Also I can try to get a hold of nova over the next few days to see if I can get some moderation shifted around.
Hey, sorry for the late response. I'm the most active moderator left here and still check this site maybe once a week... as this is the case there never was really a discussion about emulation.
My thoughts are that emulator is fine as long as it's not getting a leg up on official hardware.
With that being said it does put duckstation in some iffy places. Overall as long as you're not overclocking the emu past what a ps2 can do I see no issue though. For the time being I would submit them under playstation and clarify in submission what emu and version you're using.
We haven't truly discovered what all causes the in-game timer to pause (it's a bit finicky and arbitrary from what we've been able to establish.)
With that being said, no we don't currently have a way to show the in-game timer constantly on stream regardless of if it's console or PC currently, and along with that there are no runs that show an in-game timer constantly on stream.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Faulty and I both did a race a couple years ago on a whim and he quick whipped up a leaderboard from there, and there is still evidence for both of our runs. The problem is that we looked at the game seriously for maybe a week and forgot to keep up-to-date from there.
Thanks for reminding us to go back to do that though, probably wouldn't have remembered to ever submit to this otherwise.
It would be worth it if it was faster. Sadly we already have a faster strat though.
so about 3 people decided to tell me that this event wasn't onsite for some reason, now knowing that it is if somebody could remove my submission that would be fantastic
