Is Retroarch legal?
2 years ago
Worcestershire, England

Hi guys, i've noticed Retroarch is banned for SMB1 and SMB2 (i think) but I don't see it specifically being banned in the rules for SMB3. Am I to assume it's ok to use for runs/submissions?

Basque Country

if is an emulator, probably allowed because rules only have a list of "banned emulators" and it is not on the list, but idk

Washington, USA

I've submitted a run with RetroArch and it was accepted.

Overijssel, Netherlands

Right now RetroArch is allowed. However, if we do find out that it gives an advantage over original hardware like it does for SMB1/2, it will get banned. We haven't seen (many) high level runs on the RetroArch, so the topic never came up before.
