and revamping the rules.
I'm working on finishing the game casually, then routing Any%. I'll take care of revamping the board then. Give me a few weeks tops. I'll put an emulator category too.
