Still curious to see a speedrun of this game one day.

Thank you.

By the way i don't see how this would be less legit than the hundred of people who submit runs without video proof on this leaderboard, hum.

The emulator is very accurate 1 year later and it runs perfectly at 60 FPS for this game at least, except for some textures rendering problems. No reason to not accept it now.

I was thinking about running it maybe on PS3 i got the english PAL version. It's cool to run on real hardware but annoying at same time, maybe i should just use the NTSC version on emulator.

Does the PAL version is as fast as the NTSC ?

I don't know a lot of softwares who can lock FPS, but there is Fraps even if it's pretty old. I'm guessing it's caused by FPS that could also be hardware, i know that some recent processors speed up some old games sometimes.

The game have to be lock at 60 FPS maximum, above that it will break the game speed and also the in game timer.

Example :

For example why in the category Any% no bug jump there is a sub category "glitchless" which is empty and next to it a "segmented" one whith one runner using a lot of glitch for go through walls and other stuff ? Not clear to me.

Nothing is clear in this leaderboard. I wonder why it needs 50 category bug jump, no bug jumps, no framerate blabla, segmented ect. Creating two categories bug allowed/totally glitchless will make more sense.

So basically what is the "better than glitchless" category, you don't have the right to use any glitch/bug ? If it's that i like it.

If anyone ever find one, you can say it here. I didn't find any savegame folder so this must be hidden in the registry somewhere.

The original mode from the PS1 and the X68000 game are supposed to be exactly the same in gameplay terms, but after testing i can say it is not the case many ennemy placements who are normally supposed to be fixed are different between both version. I will do a video to show a few of them.

Video differences in level 1 :

0:08 Loadings times for PS1
0:38 Early bat for X68000
0:48 Faster panther for X68000
1:25 Different spawns of fishmans for X68000
1:56 Second bat come faster for X68000
2:09 The eye attack in a different direction and is much faster for X68000
2:27 The boss spawn faster for X68000
2:37 The energy ball of the boss appear faster and float for a shorter time for X68000

I will add the category for the psp then i prefer it has it's own because the gameplay looks quite different it's been ported by Bugbear Entertainment.

Does anyone have infos on how many tracks have the PSP version and does they have the same name that the actual versions ? I'm asking that mainly for the level leadeboard.

Maybe i can finally it's not as complicated as i thought, i will try to set the leaderboard available before the end of the week.

Yes i was thinking about adding it but not this way because in the end all car have different specs anyway and that will make too much categories for time trial, i will add a variable where you can select the car that you used so in the end people will have to use the fastest one to get the first place. Seems good ?

Runs must be done on the last official patch of the game (version 3.4) + the single player mod (version 1.1b).
Do not use cheats, scripts, the console or anything who modify the code of the game to give an unfair advantage all these things are banned.
The speed of the game has to be the default one, any voluntary alteration or caused by your computer specs will not be tolerated.
Do not hide your health hud with a logo or overlay.
You need to show the ending screen of the mission who indicate your time, ingame timer is used for level leaderboard.

This bug could happen on the original ps1 and there is no fix for it, probably because of the slow cd rom reader. Same on epsxe emu which is pretty bad in general for this game and seems to emulate this bug. From what i have see it doesn't happen on PS2 and PS3.

Yes i think it will make more sense to merge it to the same leaderboard and have the choice of the platform. Also tried the PAL version which is a bit slower, but i guess people who want to run the game seriously will use USA/JAP version.
