I've been thinking about running this game for a while and was next on my list, just beat me.

Anyway, was wondering if there was any recommendations for emulating this. I was planning ok simply using the latest version of pj64.

Yes! Sorry for beating you, there was a chat about it in the Turok Speedrunning discord server (which can be found here: https://discord.gg/xRDU3bK) and I got it on here. Will be posting more runs of trails soon. I don't have any particular recommendations other than using NRage as your input plugin, disabling "Real N64 Range" and using "Deadpan" as the input style (if you're using a mouse). Can't wait to see your runs!
