Hey there, I'm very new to the whole speedrunning thing and NMH 2 will be the first (and likely last) game that I will attempt to run. I was wondering if I am required to use splits for the game, as I'm not sure if its compulsory for most runs or its just personal preference for more detailed statistics. Am I also allowed to use the Dolphin Emulator? I have the game for the wii but recording will be way easier for me on PC due to my setup.
Thanks!
Splits are not required at all; you can use a simple timer if you want. Just make sure the timer begins and ends at the right moments.
Honestly, the topic of emulation has never come up for this game before, but I have no issues with it so long as you mark it as "emulator" when you submit it to the board. Dolphin is a solid emulator, so it likely wouldn't make too much of a difference, if any. I say "go for it." I don't speak for everyone, but the game has never been too active anyway and properly labeling it should make it okay for most. If others have a problem about emulator runs, they can come to me about it. :P
If you have any other questions, let me know. If you use Discord, I can give you the link to our channel in case you want quicker feedback.
Alright, awesome! Only reason I asked about splits is that I'm horrible at timing them in previous test runs, or I just panic and double tap the button and miss an entire split XD. And yeah awesome you can add me to the channel, its DomainofPicasso#8666. Thanks for the help!
