Connecticut, USADue to it being an oversight on my end, and unless others want to say anything about it, I think we can keep your runs. However any future runs on xemu will not be accepted. From what I have seen, the majority of Speedrunners here use emulators, minus one person. Unless they want to say anything to that effect, I think the rules are fair the way they are since cxbx, while buggy as all hell, still functions and gets the job done and overall is the fastes way to run this game. If you can look into load removers more, and start a new thread on how to do it for future runs, I have no problem with adding it to the rules.
Since I am new to this, we could try using load removers and see if that is useful as I know some runs do that where the timer automatically stops during loading screens, but I am unsure if that is something that can be done via emulator. I will say that xemu s unless help is provided will still not be allowed due to accessibility of getting it to work. You and sneezeball both did it, maybe it is just me but I tried with everything and could not even get it to load. I can put in rules to from now on habe runs only ve times while In the actual game but it is difficult as you said. How would you stop the timer everytime a loading screen occurs, and if ya cant, then removing the loading screens every time sounds like a huge hassle.
Actually, I did see that the previous runs on consoles for PS2 said they should seperate, so perhaps it is something to consider?
As soulcloset said, if people were to run this via emulator, cbx while glitchy is the easiest option. Xemu is better no doubt but without a bios file and others, it isn’t easily accessible. Is for console vs emulator, I saw only one run and there seems to be barely any difference. However if there is shown to be a significant difference, then we can split it.
Definitely emulation error. Cbx works but it’s hella scuffed.
Hey! I also did the same. Xemu would be the only way I think but unfortunately, without a bios, it won’t.
