I don't plan to speedrun this game, but I'm curious on the state of emulating the Wii version.

The dolphin wiki indicates that the game has no issues, but using any texture filtering features will cause FMVs to display incorrectly, as will setting internal resolution to auto.

Would Dolphin be permissible to play the Wii version?

The rules don't seem to mention anything on this, but it seems like every run is either on console or PC, as if emulator isn't allowed? Please clarify, not for me but for anyone else who wants to speedrun using an emulator.

I was playing casually, and I managed to trigger a Collector while in a cutscene (namely, the "I'll be your BFF" doll and the Collector right by it)

The tuba sound got really high pitched.

I'm unsure, but maybe check this for other glitchy behaviour? We already know the tuba sounds glitch, does anything else?

This was on a Wii U, with a real disc. I'm using the later PEGI 7 ver, not the original PEGI 12 ver.

There's a ToyPad emulator that runs on the Raspberry Pi 4(B) as well as the Zero (2) W and can be used on real console (Doubt it works on xbox tho) link is https://github.com/Berny23/LD-ToyPad-Emulator it even works in a VM if you're using Cemu or RPCS3 One note tho - the Wii U's USB ports don't give much power so if you want to use this on a real Wii U, better be using a Zero (2) W cus the 4B can't be powered from the Wii U in my testing EDIT: By the way, you can use a 4B with a PS4. I don't have a copy of the game on PS4 but I'm able to SSH into my Pi when it's plugged into my PS4 Pro
