Hello,

I'm creating a thread because I never had a clear answer. I know emulator is different from console by so many ways, but can't we/you create an emulator category (in the misc part for example), like it happened for FFX ?

I think it would be cool for those who can't afford all the equipement yet, and would probably welcome some more runners. Not that everyone would run on emulator, but yeah it would be great to be able to post my time on the leaderboard,

Thanks for your attention and have a great day/night/afternoon/whatever :)

As far as I know, emulator runs are banned on speedrun.com. This is something that will need to be taken up with the ones who make the rules on the site. Someone else has also asked me about this same issue and told them the same thing. There is nothing I can personally do about that.

All I can say is to keep on practicing on emulator until you can afford the equipment. There is nothing stopping you from practicing.

Emulator runs are not banned site-wide, there is an option in each game's settings to allow emulator runs or not. As a moderator for the game you do have the ability to allow or disallow emulator runs as you wish.

Emulators are not banned at all, its up to the mods whether they are or not. Just wanted to say that purchasing a NTSC-U PS2 (Especially 90001) and the game while being from EU is very expensive.

If they were banned I wouldnt ask for a category, actually ^^. If you look closely, for emulator, many games have either a category or emulator are part of the main leaderboard (for FFX it's hidden in the misc category for example).

And yeah, Symm is right. It's very expensive to get this stuff.

So If we could have one or both mods answering and making it happen, I think a misc category would be welcome, again. I don't see any reasons to not adding it, actually D:

Thanks.

I have added the emulator category under the misc section for our friends who are not able to play on a PS2. Good luck with your runs
