I would definitely say psxfin or jin are the closest to original software than the other emus as well as keeping a consistent FPS. I'd have to agree with both Max & becks and vote for psxfin/jin.

Typically I get that message when its not mounted for me but once I mount the Iso its works like a charm. I'll ask around for you and see if anyone else has had that issue if no one else responds to this post.

is the Biohazard iso mounted in your virtual drive?

Can you post screen shots of what your seeing?

Some communities have designated emulators that they recommend for emu runs. As a community we could take a vote or even do some testing and decide which emu runs the game best. Especially if some emus give drastically different times than others. Just so everyone is uniformed when it comes to racing and what not. Just a suggestion though. I rarely run this game anymore but if you guys need help with testing emus and coming up with a primary emulator for these runs, I'm more than happy to help out. Although, we would need a moderator to approve this and edit it into the rules just to make sure its official.

I think its a great idea to discuss this especially since most of the runners run on emu, rarely do I see anyone run this on console. Thanks for bringing it up Max.

Did Dudley ever respond to thread???!? I too am having this issue.

@FurryWulfz true you're absolutely right. The game being as old as it is, its definitely hard to hold 60fps especially in the menus thats something we cannot avoid, however, the Chinese version is just a tad bit smoother and just a bit faster. Menuing and this version overall just seems a lot smoother as appose to its JPN counterpart (unless you're running RE3 JPN in a super small window).

I think separating the categories would be the best option IMO. Is the Chinese RE3 a legitimate copy? Probably not. Would it discourage other future/current runners from running it since its obscure and hard to find? Absolutely. Is the Chinese RE3 probably the most optimized version out? Yes, especially since the JPN version can lag from time to time when menuing and etc. I know the topic is about whether or not this version is legitimate and both sides pose valid arguments in regards to why they should keep the Chinese RE3 version or not, however, I think it'd be best to just have two separate boards to keep both sides appeased. At the end of the day we're all runners who enjoy running some of our favorite games and there are obvious benefits between which version of the game you run, for example, different consoles, pc, etc. Having a separate board can't hurt, only further expand and grow the community in the long run.

Its so weird because the hunters move as though they know where you're going to be next before you even move Dx definitely a run killer :/

Does any one know any strats on how to dodge the hunters efficiently?

Oh snap I didn't notice that. The new layout kinda has me a bit fluster with where everything is at. Thanks for the assist fam. Sorry for asking a silly question like that, when the answer was right in my face :(

Not entirely sure if anyone has brought this up in the past, however, I was wondering why there isn't a Knife Only Any % Speed Run Category? I'm just curious because I've been practicing some Knife Runs on RE2 and wanted to see if the community would also be down for a category like this. :)
