So I'm a new runner. I'm considering running the pc collection port as that's the version I'm most comfortable with.

1. Would I be allowed to run the sega pc reloaded patch, which stabilizes the frame rate to the intended 30 fps, and fixes the aspect ratio and vsync bugs?

2. What about the mod loader? If I loaded mods that change music or color palettes, but retain the same game play (No cheats or drop dash mod), would they still qualify?

If I can help it, I'm willing to go the extra mile to assure the authenticity of running like this (showing the mods enabled as well as the cheats tab, only using certain types of music, etc).

If the answer to both is no, I'll probably try to familiarize myself to the steam version.
