Emulators accepted?

Hiya all,

Im new to speed running and love to put times up. I was wondering which emulators are accepted for gameboy, ps1, ps2 & n64?

Depends on the game mostly.

Pokemon, for example, only accepts certain versions of Gambatte for emulation. And Ocarina of Time only accepts Project64 1.6 or 1.7 for runs. As for PS1 and PS2 (especially PS2), you probably won't find any communities that accept runs for those on emu due to the fact that emu speeds up the game considerably in loading. Sometimes emu is accepted on those consoles but they are given a Misc. category.

I'd recommend checking the rules of the game(s) to see if they ban/allow emulator and then if you have more questions or the rules don't say, reach out to the game mods for help.

Yep, like Timmiluvs said, ask the mods of the particular game when in doubt. The more popular the game, the more likely there is to be stipulations for running it.
