Seen as though EPSXE has not been receiving updates for around 4 years it has now been considered not viable. I have already put in place replacement emulators (XEBRA, Mednafen, RetroArch Beetle/Beetle HW) that can be used. (Also up for suggestions too for any other alternatives)

As another note, it is now needed that you must capture the emulators window unless if running RetroArch. If running RetroArch you must show the settings before or after a run so we can verify it's the right core.

Concerning old runs not stating the emulators or running EPSXE, they will still stay and I will find a suitable location to place them (Maybe a separate category) losing hard work is a no in my eyes. I know this is a little bit frustrating if you were planning on using EPSXE but it's just not viable at this point going forward.

Hey there, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to set up a Discord for this game at all? I was mainly thinking for stuff like if anyone has questions about certain things in the game, run or in general or for discussions and stuff like that. Some times people may also have stuff they'd want to ask or talk through without clogging the forums, it's just something I've been thinking about. Let me know what you think.

Hey there, just opened this leaderboard up for people wanting to speedrun this game. This is just to say if you are wondering where NOX, EVE, NECO and MODOKI are I chose to split them up into their own sections in the Level Leaderboard section. The main reason I decided to do this is due to the those characters mainly being boss or bonus characters so therefor more powerful, it's just to be safe really. I wouldn't mind discussing this but for now it's best to leave them there until more research on them is done. That being said, they are still perfectly playable for the All Character category. I hope I didn't ramble too much, just wanted to let everyone know the deal, you can also find me on the Zero Divide Discord too https://discordapp.com/invite/A7GdyB7

Hey there, I spent some time overhauling the look and the setup of the leaderboards as it was a bit of a mess the first time I set it up. Cleaned it up a little and included every category I could think of (as well as keeping it as fair as possible) other than the Tiny Phalanx mini-game.

I'm considering on adding the mini-game too at a later date but I need to research it more to see if it's more viable for speedrunning due to it being a side scroll shooter.

Ok so I was grinding out this boss fight to see if I could find a way to beat her more consistent. The Grabbing works great but there were many times Viola would interrupt or just escape, this strat is kinda like a hybrid of DaisyFan's grab and one I found while grinding. Here's a video I made explaining it, the times you're more likely safe to grab and showing it in action. Hopefully it's of use.

After wondering which would be most fair I decided to opt for In Game Time as default due to the speed difference between PAL and NTSC regions. This also means only In Game Time is needed now but feel free to add your Real Times if you would like to.

Hi there, I've been working on a Evil Zone run for the console version of the game but I play the PAL European release. I hope this is the right place to ask would you be considering to add a EUR/PAL option in the Region setting?
