Hey I just wanted to check that this emulator version was allowed
PCSX2 V1.7.5704
Yes, this version is allowed. Just note that it may be slower in loading time than version 1.6.0.
Not sure you will feel much to it at all in this game, but yeah it is something to note. Not sure if there is much to any lag difference but newer versions will run better on worse machines of course.
@Nighlin Last time you and I were prepping the run for the Lime City marathon, i tried playing on 1.7 and was losing a few minutes to loading times. It could be different now that 1.7 is on a further version, but I think theyre going for more "accuracy" in loads and performance on 1.7 so I doubt it. I think it makes more of a difference because the speedhack settings were default in the rules for this game for 1.6.0, so it gets the load speed buff from that
^ This is all true, but yeah if you lag on 1.6.0 then go ahead and use further versions, if not use 1.6.0 for some time buffs from loads and speedhack settings. No harm no foul.
Just to give the loads that I tested for future reference.
