Not so difficult in the end, but the Peixoto patch is more complicated to set up, than the regular patches. Gotta still wait for that update from Peixoto to get the controllers working.

Seems like a bunch of us got the same idea at the same time! Was going to get this setup myself, spent the last two weeks getting a written guide going but haven't gotten around to recording a run yet; glad to see someone got this going. I'm going to be submitting my current written guide for the PS1 to the Guides section based on the routing I've done. Feel free to leave any suggestions, should have a run on here shortly!

Edit: If I could put forth one suggestion for the leaderboard, it would be to split the PC/PS1 categories (I.E. have PS1 Any % and PC Any%). Since the game only has Any%, it would still only leave two sections versus a game like RE1 where it has a half dozen consoles with a half dozen subcategories each which can become a mess. If it was just down to loading, I'd say not bother, but there are a few gameplay/enemy differences that alter the routes between them so it may be worth thinking about and, again, with only two sections, it wouldn't be a huge split or mess.

PS1 has less enemies in some areas and it also has glitch that you can shoot thru walls, so those make it different for sure. Split point gotta be still figured out.

Split point as in starting and final splits?

Personally, I think starting the timer when you hit new game is fine as most RTA timers do this, but I think the final split should be changed to after you flip the switch at the end instead of waiting for the final FMV.

Yeayea, the final split is at hitting the switch. But I was thinking that does there need to be more splits between start and end ?

That all comes down to personal preference. All the site cares about is how long it took you to beat from beginning to end or whatever is being judged for the category you're running; any splits in the middle like you see on Livesplit are a runner's preference so they can see how "on pace" they are with their personal best time. Some have only a beginning/ending split, some have a few splits in between, and some have many splits to help jog their memory during a run (I tend to do a bit of both of these depending on the game).

i mean, my runs have been after you flip the switch, at that point you no longer have control and are in a cutscene, eventually that scene does change to an FMV
