Why can't we have time w/ w/out loads? Wouldn't that solve the emu and VC problem?

1. What do you mean this is RTA? NSMBDS uses RTA timing too. All the games use RTA timing. Load times have absolutely nothing to do with RTA or SDA. 

2. I never wanted to be mod; I just wanted an answer to the solution, and I found one. Dolphin can be reconfigured for significantly less lag. I got what I want, and I care about nothing else. Look, no matter what we do with emu, the load time is always going to be longer than console, and I don't see any point of banning emu. The thing y'all really have to worry about is VC. The NSMBDS community retimed VC runs and separated the load times, which is something I don't see any point of not doing for NSMBW VC. The DS emu has faster loading times, but Dolphin has longer load times, so whoever runs on emu will have to take a disadv. All y'all are doing is isolating potentially skilled runners. 

3. As I said, isolating a community brings it no good. I see +kwaniza as a very good runner who can contribute to this community, and you just told him to get out. How would that make you feel if you were him? Yes, I've been sharing a few tricks, but these are really minor and don't really matter. How about I tell you I'm very close to finding a set up for switch skip in world 3? That would save a few minutes, wouldn't it? Well, if I find it, I'm going to keep it to myself. I don't feel welcome in this community and there's no need for me to contribute to a community where people like you reject me.

4. Here's a fact: there are a lot of nice people in this community. Don't get me wrong; I like this community and most of the members, but not people like you. Not everyone is trying to isolate this community; only people like you are. I don't know what made you have so much against me, but since you do, I'll clarify how you're making me feel. 

5. I'm not saying any of the suggestions have to be applied; I don't care if they are. I'm putting them there for your own good. Even if you allow emu, I'm probably still not going to run this game. NewerDS is close to release and I'll be most likely practicing NSMBDS instead of worrying about a game I'm so not welcomed to run. You might not see me ever again here; but I'm just saying, maybe if you take my advice, this community will be more prosperous than it is now.

1. Yeah, sure, what if I get a new WR? I know, very not likely judging from how terrible I am, but what if I do? Of course, the answer is "it will not be regarded as a new WR."

2. Alright, what if I'm 3 years old? You never know. Plus it's a fact, he only verified it later because if he didn't, I would have a legitimate reason to chop off his mod.

3. OK, you have something against me. What do you have against kwaniza? Having something against an individual is no explanation for banning VC or emu. I'm looking for a technical explanation why emu is banned although it takes an automatic disadvantage and why you won't retime VC runs like NSMBDS. I'm not just speaking for myself here.

1. Alright, I'll take it, although you already told me. 

2. Now tell me what's with the VC stuff. Look, if you really don't want to retime VC runs, why not leave it to me. Give me a VC run and I'll do the retime for you. I don't have a console with me so I don't have a sample here. Again, I'm not just speaking for myself. 

3. And what's with emu? We all know Dolphin has slower loads, and I didn't say we need to retime these. There's no point to ban emu; in fact, I think NSMBDS has a better reason to ban emu than NSMBW does, but they still took the time to retime emu runs. In your case, you don't even need to retime emu runs.

Alright, Stache, if you wish to isolate your community, go a head. I can't stop you. All I'm trying to do is make this community better, but if you don't want it to be, that's totally ok. It's not my community to worry about. Now I have to go prepare for NewerDS.

The reason we don't retime loads is because different wiis load slower/faster, which means you would basically need to retime every load zone for every single run for an accurate comparison. If you were removing loads altogether, you would face the same problem in addition to the fact the 5-3 is faster then 5-2 solely due to skipping load times. Cutting out loads would remove that aspect of the routing and real time optimization.
