My computer doesn't have a CD drive but I want to speedrun this game.

Am I allowed to spoof a CD using an ISO of the original one? EDIT: I've changed my mind about using an ISO, there is a no-cd patch that I will instead use. See: https://github.com/mvdhout1992/LegoIsland2Patches/blob/master/README.md

I know the rules don't say it's not allowed, but it might create a performance advantage so I thought I would check.
