I'm just learning the game at the moment, don't have a run to submit yet but would I be able to submit a run played on MiSTer FPGA using the Nuked-MD MegaDrive core?

MiSTer is pretty widely accepted in NES, SNES, and Gameboy speedruns, I haven't seen it much for Genesis games (here's one though https://www.speedrun.com/shinobi3). I don't know if there's a reason or if it just hasn't been brought up.

This is the same FPGA technology at work in the Analogue Mega Sg (https://www.analogue.co/mega-sg), which is allowed in Sonic 3 (https://www.speedrun.com/s3k) and Crusader of Centy (https://www.speedrun.com/crusader_of_centy).

In case its relevant, there was a previous Genesis core for MiSTer (https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Genesis_MiSTer) that has been archived in favor of the one linked above, which boasts cycle accuracy.

Thanks for consideration.
