Hello. I love this game and just found out that people speed run it! I would like to get into running this game and was wondering if emulator is acceptable? I noticed this game has near instant load times on console and so load times shouldn't really be different on top of Dolphin 5.0 now simulating what minimal load times there are in the game. Thanks!

Hey! How's it going? It's cool to see more people wanting to get into this game. Unfortunately as of now emulators are not expected for runs. Mostly the reason for this is their is also lag that occurs in power shots and other situations that would be obviously not existent in emu. This game is becoming so optimized now that small time saves would be unfair to runner on disc. This is a fun game though and I would love to you run it in the future! I may allow for emu runs when first starting off in the future. However, when submitting better times, a disc would be required.
