there is no conversion for ntsc to pal since the loading times and lag behave different i think but you can submit PAL runs to the Category Extension leaderboards in that case
hi, i found out, that render has a significant advantage over all versions, idk if its because of a bug but the game seems to run normally at 63 fps, where as vanilla runs at 60. this can be fixed with a fps lock but it would also ultimately mess up the categories. comparison video is on a youtube channel, am I allowed to post links? also i didnt test this for 30fps (no 60fps patch basically), so I am not aware, if the advantage is so significant because of the patch
EDIT: i realized, I ran on master instead of 96 alpha. the load times on alpha are slower than on vanilla, master was just as fast as vanilla (in case of load times only). the fps lock is still the same at 63, so render is still the fastest version in that case.
