SM64 Dolphin-Emulated VC Speedrun
5 years ago

Is it legal to speedrun the VC version of Super Mario 64 on dolphin? It's the same speed as VC Wii as far as I can tell, though I know it's not listed in the rules, but that is for solely EMU SM64 runs. Is it possible for this to count as the VC as the Wii is doing an emulation of its own?

To elaborate on why I have an issue is that whenever I try to use PJ 1.6 the plugins to detect Gamecube controller do not work properly, only the 2.23 version of the controller plugin detects my controller, I am able to do everything except for the camera options, this includes the c camera as well as mario cam. I have tried switching it to different buttons and it still does not work.

Using a PC emulator is an emulator. Not VC.

If you want to check and see if I'm right, ask in the SM64 forum or Discord.

Thanks but that does not really answer my question, is it legal to run? I'd run project 64 1.6 but it does not work properly with my gamecube controller. its a weird glitch that is unexplainable... that is unless someone can tell me why my camera options dont work... only my camera options
