So I recently decided to give Twisted Metal 2 a shot, and spent about 3 hours seeing what I could do on a pretty easy category before deciding whether I wanted to dive deeper into this game. I felt like I had a decent run and got 4th place and went to compare to WR to see what I could've done better..

After comparing vs WR I found that right off the bat before getting to make an input I had already lost 5 seconds.

I quickly realized where I lost most of my time..

Opening Loading WR 12.86 PB 18.20 +5.34 End of Los Angeles WR 21.83 PB 28.04 +6.21 End of Moscow WR 23.48 PB 30.14 +6.66 End of Paris WR 23.57 PB 29:85 +6.28 End of Amazonia WR 23.40 PB 30.25 +6.85 End of New York WR 23.20 PB 30.52 +7.32 End of Antarctica WR 24.43 PB 31.88 +7.45 End of Holland WR 24.70 PB 32.10 +7.40 End of Hong Kong WR 8.87 PB 11.29 +2.42 End of Dark Tooth WR 10.53 PB 11.08 +0.55

As a result I lost +56.48 seconds throughout the run simply from loads.

So my question is, is emulator fastest? and is that fair to runners that are running the game on official equipment?
