Alright, so emulation has come a long way to where now it's easily accessible for running LC. So far it's just been IL runs and some slower times on the main boards, but a 1st place run was submitted for NG Any%. I think the days of me making major decisions about the game have pasted since i no longer actively run the game anymore. I have made Shivahaze a mod, he has been here for a long time and still runs the game. I made Edycis a mod too long time ago in case something happened and i couldnt verify runs, but is an active runner in a ton of games and has tons of knowledge from those communities.
Anyways... my questions is how should emu runs be handled? I had never got around to testing load times for emu, but i would suspect it's faster than console and would also be based on pc specs.
For the time being I will verify the run until the community/mods come to a decisions on what they want to do.
On the first load alone the PS3 Emu time gets into game around 17 seconds. Both Secondplace and Shiva's runs take around 25. It's incredibly likely Emu is saving a massive amount of time through the whole game and would be playing at a significant advantage.
PS3 and 360 emulation is more manageable than it used to be but there is a clear advantage through non official means.
Usually for something like this a separate board gets made since anything beyond PS2 emu is not accurate to original hardware load times.
Yeah with the load times being such a significant difference I would be in favor of splitting the categories for emu/hardware cause thats a huge advantage and adds up alot throughout the run, and would make it impossible for someone on official hardware to beat that time. Either splitting it into another tab or a drop down menu i think would be most fair, similar to how Demon Souls on ps3 has their leaderboards split.
If we're all in agreement can someone change the board to be split? Im not sure how to do it without messing something up lol
i can try, wish me luck.. if anything, emulators can just be set to not shown by default
ok, i did it, that was actually surprising simple to do, lol.
All you have to do is make the new category, then edit the run/runs you want to move and change them to new category.
Hmm i just noticed when i look at my profile it still lists my New Game PB as third place and not 2nd even tho you split the board lol and even if you click on Shiva's WR it says "2nd" in the info lol
tried to edit shivas run and save it, just to try and see if resubmitting it would refresh it, but didnt it do anything.
That actually seemed to do the trick, just took some time for it to catch up.... or it could of been that i posted in forums that there was a bug.. but i highly doubt it, lol.
