Hi, I’ve wanted to speedrun this game for a while but I have encountered some problems. I currently don’t have access to a GBC (due to covid). Also, I don’t own a windows computer, only an apple one. So I can only resort to specific emulators. I’ve done a bit of research and it seems that BizHawk (the only emulator accepted in this community) cannot be run on an apple computer. I believe this is due to apple moving to 64-bit and one of the components in the emulator being 32-bit only. And due to the emulator being abandoned the component will very likely not be upgraded to 64-bit. Before the bit change, it was somewhat possible to run the emulator (with some difficulties). But now it’s impossible. Therefore, I was wondering if another emulator that is apple friendly can be used instead? (Such as OpenEmu or DeSmuME) Thank you.

have you checked if it works on Gambatte emulator?

No, I haven't tried it, but i will check it out thank you.

However, on the rules section it says that "As of October 15th 2019, all emulator runs must use BizHawk. "

So if they don't change that I won't be able to do any runs.

Gambatte is allowed because BizHawk for GBC and GB has a Gambatte core

ohhh okay

I had no idea

thank you for your help!

Yeah even if we usually prefer BizHawk but Gambatte is currently allowed, we should add it to emulators allowed list. Be sure to have the last version of Gambatte.

well, it seems the latest version of Gambatte doesn't work for the mac os i have

i guess i won't be able to speedrun this game :/

I'm sorry. I don't know why @StarrlightSims or someone else from the moderators could not allow all emulators except VisualBoyAdvance

it's alright 😔

https://discord.gg/UkwsrwjF You should join the discord and ask for help (or an answer about this in that case).

Which version of mac os you have? "Added official support for macOS 10.13+" from the last version ( https://github.com/pokemon-speedrunning/gambatte-speedrun/releases )

sure i'll join ^^

i have the version 10.15.7

it seems that i didn't find that website when i first looked the emulator up, i could only find a 2014 version 😔

i'll try and download it and see if it works

thank you for your help btw

I have updated the rules to include Gambatte-Speedrun as an emulator option.
