Is it allowed?

Hi guys,

I am getting started to running this game soon and have been doing some testing on the differences of how IGT works between PS2 and PS3.

I did a run on my my PS2 (fat scph 39k or something like that) with fast disc speed and then did a run using my PS3 with the disc. My RTA on the on the PS3 run was around 2 minutes slower than the RTA on my PS2 but was still able to PB by about 40 seconds.

I know IGT doesn't count menus and I did my best to do menus fast for both runs. Just found it interesting since loads are counted to IGT, and the RTA is way longer on PS3, how could it have PBd?

Was wondering if anyone would have any insight on how PS3 IGT works compared to PS2. I am using US consoles and US disc.

I have already read through these forums and have seen people talking about IGT and how it works but not between consoles specifically which is why I ask.

Also, I understand there is a duckstation category that times with RTA but I'm specifically looking to do console.

EDIT: I forgot to add that I am aware of the frames being tied to IGT. Would the PS3 being able to run the game better than the PS2 (way less lag) actually make this much of a difference to beat out the what seems to be longer load times on PS3?

Hi all. I plan to run the PC version of this game soon and will be using the new rebirth patch. This might be a dumb question but would like to be sure as it's not in the rules. Can we tab out of this game during a run? Especially during the cutscenes as they are long and plenty of them? Would it be valid with ignore focus at least if not? I know the sound cuts out when tabbed out on that setting but just want to check! Thanks!

Hello all. I just completed my first legit run of RE3 on GameCube and even recorded it. However, after the ending cutscene and right before the radio guy and the mushroom cloud picture, my disc stopped spinning and the error message "GameCube disc could not be read" came on screen. I'm popped the lid, cleaned the disc, out it back in and closed the lid. Seconds later the mushroom cloud picture came up with the radio guy voice, then went to credits and my IGT showed on screen. The question I want to ask is will this void my run? That would really be a shame that I would have to worry about such a thing. It happens very rarely and the first time ever with this game after playing it for weeks lol. Just my luck even more bad RNG. I would appreciate it if anyone can answer :)
