I've been doing some research on the run with different emulators.

It would seem that ePSXE 1.9 is about 2-3minutes slower than using psxFin 1.3. This is mainly because ePSXE also emulates loading times between screen whereas psxFin does not. Hence the huge time difference between the two.

So I would like to claim that runs made using ePSXE should be validated through a console category and not emulator.

This is not a big issue at all, just some thoughts I had.

Hey, just wondering as I'm looking to get into speed-running the game if there were specific emulation settings/plugins required on top of those two emulators.
