So basically my question is are things like the RetroDuo or RetroTrio+ or Retron5 Allowed or are you required to use original consoles. Also the RetroDuo/Trio use actual nes hardware while the retron5 uses emulation, but would you put both the consoles under emulation?

A lot of the clone consoles are notoriously inaccurate. For many games, it might not be a big deal to use those. However, for a game as optimized as this one where milliseconds are significant, we have elected not to accept those. We maintain the same ruleset for all skill levels to keep things fair.
Roopert literally just stated why

The emulators we allow are perfectly accurate.
Any% (NTSC) runs below 4:57.000 must now fulfill additional requirements in order to be verified.
- The run's full session must be included in the submission description.
- For emulator runs below 4:57.000, some form of input display must be visible for the duration of the run. A hand-cam or input
