I Started Running This Game Last Year (2023)... Got What I Thought For Me Was Decent Time (IGT 57:10/RTA 59:34) On NTSC U PS2 But Never Submitted It (And The PS2 Died Soon After)

Went Back To Grinding For A Better PB This Week On A 90k Jap PS2 And Got a 56:59 IGT.

Here's My Issue... I Had No Deaths All The Way Up Until Madnar Where I Got Crushed By The Roller (I Was Greedy) Which Eventually Cost Me 30 Seconds On My Splits

I Ended Up Finishing The Run +10 Seconds Ahead Of My Old Splits (59:45) But Yet Gained 11 Seconds On IGT (56:59) With A Death (Previous Run Was Deathless I Think)

Any Idea Why?

With The Segmented Runs That Are Currently On The SD Console Runs...

What Would Be Considered 1st Place Etc?

A Single Segment Run? [If One Was To Be Submitted] Or The Segmented Run?

Is/Has There Been An Agreed Emulator For This Game?

Looking To Start Running New Game Any% On Emu And Wondered Which Emu Was Best To Use.

I'm Using A 'Off The Shelf' Japanese PS2 (90000) For Running My Japanese Copy. (Not Dualshock) (Non Modded)

Is This Classed As A Mod Chip Run Or Non Mod Chip?

Thanks

I'd Like To Put Forward A Question To the Speedruning Community.

I've Been Trying Out 'No Item Box' Casual Playthroughs/Speedrun Routing... It Has Significant Changes To Normal Speedruns ie Spider Fight Is Before Yawn 2... Pick Up The 2 Books Just Before Lisa etc

I Would Genuinely Like To Know If People Would Be Interested In Making This A New Speedrun Category?

I Would Appreciate The Feedback. Thanks!

Right im confused... times on here are submitted by IGT right? Here's My Issue... I've just set a time on Claire A (Now Up For Debate) On A Japanese PS2 And I'm Now(According To My Livesplit 1 20 25)But My IGT Says 1 21 33 <---- I Know For A Fact That Shouldn't Be Saying That... I've Also Had Issues With My PBs With My Leon A Runs With My Livesplit Bein Better Then My IGT (That 1 20 25 Is Now Apparantly 2nd Place) Can Someone Claify This For Me Please? Also Fast Disc Speed Is OFF... Does That Need To Be On?
