Hi,

I'm Peter O'Hanlon (Tongara), and I own Clockwork Knight.com.

Just wondered if we could add an emulator category to the page? I no longer own a physical Sega Saturn, and I've been informed that emulator submissions won't be accepted into the main category, so I think an emulator category is an absolute must for myself and other people in my position.

Thank you.

Agreed! Would be great to have.

Sure, I can do that.

Thank you, it's appreciated!

BTW, I was told the reason emulator runs were not previously allowed was due to an supposed quicker loading time on emulators for the game vs hardware. Any more info on that?

That was my observation in the past. An emulator would about half a second on each level transition (double when going to roulette) compared with the hardware I tested with. If you want to dig deeper, it will be very important to record what emulator you are using (there is quite a bit of variation in emulation quality).

I also am very aware that age and condition of the hardware makes loading time on a real Saturn somewhat inconsistent, too :( Every few hours when doing runs I would get a weird extra-long load of like 20 seconds of a black screen.
