Loadings Comparison
2 years ago
ParĂ¡, Brazil

After playing so much I decided to share these loadings tests of some emulators/old versions.

Maybe these can't be the same loadings as your emulator because of my configuration, but it is interesting to know that the comparisons are quite different.

Emulator settings

EMU ePSXe X.Y.Z and more emulators and consoles - PS1 settings

Console/Emulators - Times

In some versions the music has delays, which makes it difficult to do the commands and has a lot of delay. So I will discard some versions.

pSXfin v1.13 - 0:09.650
ePSXe v1.5.2 - 0:09.800
PSXjin v2.0.2 - 0:09.900
ePSXe v1.7.0 - 0:10.150
ePSXe v1.6.0 - 0:10.200
ePSXe v1.9.25 - 0:10.300
ePSXe v1.8.0 - 0:10.700
ePSXe v1.9.0 - 0:10.850
Duckstation - 0:11.900
ePSXe v2.0.0 - 0:11.900
ePSXe v2.0.5 - 0:11.900

As in the same example in Bust a Groove 2 https://www.speedrun.com/bust_a_groove_2/thread/46ud1 it has a certain delay when you finish a song, when "Heat Wins!" appears in which the character has an animation that you wait for longer, I don't know if this depends on the character, but I noticed this delay analyzing the first place run with my video;
And in all the stages there is this delay when the music starts.

Note: when you win you have a celebration animation, and I noticed that they don't have the same animation time as analyzed in this video below, the difference is a few thousandths and with FeverTime or not.

Conclusion

All runners can beat the same time and the best version for you to be playing this game is pSXfin v1.13.
