I noticed that on my machine (Alpine Linux 3.17), the game runs about 3-5% faster if FCEUX was built using GLVND instead of "legacy" OpenGL. Sounds small but it'll really do something on warpless runs.

Can other runners who use Linux try building it and see if the game runs any faster, please? I hope there isn't any problem and it's just my PC doing crazy things.

edit. I've only tried it on version 2.3.0 and 2.4.0 of the emulator. I'm tesing it with newer versions now.

Should a IPS patcher made (specifically) for *BSD/Linux, like kylon's Lipx be included in the Resources page, as some speedrunners find it difficult to patch IPS files on their non-Windows machine?

So, can I just use any version of Mesen before Run Ahead was added (in build 0.9.9 - https://github.com/SourMesen/Mesen/releases ), like 0.9.8 or 0.9.7 and don't get banned for using the unaccepted emulator ?
