sounds like the best solution for your case is to actually get windows. or maybe you contact the developer of Bizhawk and ask for a Ubuntu version. you could also get a console and the game.
"sounds like the best solution for your case is to actually get windows." I sure hope you're not serious while posting this...
"and a pretty convincing majority voted for the ban of VBA on the leaderboard." Was there a public poll for this ? I'm alright with a VBA ban but immediately removing all the runs that were made on VBA without notice is not the right way to do it imho
Why don't you simply begin by telling the runners, then by moving the Timers to a new VBA% category ? What are those methods seriously ?
I´m just gonna be brutaly honest here. If you have no way of running this game any kind of legit version your time wont be on the board. thats it. it doesnt mean you are not allowed to run the game and track your progress. this leaderboard is not about you showing off how cool you are or w/e you think it is that makes it important to be represented on it. if you pay close attention you see that my run (4th place at the time) got removed from the board aswell. and i am fine with it because i know that my run has no basis for any kind of fair competition. if i wanted to still do runs on VBA i could noone is going to stop me noone will stop you from doing so. but asking for a category that has absolutely no basis whatsoever is just beyond selfish. This descision was/is the only right choice to make to provide equal chances for everyone competing on console. And console runs should always be the standards Emulators have to be comparable to.
