I was thinking TAS has advantage over normal speedruns because of left+right but what if darbian, kosmic, somewes etc... play on emulator with a keyboard, on keyboard you CAN do left+right. I'd just like to know the opinion of others.

It's banned no matter what you're using.

Aside from the fact that most console players really don't like moving back to emulator, we wouldn't allow such a category on the leaderboards because it can't be done on original console. Okay, well you can if you break your d-pad on your controller, but I don't think many people would be up for that. Also, realistically this makes it an emulator only category, which we really don't do either. If people want to do L+R runs on their own, nothing stops you from doing that, but I highly doubt we'd ever make such a category on the leaderboards to accommodate that.

hmmm okay, i agree that splitting emulator and console isn't a good thing
