I'm kind of new to speedrunning and interested in giving this game a shot as its one of my favorites.

I have the game on Wii U VC, Wii VC, and N64, but emulator would be much more comfortable for me.

But I noticed in the rules description that emulator is banned. I don't mind my times not being recorded if I play on emulator, since I'm not really interested in the leaderboard aspect of the community, but I'm curious if there's anything about playing on an emulator that makes the speedrun not work properly or would mess me up when I try going from emulator to a different version of the game?

I noticed the comparison video where the times where significantly faster on emulator, but thats alright for me while I'm just starting out.
