Emulators

I don't see any rule against them... Are they allowed?

If you try to submit a run you'll see that Emulators are not allowed, mostly because their load times are a lot faster. the one thing we could allow if you only submit your IGT as that doesn't change on emulator but the boards are RTA based so that wouldn't really make sense

What does RTA stand for? sry i'm new

Real Time Attack, when you manually start the timer, you cannot pause or take a break, task must be completed within a single session (depending on which category you're doing, like day long categories tend to allow hour long breaks, etc.)

What about break the targets? Are emulators allowed there? All the timing is in game in that case

If emulator was allowed for one category it would have to be for all, and considering load times messes with most categories it will not be allowed.

mkay thanks

If the only reason emulator is not allowed is because of its faster loading time, then I see no reason in not allowing it in a category which has no loading times.

Georgia, USA

But that's basically all the categories.

Uhh not really, see, the castle siege map actually rotates maps based on the loading time of your wii. So anything involving the chance of castle siege should basically not be allowed. As well as anything with loadscreens. Break the targets has no load screens, most of the cchallenges don't, so yeah idk

Unless the speedrun.com website tools don't allow for separate allowances between run categories
