Kirby's Return to Dreamland Emulator Runs Do not show up.

I've been running Kirby's Return to Dreamland for a week and I havr submitted many runs by now, but only recently that I have reached 10th place, for some reason the filter defaults to console only, and I have to manually change it to console and emulator so that my runs show up.

Seems to have been a change by one of the moderators. They can weigh in on it.

How can I get to them.

I wasn't the one who made the change, but it's likely because games ran on dolphin typically don't have accurate loads, so they're hidden by default. For most games that can be ran by dolphin emulator, it isn't typically allowed on leaderboards. Hiding emulator runs by default is typically a compromise in various games to allow emulator runs to be accepted (as opposed to outright banned) but not directly compare them to console runs due to the inaccuracies.

Ok, thanks, I was just concerned because they did show up normally before but now they don't, I understand the reasons why it has been done. It was most likely swordmankirby as he is the one that is verifying all my runs.

Hi, I was the one who changed the settings, for exactly the reasoning in kirbymastah's post. Apologies for doing this after accepting your first runs--for a long time, there were no emulator runs at all (minus one joke submission) so the issue never came up. Thanks for your understanding.

So, my runs will still be accepted, but just not showed in the leaderboards by default, right?

Yep, that's correct.
