Hello everyone!
Recently I've been kinda itching to do a speedrun of this game (just for the fun of it). However, I noticed that in the rules of the game you guys specifically mention ePXSe v1.9.0 as the version to use.
Now, this makes me wonder whether using ePSXe v2.0.5 (the newest version available to date) or any version higher than 1.9.0 for that matter would be ok to use for the run, or if there's some sort of restriction to use that version and only that version. Is this the case?
Thanks for reading!
Hello Mrmonsh!
Yes, it is pretty important that you play on ePSXe v 1.9.0 because all other versions can vary in loading times and in a worst case scenario end up faster than console loading times what we consider invalid because nothing can be legit which is faster than the original console.
Either way, 1.9.0 is the only version we found to be consistent so in order to have your run verified you should run on that version.
