As of writing this message the rules state that we need to be using "Bizhawk", "psx", or "ePSXe" for valid emulation runs. Is there a possibility of allowing other emulators, in particular "Duckstation" or "Mednafen"?

I'm on Linux (not Windows) and the only available option listed under the Rules is "ePSXe". This emulator hasn't been updated since 2016 so I can't really use it. This requires installing very outdated versions of some runtime libraries which can be unsafe and difficult to deal with on modern Linux systems, especially when trying to install in parallel with their newer counterparts.

Cross-platform Emulators (available for both Linux & Windows) I've been using are "Duckstation" and "Mednafen". Both are actively developed and used by many other speedrun boards, especially "Duckstation" which is easier to work with and quite accurate. I saw that some of you guys have already been testing it for performance comparisons. If you're willing to look into either of them further and decide on either to be allowed for valid Emu runs I'd really appreciate it.
