UkraineI mean, it's great then, it's not like I need it
You might not have the code depending on your usrcheat.dat. There is one I uploaded with it in resources but I can't download it anymore for some reason. Just look for one in the internet if needed.
From rules:
Emulator: Allowed emulators: Bizhawk, Mednafen and PPSSPP(for DXC)
I was the first person to ask verifier few months ago because there was literally 1 person who had time to verify runs. Nothing changed since then and I'm still willing to verify a run or two per day.
If you want to get some additional info or ask some questions about DS/GBA CV games runs the best place to ask them would be our discord in specific game's channel. Also feel free to PM me or other runners as well as ask anything during livestreams. I wanted to do a guide of some sort earlier but honestly the game is literally free to pick up and run. Also remember that you don't have to aim for top times at first. My first finished run was 29 minutes with 2 Menace resets for example. So just practice, run and at least try having fun. :)
What kind of research are we talking about? I just spent like an hour to time some loadings (randomly chosen) from 4 any% runs on leaderboards (AANXAAN's, Romscout's, mine and Strizer86's (I couldn't download Frozer's one because it is on Twitch)) which are done on different platforms and 2 flashcart runs just to see if there's any difference. Videos I downloaded were 30fps while game runs at 60, so if you double the frames I counted at 30fps you get approximate number of frames in 60fps (I added them in brackets after 30fps number) and here's the result: Loading before the first room in The Lost Village AANXAAN – 6(12) frames DS emu Romscout – 8(16) frames DS Diagon – 8(16) frames 3DS flashcart Strizer – 9(18) frames 3DS flashcart
Loading before cutscene with Yoko and Julius AANXAAN – 4(8) frames DS emu Romscout – 6(12) frames DS Diagon – 6(12) frames 3DS flashcart Strizer – 6(12) frames 3DS flashcart
Loading before entering Demon Guest House AANXAAN – 5(10) frames DS emu Romscout – 6(12) frames DS Diagon – 7(14) frames 3DS flashcart Strizer – 8(16) frames 3DS flashcart
Loading before entering Pinnacle AANXAAN – 5(10) frames DS emu Romscout – 6(12) frames DS Diagon – 6(12) frames 3DS flashcart Strizer – 7(14) frames 3DS flashcart
Loading before reentering Demon Guest House AANXAAN – 7(14) frames DS emu Romscout – 8(16) frames DS Diagon – 9(18) frames 3DS flashcart Strizer – 10(20) frames 3DS flashcart
Loading before entering Garden of Madness AANXAAN – 6(12) frames DS emu Romscout – 8(16) frames DS Diagon – 8(16) frames 3DS flashcart Strizer – 9(18) frames 3DS flashcart
Loading before entering The Dark Chapel AANXAAN – 6(12) frames DS emu Romscout – 9(18) frames DS Diagon – 9(18) frames 3DS flashcart Strizer – 9(18) frames 3DS flashcart
Loading before entering Condemned Tower AANXAAN – 6(12) frames DS emu Romscout – 8(16) frames DS Diagon – 9(18) frames 3DS flashcart Strizer – 9(18) frames 3DS flashcart
Loading before cutscene with Julius in Condemned Tower AANXAAN – 3(6) frames DS emu Romscout – 4(8) frames DS Diagon – 4(8) frames 3DS flashcart Strizer – 4(8) frames 3DS flashcart
Loading after softresetring before doing boss rush up to the frame where “Licensed by Nintendo” screen starts appearing AANXAAN – 11(22) frames DS emu Romscout – 16(32) frames DS Diagon – 17(34) frames 3DS flashcart Strizer – 19(38) frames 3DS flashcart
Loading before entering Menace Fight (full white screen time) AANXAAN – 10(20) frames DS emu Romscout – 11(22) frames DS Diagon – 12(24) frames 3DS flashcart Strizer – 13(26) frames 3DS flashcart As you can see, flashcart NEVER loads faster but rather slower half of the times. Also sometimes it has lag spikes which cost around 2 seconds (may both not happen or happen few times during the run). If you really want to differentiate 3DS flashcart runs with GBA slot I suggest adding third option for GBA slot - emulated GBA. That makes much more sense than marking console as emulated while it is not.
