Massachusetts, USAHappy first forum post!
Thanks for bringing this up, Squilibob! I had wonderings about it but have found conflicting reports on loading times from the research I was doing online.
I found a few pages that stated that Satitator in particular was supposed to have identical loading times to optical media due to the specific programing around its emulation. I've also read the opposite, though, that it had faster loading times.
I think the aging hardware is also going to come into play here, too. My US Model 2 Saturn has been very lightly used and has been in storage for a long time. The optical drive isn't worn out yet. But I would assume as the drives succumb to wear and tear, loading times could be affected.
I would be fine with calculating runs without loading times, and would also be open to any other suggestions thereof. Could this be programmed into an autosplitter script? I know we talked briefly about autosplitters during one of my streams, but I know next to nothing about them.
Thanks again for bringing this issue to light!

Thanks for the welcome! Mainly Sega games, I think. I have a pretty extensive collection of Genesis and Dreamcast games. Looking forward to playing them again.
Hi all! I am a long time watcher first time runner... still learning the ropes of OBS and streaming on Twitch.
I'm an English teacher so I love books.... and all things Sega.
Looking forward to connecting with this community!
Hi all! I am still learning the ropes of running and streaming and have been streaming for a few weeks using the Genesis Fusion Emulator. I wanted to play on actual hardware eventually so I now currently have a setup with my Sega Genesis with the video going to both a CRT and OBS through a GV-USB2. I have a small amount of lag in the signal on OBS of about 30ms or so (although I am not certain of the amount of time).
My question is if I am going to use Livesplit while streaming won't there be a discrepancy in the video since I'll be making the splits while playing on my CRT television?
I've tried to find some tutorials but none of them seem to acknowledge the lag between the CRT and what is being captured in OBS.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
