This "subcategory" can be added if a lot of users request it and if they have runs.
Or maybe in the Category Extension board.
You can still run the game on emulator if you want to, it just won't be allowed on the leaderboards, not everything has to have a leaderboard on Speedrun.com
Or create a Google Sheet as a leaderboard for emu runs if you REALLY want a leaderboard.
Also, who are “most people” because I haven’t heard anyone talk about this topic for at least a month.
If "most people" counts as 'trying to make a valid point which isn't... valid' then this thread is pointless. And if you have a physical copy... run on that? This seems like a clear and cut case to me
The whole “most people” thing goes back to exciton talking about fast any%. (Despite me being a supporter of that) I fully understand why it wasn’t added. It is the same exact case here but with a different topic.
you can still speedrun all you want it just wont be added to the leaderboards. If you want it to be added then you have to have a physical copy. The dont cost that much.
