Going by In game time the run with the skip should be 15 seconds faster not 18 faster.
The skip is repeatable on the console also so its fine. gonna look at some frame counters and see if there are any major differences.
The Emu Dormouse is using also makes a very odd sound when hitting enemies which makes me curious if its running properly.
I would also like to know what emulator is being used for the run. Just so we can consider if some emulators or roms may not be stable enough to reliably use.
My guess is Mednafen its quite popular with russian runners. Its also very inaccurate and shouldnt be used. The devs even admit the core is inaccurate in their own documentation.
