Has anyone tried out the switch version that comes with the physical copy of Asha In Monster World for switch? Would we know if it is a rerelease of the WiiVC or another port?

Hello,

My name is FightsWithFish and I am interested in beginning to speed run the Phantasy Star series starting with the original. They always say check with the community about the use of emulators therefore, that is what I am doing with this thread. It appears that, if I understand it correctly, the website indicates that most people use the Master System however, I do not feel like forking out the cash for the system and cart. Would Fusion be acceptable for speed running? If not then what emulator or solution do you suggest.

I also see these cool overlays that have timers, tracks, section of game etc. and I'd like to use these tools to start running.

By the by I plan to be an active member because Phantasy Star II was the game that brought me to a new realization of what a game is and is responsible for basically every game I ever played after. I have played all of the Phantasy Star series except the text adventures and fan made PS II and the Japanese only releases.

edit

I have decided to start with Ages first. But I am still curious because I want to run the other Phantasy Stars as well.
