I'm comparing the different versions of Pandemonium for load times because, frankly, I think the PS2 FDS ban is stupid, or at least the given reasoning is. ------------------------- One thing I've noticed is the first loading screen is almost always consistently within the same range, so a good timing measure is to use that. I have played on just about every NTSC Playstation version and can tell you they are pretty different: Fat PS1: loads in 1 complete pass, ending when Nikki is just past the edge of the loading sign from the right. Fat PS2: loads in 1 complete pass, ending when Nikki is past the 'L' from the right.. Fat PS2 (FDS): loads in 0 complete pass, ending when Nikki is about to walk off screen on the right side edge SSlim PS3 (Disk): loads in 1 complete pass, ending when Nikki is under the '...' from the right. SSlim PS3 (VC): loads in 1 complete pass, ending when Nikki is under the '...' from the right. PSP: loads in 1 complete pass, shortly after Nikki comes on screen from the right. PSP (FDS): loads in 2 complete passes, ending when Nikki is under the 'i' from the left. Emulator (from visual only): JP vs NTSC yields no obvious difference; both end in 1 complete pass, when Nikki is under the 'n' from the right. --------------------------------- So from personal testing: PS2 (FDS) >> PSP > PS3 VC ~= PS3 (Disk) > Emulator > PS2 > PS1 >> PSP (FDS). I have no clue what the Sega Saturn, Mobile, Windows, or N-Gage versions run like, but if anyone does know please comment them below. --------------------------------- Conclusion: From this I believe the PS2 FDS ban IS justified, however the reasoning is flawed as many versions are faster than the PS1. |

I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to upload a video of the Saturn version on hardware just to demonstrate load times. |
