There are some examples of lua scripts that can be used in the fceux emulator to display statistics, etc. while playing the game. These scripts act by reading registers in the RAM and then doing interesting calculations with the viruses eliminated, time elapsed, etc. They do not affect gameplay in any way. I have two examples.

Another developer wrote this one, which shows a bunch of stats like number of clears, total viruses cleared, amount of time the player is not pressing down, etc,:

This is a simpler one I wrote, which estimates where I'll be at the 30:00 mark (30:00 runs are how we qualify for our monthly tournament):

My question is, would a speedrun submission that looked like this be rejected due to the use of such a script?

Thanks!
