Didn't actually notice i got the slow version of stage 10 i might go redo it now to be honest. i thought it was slow. but didn't really notice because of the -1 minute save on stage 5.
Honestly i just uploaded the run, i didn't know if loading times were included initially and if it would even be accepted because it was on an emulator. and it being put on this section of the speed run wasn't really up to me. i just uploaded it under "gitaroo man any%" since no one really runs this and there isn't a separate section for emulated ones. I'll probably be doing the master mode any% as well, and redo'ing the normal mode any% to try for a faster stage 10. Good luck with your runs :)
Have a good one!
I wasn't sure whether the load times were emulated the same or not. i do appreciate you contacting me as i did watch your speedrun for guidance :) From what it looks like we'd end up with the exact same time if not a second either way without loads. entirely. The only fair way to see the timing would be to remove loading zones from the count. As i don't have a ps2 capture card and don't really plan on buying one just so i can beat gitaroo man for the 600th time xD. The admin has told me however that they have opened a master mode version for speedrun. So i might see you on that soon ;)
