Is there any objection to allowing the Switch Online Game Boy emulator for runs?

I'm the new supermod for SWAT 3 (https://www.speedrun.com/swat_3/) and I'd like to have it added to the "SWAT Series" if that's ok with everyone.

I'd like to propose a change in the level 1-19 category to include:

"Player must start with a blank high score table."

Here's why: "Levels 16-18: "Best Players Initials" The play field begins with blocks that spell out the initials of the players that ranked in the top three on the game's Hi-Scores list, with Level 16 showing the player in 1st, Level 17 showing the player in 2nd, and Level 18 showing the player in 3rd."

Because of this, a player could get set the top 3 scores as UUU, LLL, III or something equally advantageous. This should be clarified to be fair to the existing records, and to encourage use of the more cheat-resistant WolfMAME.

Existing records should be grandfathered, and the top three already follow this rule.

Hello. Can the rules for this be update to reflect the newest record?

Currently the rules state: "Time starts when clicking on the 1st chapter and ends on delivering the final checkmate."

However, shiai started on the 8th chapter. So may be just change it to: "Time starts when clicking on a chapter..."

Otherwise, it's a little confusing.

What is the preferred/accepted emulator for this game?

Thanks, -D

I just had my run rejected, despite following the rules as written, which originally stated: "you may use any settings".

AFTER my run was submitted the rules were changed to require start at level 0. That's not cool.

Functionally, there is no difference between starting at level 0 and level 9 as hard-downs are used throughout the run.

Are there any more rules you'd like to add before I run it again?
