Which emulator should i use? There aren't any not allowed, but i found out that EPSXE 1.9.25 has faster load times than 2.0.5
Usually speedrunners use Mednafen because it's the most similar to real PS1. It's kinda difficult to set up though and if you use a controller, the buttons are slightly less responsive, but still I recommend this one. Fastest in probably ePSXe but I had a graphical glitch when detonating bombs with it.
So I did a load comparison since I'm on console and Wesen saved 2:11 in pure loads which is insanely inaccurate. This is a very bad emulation policy imo.
Also to note, I'm on a 90k PS2 where the standard for accuracy of a PS1 emulator should be a PS1.
Yea, emulators save insane amount. What are you suggesting? Split the boards into emu and console? Sadly I think this game has too little runners to do that :D
I was thinking about running this on actual console as well at first. But given the fact I'm in europe and didn't have NTSC PS2 at the time I was like "eh, let's just do emu" :D
If you want to split the leaderboards, I would be fine with that. Loadless might also be possible.
