We went ahead and made the split between categories for quite a few reasons between the versions.

N64 is simply slower than the NSO version, when it comes to load times so it's obvious we'll be getting better runs on the NSO. However, the NSO may have loading issues and some towers may have different load screens which can alter the cycles so RNG on cycles is a bit worse on the NSO. Not to mention the input lag that the NSO version comes with.

So with this, it gave us a pretty good reason to split the two categories. The run times will be different between the runs.

The differences may be viewed in a video i made awhile ago.
