As a more serious response:
"It is impossible to get the world record on emulator and the emulator has a big disadvantage over console."
I struggle to subscribe to the idea of "you can't get the best time, so it doesn't matter". WR is just another run that happens to be faster than other known times. As an entity, WRs and non-WRs aren't - and shouldn't be - distinguishable by way of treatment and attitudes, in my opinion.
I've made this evident in the past, but I like the idea of having a "standard" for emulators. That is, emulators are banned unless stated otherwise; not the other way around. If there are variations in emulators, the actual credibility of runs blur - there are just too many variables.
I refer to my previous paragraph when considering the newest ePSXe version: "emulators are banned unless stated otherwise". We don't know enough about how it behaves. I believe it should be unbanned if and when we have credible evidence that it's fit for use and comparable to the other accepted emulators. Load times aren't the only factor to consider. There are likely variables between emulators we haven't even thought about.
And of course, the classic argument: we're emulating PS1; not PS2, PS3, or Vita. I know people are torn, and I can see both sides, but I believe the emulator should be comparable to the console it wishes to imitate, not what happens to be the fastest console.
I agree with retro, but I think overclocking shouldn't be used on emulators, as it can lead to some fucked up bullshit with accuracy if left unchecked.
"Its really quite simple logic. There is LITERALLY no valid reason to ban 2.0 right now - it was just a poor, rushed and stubborn decision to ban it. I dont see how unbanning 2.0 is even up for debate. There is no long discussion necessary - it is obvious that it should be unbanned. Unban it asap."
OK, right, the discussion went on for way too fucking long, so dont go about saying "rushed" to be quite frank with you, we were tired discussing emus either way. plus, if 2.0 is SO SIMILAR to 1.9.25, use 1.9.25 then, dont complain to the internet only because you cant be assed to change emus
