Hey guys, new to the speedrunning scene on this game and I have a couple of questions.

1. Emulator:

So first off I use a Macbook air M1 chip 2022 model, and the emulator my friends have suggested to me is citra, is this emulator allowed for speedrunning?

2. Recording device.

Does anyone know where I can get a cheap capture card for my 2ds or is recording the screen via another device acceptable, if so what device would you suggest is best to record the screen with and how do i set the device up so that the DS is in a good viewable position?

3. Splits.

Where can I find splits that I can download for my macbook?

1. emulator depends on each game scenario; in the case of this game, there is cleary a subcategory in the leaderboards for emulators, so you fortunately can go there :D https://www.speedrun.com/sm3dl?h=Any-Emulator&x=7kjo3g23-onvv040n.9qjkpyo1

2. as long as the screen is verificable, i quote from the general rules (check the rules btw): "Webcam/phone recording is acceptable (so you can) // NTR video capture is NOT allowed" (i actualy don't know what is NTR video capture but ther is that)

3. https://www.speedrun.com/sm3dl/resources there is splits for the any% speedrun category, for others you could maybe as in the discord server if some other member can share his

glhf running this game :D
