The Emu Category is not holding up for me. The rules require Project64 1.6 as an Emulator to use and only that one. That references a specific version of Project 64, in which that one is almost always corrupting my save when I use it. That is just, unacceptable.
From the SM64 Bot in the Discord: Project 64 1.6 is the only allowed version for leaderboards because its loading times are consistent across a variety of computers, whereas load times with later versions of the emulator vary a lot by computer. Enforcing 1.6 allows the emulator leaderboard to better reflect the skill of its players.
Corrupting your save? Why do you need to load an old save to do the actual speedruns themselves?
If you're looking to streamline your practice sessions or to help you learn new categories and levels that you're unfamilliar with I would reccomend utilising the Masamune practice rom for that purpose instead.
We would like to announce that VC and EMU subcategories are now active on the Stage RTA leaderboards (under "Levels"). Stage RTA involves collecting all the stars in a given stage including the 100 coin star. Timing starts on star select and ends upon collecting the final star. You are allowed to us
