For some reasons my Super Mario 64 16 Stars run on Emulator got approved in N64 category: https://www.speedrun.com/sm64/run/yj4kd2gy

You submitted it as the platform being N64. Edit the run and change the platform to emulator and resubmit.

Fixed. The biggest reason was because you didn't submit it correctly. The other reason is 'cause it's easy to miss when checking multiple runs and having to check for a lot of diff things.

In the future, if you're using emu, you need to specify that in the drop down box that has N64, VC and EMU. Ticking the box that says 'Emulator' isn't enough as this only makes a subscript emu tag which is just to allow filters (not very useful for SM64 but for most games on the site it works)

Hey, I encountered the same problem. However the issue is that in the drop down box it doesn't show the option of emulator for me at all. It just shows N64, VC for Wii and VC for Wii U. Currently my emulator run got verified on the N64 leaderboard instead of on the Emulator leaderboard aswell.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just editted the run it shows a dropdown platform box on there twice I guess I missed the other drop down box at first, submitted it to the EMU leaderboard now instead

Yes the platform dropdown you mentioned is the site's main generic platform choice which, as I mentioned, works for most games. Since we separate our runs by platform, we have a separate platform drop down which decides which specific leaderboard you'd go into. The main site platform drop down is used in the column of the run.

It's not a very smooth way of doing it but it's the best we can get at the moment.
