Why do sm64 speedrun.com mods care so much about emulator version?

Post Body

I got a pb of 1:01 on emulator and it got rejected because it was on p64 1.7 instead of 1.6. like who fucking cares dude i am like #500 on the leaderboards, i have no idea what difference it makes, in fact now i am running on parallel launcher and i am determined to get WR on it just to shove it in their faces.

legit question tho if it doesn't have lag reduction what is the fucking point of nitpicking the emulator version? also p64 1.6 has a major security vulnerability so its pretty irresponsible of them to recommend that you use it.

UPDATE: I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE FORUMS AND I HAVE LEARNED THAT NEWER VERSIONS HAVE FASTER LOSD TIMES AND ARE HARD TO DEFINITIVELY VERIFY. SO PLEASE PUT YOUR PITCHFORKS AWAY 😭😭😭

At the top end of such a popular game, the margins are narrow enough that slight inaccuracies matter. 

No one is stopping you from running on any emulator you like, but you can't insist on being on a leaderboard you're not following the rules for.

So long as you're enjoying yourself, that'll have to be enough.
