Hi everyone!

At the time, I'm doing all my runs using an emulator on my PC, but in the future, I'm gonna install POPStarter emu in my PS2 and try to play CTR from my console.

The thing is that this method involves a problem with the aku aku mask animation (it doesn't show), so that makes me wonder how much legal is to use an emu in my PS2 to run this game.

I want to know this to just keep my runs on my PC emu or to change to console using an original disc (sadly a more expensive option in my country)

I wouldn't recommend using emu on PS2 how you've described it.

You could just continue on emulator, iirc it's not too big a deal for ctr. Another alternative would be soft modding your PS2 to run burned discs (there should be a lot of how-to videos on the internet).

"The thing is that this method involves a problem with the aku aku mask animation (it doesn't show), so that makes me wonder how much legal is to use an emu in my PS2 to run this game. "

Then that's illegal. I had the same problem with a certain ISO back when I joined speedrunning and so, everyone put me out of the leaderboards.
