I want to start running this game but also want to stream it... I do have an nes but I prefer to play on my retron 5 which is a retro console (still requires game cartages) and was wondering if that is allowed here

@Jumpyluff Did you even consider he has an bed?

He meant NES. Don't jump on his case because of autocorrect.

The retron5 just dumps the roms from the game and emulates it. So the real question is: is the retron5 an allowed emulator?

It's fine for all categories except Any% (with wrong warp). You just have to mark your runs as emulator runs.
