Is it legal to use a PC emulator plus non N64 controller?

It's not exactly "legal" but it's an acceptable way to speedrun, as long as you submit to the emulator category

How do you do nonstop on project64? I want to try to do 16 star ns.

You gotta use gameshark codes... I think

OK. I'll try that

Specifically for US, you use 8124DDBC 2400 8124DE1C 2400 and for japanese, you use 8124DC1C 2400 8124DC74 2400 for nonstop. You can also use 8124BBD4 2400 for us and 8124BA34 2400 for Japanese to skip the intro. You can also use D133AFA0 F000
8033B239 0004
D033B26B 0000
8033B239 0001 for us and D1339C30 F000
80339EC9 0004
D0339EFB 0000
80339EC9 0001 for Japanese to soft reset using A, B, Z, and Start.

Thanks a bunch. Imma try to get sub-20 minute.

Do I just put it in the slot A codes thing in cheats on pj64?

I think so but I don't really know. If it doesn't work then maybe do some research or ask on the discord. (Also why do you keep changing your speedrun.com profile lol)

Idk, I can't choose, but I like the decidueye picture.

Just realized that the Sandshrew is not centered imma go change that.

Actually they both aren't.

nvm I lost the file.

since this is a thread about sm64 questions, I have one. is retroarch allowed? it runs a bit better on my PC (Because it uses the original resolution of the N64) than project 64. if not, that's okay, I was just wondering.

Umm I don't know

No, PJ64 1.6 is the only one allowed.

gotcha. alright. any idea why retroarch isn't allowed?

Probably because it's easier to cheat on retroarch or it gives an unfair advatage like running at a higher fps which is the case for you. They probably only allow certain emu's because they don't want to do research on different emulators to see which ones should be allowed.

followup question, if i want to speedrun on a regular n64, how do i do save states where i can practice strats for each world, and just teleport like i see streamers do on twitch

You need an everdrive and the usamune ROM, that will let you use save states and go to different worlds right away
