PortugalYes, the PS5 Version is allowed. It should say that on the main page and also there's a specific rule for the PS4/5 Versions so if took a look you could have probably assumed it was allowed :p
Hi, @BraydenTheLoser14, we decided to not allow DC Emulator due to the big differences in Loading Times. There is currently no Load Remover that is image based that could be used for Consoles so allowing the Emulator on the same board isn't fair/viable.
We also don't see a need in creating a separate board just for DC Emulator as the demand is not very big and there's easier & better ways to run the game (e.g. PC/N64 Emu) so unfortunately if you really want to submit runs of this game for Dreamcast, it'll have to be original hardware but I hope to see some runs from you maybe for the other versions? :)
Hi, if it's not specified in the rules then it probably means it's not allowed. You're the first person to ask for DC Emulators so there hasn't been a need to check/verify the integrity of the DC Emulators up until now.
You can talk to us on the Discord about it. In either case, @Spagettd was the one who forwarded this thread so we're discussing and we'll see if we can allow DC Emulation, we'll post an update here once that's decided.

That's not what Electric told me. He told me that the run was rejected because of custom music but the 40 Token run was accepted; when I checked the run it had perfect audio everywhere so obviously I wasn't awere of it. I also don't think a run should be rejected if the audio cuts off in some parts of the video if the rest of the run is perfectly fine. Also if the run was streamed on Twitch or etc. it should be taken into account even if audio is missing or video freezes for some periods.
As for everything else that was said, I agree.
First of all, anybody that runs this game could simply remove BGM and play the game without any music whatsoever and just have the coin/enemy/laser etc. sound effects and submit a run; this basically means that you could play with sound only (no music) and submit a run and it should be accepted.
Second of all, because of what's said above, the difference in someone playing without BGM or using a different song/playing Spotify or other songs while streaming or doing attempts is basically non existent; there's frankly no reason whatsoever for this to not be allowed.
Third of all, like Electric said other communities allow for it and unless your run is WR and a showcase of the game, there's not really a reason to gatekeep anyone from having fun however they want to have fun (e.g. changing songs) if they're not hurting anyone.
Runs getting rejected because of editing music is the most silly thing on the planet, specially considering Electric's 40 Token run was accepted which edits songs but his 100% run was rejected. Make it make sense. Also there was never a set rule about any of this, people can just listen to Spotify, turn off music etc. and it would be equivelant to the same exact thing [as mentioned before].
But alas, arguing in this community about anything is a waste of time.
The IL leaderboards are not very competitive. For actual runs, the categories are separated. Also just because the game runs at a higher framerate on PC does not mean that it will be faster as some Levels & Tokens are actually faster on N64 EMU or even N64 Console (Zurg). The only competitive ILs are the ones that are used for the Category Routes (Any% 30 Token/40 Token & 100%), they are kept track of in a separate document. Now when it comes to the ILs being separated by Console, I'm not opposed to it. I will say that once you're inside the Level there's not much in terms of difference, it mostly has to do with Buzz's movement speed (slightly faster at 30 fps) or lag (which is only a big issue on N64 Console).

I'm not sure exactly how to help since I've only used DuckStation once and I didn't have any issues with textures. Most people play the PC or N64 EMU version which have no issues. But if you're determined to play the PS1 version w/ DuckStation then maybe someone could help you out on the Toy Story 2 Discord: https://discord.gg/2hahs9f
