Are runs allowed with emulators? I know that some older games for NES/SNES/GB allow them but, but there's no listed "Game Rules" for this game at all so... yeah.

Hi, yes, emulators are allowed. We haven't established any official rules yet, but BGB and Gambatte are both perfectly accurate to console. VisualBoyAdvance and other emulators can run faster (or slower) and don't emulate lag properly.
