Emulators

I was not sure where to post this but why is Emulators not allowed? I would be playing and submitting records here but don't have the systems or games

These are a Few Reasons:
- They are generally Illegal.
- You can Cheat on them to get high scores without any real way to prove you didn't use cheats.
- The Controls Mostly will be different, so even if you didn't cheat, it can be an unfair advantage to those who played on the Actual Console...

There are more Reasons, but I will let someone with more knowledge of Emulators talk about it.

The main problem is the "Restore point". You can save before that you fail and continue to up your score for example..

DEM's first point is the main one

There are so many unfair advantages to emulators, for example, save/restore points, that we'd have to show video proof and also show we aren't using any cheats, slowdowns, save/restore points, etc...

And I still haven't even figured out how to upload video proof to this website :|

MackyWacky, I will PM you with the instructions for it

Thanks. I think video proof showing the user isn't using any advantages should be required for emulator proof :)

nope. even if you make a fair Video proof of Emulator using without cheating, it shouldn't be allowed.

If you do not have a Game is not a good reason to use an emulator. Don't even think about using an emulator on this site.

Do you know the TAS(TAS Wiki) Videos on youtube? ppl using a programm to upload speedruns without any fails and it looks like he never using a savestate or anything else, but in fact, the end video do not show that this TAS user are "cheating".

In the end, dark eon master's first reason is why they are banned
