About IGT, and ps emulators on pc.

Hi all. I got to say much of stuff like.

I like messed up since i not knew in game time needed to be recorded and it is require a wait for the end game titles to end. But, inspite of it i sure it is still could not do much difference for a fair leaderboards since the IGT time look kind of random, a way off, and just not fair anyway. And between psp and ps emulators on pc, exist a huge time difference of IGT and RTA, and psp got a way better time results, and psp good like time results just totally unreachable by the ps emulator players on pc. Before i did a wr attempt i actually did a lot of research about ps emulators on pc. I got like all ps emulators and did like all tune in options possible. And i now know like complete info about their speed and stuff like it. Certain ps emulators got glitches. Certain ps emulators got a bad graphic. Certain ps emulators require a correct tune in. Certain ps emulators got slow speed and a heavy lag. And a certain ps emulators work good, got okay graphic, and they all got like totally same speed. And if a speed difference exist it is minimal, very hard to note, and i doubt it is exist at all. And since IGT time is all which is count, and since exist ps emulators on pc with a heavy lag, thus i can go for a sly tricky way, and to play by it and to finish the game in like 2 hours time with a heavy lag. Thus i can play like perfect triceratops, perform like a perfect knifing evasion all the time, and stuff like it. And i can do it all easily considering the heavy lag slow motion advantages. And in like a 2 hours long speedrun with slow motion i a way more easily to be able to do like perfect run in like all ways possible since of a slow motion obvious huge advantages. And since IGT time is all which is count. Thus it is all mean the IGT time does not bring a fair play at all. While the IGT time itself even seems like bring random and not fair number too. I sure it is meant to work to measure the stuff accurately, but in reality it is turns out to be like a very not good time measurement.

1st. Almost all ps emulators on pc got like totally same speed, those which is without a heavy lag. And it is seems very fair to get exactly RTA result count and not an IGT, because a lag and a slow RTA speed play can bring a better IGT time. 2nd. IGT time itself look not accurate. And it is totally differs heavily not by the good or bad gameplay speed, like an objective time measurement must to do, but IGT time differs exactly by the change of the platforms, either it is pc, ps, psp, or ps emulators on pc, and time differs by certain stuff which is not related to gameplay speed at all. The IGT time got an obvious huge difference between those platforms and the difference lays exactly in the need to divide each platform from each other, including the need to divide psp from ps emulators on pc. And apart from an obvious difference of IGT time between platforms, the difference of IGT time can be even just a random numbers work of each pc or whatever platform too, or just a random numbers overall, and it is can depend like on whatever, but not on actual good or bad gameplay and speed like. 3rd. It is very easy to trick and to get close to perfect IGT just by getting with a heavy lag and a slow speed emulator.

Thus considering it all i must to say like, for the most fair and best run time leaderboards need to be done an additional division of psp to another category of separated psp, since IGT and RTA results depends on platform very heavily for whatever cause. And a psp and ps emulators got a strong IGT and RTA differences. And psp got a huge better RTA and IGT for whatever cause, which is unreachable for ps emulators pc players. And for the most fair speedrun results need to be done exactly an RTA results, and not an IGT. Since IGT heavily depends on platform. And since IGT does not look like showing time accurately at all. And since like a 2 hours long play run with a heavy lag which is can get close to perfect IGT, and it is easily to be the best run IGT time. And a slow speed run with better IGT, to be better in leaderboards than a quick speed run with better RTA, and it is does not fit to a speedrun definiton at all. And it is just look unfair very much.

Correct me if I'm wrong and misreading what you're saying here, but psp/emu is RTA from the rules, and only BizHawk and Psxf/jin is allowed, presumably for the reasons you mentioned?

I actually do have read the rules, and a moderators had no agreement about the best emulator. The user 666 like was the only strong proponent to enforce the emulator restrictions while other moderators and runners had more like, a free emulators for all talk like. And i myself disagree too to have a limits to certain few emulators, since as far as emulator works, got okay graphic, and without a heavy lags, then it is look okay for me. And i actually did a few runs on few different emulators and the result RTA time was about the same. I even compared the runs itself by sections rooms like, by watching a 2 vids at the same time by different emulators. Since the psp time are thus good and i at first never knew why. Thus i like closely have watched pc emulators runs from leaderboard with my runs, which i did on few different emulators, by comparing same sections rooms runs like, and a runs looked like totally identical which mean the time difference was like none. And then i have seen the psp runs and it is got a huge speedrun time advantage vs like every possible emulator which is ps emulators on pc got. Thus psp obviously does not belong to ps emulators on pc categories, and it never was since psp are a whole another platform and it is being different from ps emulators on pc by all it is got like. And exactly psxjin emulator had a slightly worse graphic, and a more frequent lag than a certain few other emulators which i have tried. Thus i'd said psxjin not the best emulator at all. It is okay the emulator does not have a very ugly graphic, neither it is got glitches, and i approve it too, but still it wasn't been the best emulator for dino crisis 2. The approved emulators does not mean neccessery it is being like the only allowed emulators. And a whole emulator thing just mostly about tune in of options actually. While the name of emulator itself usually does not have a big difference in the end, but just as far as emulator work and without glitches and heavy lag like. The way peoples can manage and to change the options can make from psxjin a whole another looking and working stuff. And a psxjin can be done into a heavy lag glitch run like from start to end, just by setting psxjin on the 'nice' mode in options. Or just by changing the graphic options like. And such thing like actually about any emulator. The lag which can have emulator depends mostly like on the graphic options which can be set and changed like.

And as it for RTA, i wish it was the RTA which must to rule and determine the leaderboards of ps emulators on pc, but by current rules it isn't. And a psp like a very different thing from pc emulators by all it's got and a psp speedrun time are unreachable for ps emulators on pc. And as you may see for yourself, while the 666 like runner tried to limit all players just to psxjin, the 666 like runner himself/herself used a psp which is got zero similarity with psxjin like. I hope it is to be changed. Psp to be put to another category from ps emulators on pc. And a RTA time to count and to be crucial to determine the leaderboard. Thus it is look fair very much.
