Wasn't planning to come back to this game for a while since I'm kinda busy with learning and getting ready for the Solo 1545 race set to take place later this year, but I shrimply couldn't let being bopped by a PCSX2 run slide >:(
Seriously though, I rarely ever have nothing to complain about in my PBs, but with this one I actually cannot think of anything going particularly bad, mainly due to the fact that I can't recall there being any unintentional deaths at all, which I'm pretty sure is a first for me in this category lmao
As of now, you can submit runs to the lederboards played on PCSX2 (Nightly) v1.7. or higher. The emulation accuracy has improved dramatically in recent times and combined with the loadless timing and the load remover, PCSX2 can finally go on the boards as well. Some basic settings are specified here
