so i did a mod on my Wii u that lets me play the GameCube game like it was on game cube would that be allowed? And if needed ill send a video to show what im talking about
I can't give a proper answer for I'm not a moderator, but I assume you're using Nintendont via the vWii, which should be an accurate way of playing both Wii and GameCube games since it relies on code and hardware created by Nintendo themselves.
this is the video showing what im talking about sorry for the lazy editing was trying to rush it
This would fall under emulators. However, that is perfectly fine and inexpensive way to try out the speedrun and get a feel for it. In fact, emulator is allowed for all categories up to a certain time threshold that is category specific, so you are also able to submit to leaderboards as well. For example, any% has a cap at 1:05:00, so any time on emulator above that can be submitted and accepted onto the leaderboards. Let me know if you have any other questions, and feel free to join the discord.
all though I do have another question if i were to do all dungeons whats the cap time for emulator
If you go to any category's leaderboard and click on "View Rules" it will video proof and emulator thresholds. For AD, it would be 2:50:00.
Just a tip that I had to learn the hard way.
Several years ago on my Wii, using Nintendont, I started learning the route for this game. And for the life I me I could NOT get the Greatfish superswim. Turns out loading from a hard drive is faster. Ever so slightly, but the island always loaded before I could pull out TWW to cancel camera lock. Tested my theory out with a burnt copy and got it first try.
Just thought I'd hopefully save someone else some headache! 🤣
