Would it be okay if I did a PSP Metal Slug 6 (Anthology) speedrun that's Low% Hard (default pistol only), but with autofire allowed? Could be its own stand-alone category. :)

It's an option in-game after all, and let's be real here, furiously pressing the fire button with the pistol is very annoying. Not impossible to do of course, but I'd rather not have to replace my controller more often than needed from wearing out the fire button, and it's also tiresome on your thumbs during practice runs. lol

P.S. I'd like to do the same exact category idea for Metal Slug X and Metal Slug 3, if it's okay as well?

What if i used Castlevania The Dracula X Chronicles, just to play Castlevania Rondo of Blood with the Bizhawk emulator. Would this be okay? And if yes, which category does it fall under? :)

Was wondering if it'd be okay for me to speedrun RE2 on RetroArch with Duckstation/Swanstation emulation? Or with the stand-alone Bizhawk/Duckstation emulators? :)

I ask this because i'm only able to play TLoD on emulator, and would LOVE to speedrun this. :) Mostly interested in doing a Low% run. lol

If i submit a run of Chrono Trigger on a DS emulator (RetroArch or stand-alone desmume), can a new category be made specifically for it? :)

The title says it all, was wondering if it's allowed for Contra 3? Let's say you remap the controller button layout between each stage (side scrolling view and top down view controller changes), for example. Even if it's only switching two buttons?

Was wondering instead of going through hard mode in order to play very hard mode, i can just make a save state starting before the weapon select screen (during the Konami all rights reserved screen) for stage 1, after hard modes completion of course, in order to do very hard only for speedrunning? And since 3 ship lives is what you normally start with for easy/normal/hard, the save state must also start with 3 ship lives.

So the category would be called: Very Hard (3 Lives Start). With a save state that starts during the "Konami all rights reserved" screen... The timer must start as soon as the "Konami all rights reserved" screen turns to black, before the weapon select screen appears.

Would this unique category be okay for implementation? I think it'd be a real fun/challenging speedrun to add. :)

The title says it all, i'm surprised i don't see Front Mission: Gun Hazard as an option on here. lol

I would REALLY appreciate it if an emulator section was made for Star Fox speedruns, since i'm not able to use real hardware for it. I'd like to use the latest version of Snes9x... Please make it happen, i'm literally suffering over here knowing that Star Fox only has real hardware as a category. lol Emulation definitely deserves to be its own separate thing. :D Of course, only specific emulators should be used. I personally want to do "Level 3 Warpless"! I'm also not concerned about getting the same speed times as real consoles. I don't want to compete against them, but only against other emulator users.
