Emulator loads are approximately the same as console. GC isn't the optimal console anyway, iirc, as Xbox loads are faster. On top of that, there's no good way to time out loads, unless you mean going off minigame time, in which case I'd say that's good for IL's but not for full game runs
Just an update on this, despite there being clear and obvious loading screens the current moderators are uninterested in adopting such a timing method despite myself volunteering whole heartedly to do this alone pending approval from them once completed. Their advice is to buy an Xbox if you want a competitive time :(
People time them out (if they want) and then moderators verify the run, why is that so shocking? 😂
Gl with your runs though, have a scan of the forums and guides for help :)
