Just wanted to say, using an autosplitter is for lazy people that doesn't want to press the input to split time manually then check your VoD run to frame count your exact PB time or if you get a WR time. Using that program for only Emulator is an unfair and has an advantage over everything since there is no use for the consoles. I'm not saying just for Batman: The video game. I'm saying for the all of the games. I much rather manually split it when I'm running a game or two by using my own finger on the Numpad or using my foot on the pedal to split the time. Instead of relying too much using a bot to split it for you (not matter how bad it can go when it's acting weird).
Guys, i don't see nothing wrong with autosplitter. My opinion is that if you really have a skill, you won't resent about it and just get WR with or without autosplitter, PC/console.
If you're so sure, get WR with autosplitter. I guess, It is not so easy. Except I can speak like this too ;)
Chambers, a question:
At what point is what you're doing equally more "honourable" than cheating? Going through 10+ different NES consoles to find the best aligned PPU while down talking every emulator user who a majority probably don't even care about this stuff. The average emulator user isn't some demon who will presumably cheat 100% of the time. I get emulators can do things that manually, console users can't, but this isn't the same as the Technodrome and not comparable.
The thing about Batman is everyone checks their timer to understand pace, autosplitter or not. I check my timer manually to understand the hopper patterns in 3-1, 3-2, 4-1, and the act 1 and 2 bosses. I do all this manually. Everyone does who can run this at a competitive level.
What sense does it make to ban an autosplitter which does exactly the same thing automatically?
[edit]: That's not to say yes, allow RAM watch or something for emulator users.
But automatic splitters in this case would yield no advantage over what people already do manually as realistically whether or not you can tell a pattern is upcoming with certain precision, it's still up to you to execute properly within possibly less than 3 tenths of a second.
[editx2]: I think even the autosplitter (haven't tried it myself) works on console as well, so it's not like emulator users possibly even have an inherent advantage over console users here.
