Today I made a test Run for the PAL Version on the Duckstation. After the first 2 Levels I was at least one minute behind Damos run, despite being faster at least 35 sec on the Levels. PS2 > PS1 (emulated). So I thought after also running other games why not use the In-Game Time. I will progress that. We only use the Time in the Levels, so even the character selection doesn't count. If you restart a level this time will still be added of course (like Damo in the spiders nest & RingtailRider in The Lair of the Rockwhale) on top.

If anyone is interested, in the difference I will up my PAL-Run as soon as I can and you will see the difference in the RTA-Time. So I hope your on board with this, the lonely soul, which is reading this ;)
