I've noticed emulators aren't allowed for runs of this game, and I'm not sure why. I know for RTA runs an emulator can reduce crashes when performing the 20th Force Glitch, but I was hoping to do some Glitchless runs of the game. I was hoping to start speedrunning my favourite game but am unable to have them uploaded. Could someone enlighten me as to why emulator is banned? Is there some other technicalities I'm unaware of that emulator has an advantage over?

Actually I don't see a reason atm for banning emulator runs. Sadly the game is kinda dead anyway. I just opened the game towards emulators as well. At least as long as no one else is against it. I mean it doesn't really have many negative points. The only negative thing I'd see is the possibility of modifying the emulator but this is identifiable in my point of view. I mean there isn't that much that would affect the run besides framerate and other small modifications, which are still banned logically. In my opinion, by allowing emulator runs, the game is kinda revivable, because the physical copy of the game itself is hard to come by. Anyway, thanks Saurus for pointing it out.
