Cartridge vs digital

We really need two separate categories for cartridge or digital. Or a calculator that says how long the run would be if you had a digital copy but your playing on a cartridge. Like if you agree.

A variable is more than enough, just click on "Filter", hover over "Version" and select whichever you want and it will show the best run of the selected version. Essentially the same as categories.

I realize you can do that but by making it 1 leaderboard your not giving credit to the person that has the wr for cartridge. Also you don't know if a 9:45 on cartridge is better than a 9:30 on digital.

A calculator wouldn't work out, because loads can vary, especially the long load at the beginning of the run. Not only that, depending on whether the game is on micro SD card or internal console memory the load times will differ on digital versions.

Also I'm assuming your example is a 4 track category you're talking about? The difference isn't actually 20 seconds for loads on that, it's closer to 5 seconds, give or take.
