Hey, this is a very new game for Speedrunning, but tell me when everything is up and working.
Maybe one of the mods should make a emulation category and a console category, like SM64. When I speedrun SM64 16 Star I use emulation for runs and practicing and I already have the cartridge of the game to practice on sometimes, or I use USAMUNE.
There is a legal loophole around having roms without owning the physical games. When say Nintendo sues a romsite most of the time they'll lose because the Rom site will have text saying "The Best Site for the Preservation of Games." Like Vimm's Lair. They never explicitly say to download our roms and play them. Also, when you see a emulator or a rom download video on YouTube most of the time they'll say in the video that this is for educational purposes only, or they'll have that in their description.
Go watch Nerrel's videos on Emulation:
I was halfway through a Any% run and trust me they were not overpowered, at least for some sections of the game, like when you have to use the mouse in a horizontal line. Now with cutting stuff, they are definitely overpowered.
Hey, I wanna probably speedrun this game and I don't have the game or a Capture card for the DS. So, respond if emulators are cool for Cooking Mama 2: The Sequel
