In my opinion, the PS category should be separated on PS1 and PS2. PS2 is loading the DC2 faster than on PS1. If one will make similar runs on PS1 and PS2 then on PS2 will be less IGT than on PS1. So, alas, there are unequal chances.

PSP/Emu category has the same problem, but there is a very small difference. It is possible enough (as for me) make result better on PS1 emulator than on PSP. At the same time there is unable to do it on PS1 (versus PS2).

BUT!! If PS category will be separated on two, than it is needed to replace speedruns on PS1 to the right category.

666DeadHunter, well, OK. I have tried many times but I didn't succeeded in PS category using PS1. I could take only the 6th place in PS section. If I will have a possibility then I will find another DC2 version fo PS1. I have only 2 discs now... Ancient pirate copy with russian language (very good condition but there is unofficial translation) and "new" CD (official US version but is going incredibly slow). I know that IGT only does matter.

Anyway, I will concentrate my power (^_^) on finding a good CD with DC2. Then I will try use all my PP (hello to RPG) to run the game as fast as I can. If there is possible to achieve the 1st, 2nd or 3rd place (using PS1), then there is no need to separate these categories.

P.S. Who else will make this experiment?))

So... Dear 666DeadHunter... Alas, my PAL-console could not work correctly with PAL version of DC2. I have tried a few times, but every time game dies on underwater level (right after first underwater saveroom). Well, OK. On the US version my best result was 01:09:00 (IGT)...

PAL version can be played only if I change the PAL CD to US CD. After appearing a strange music game dies again. And there I change US CD to PAL CD again... And the game finally goes further... But when I insert the "Plug" I need to do the same exchanging... In that case only I can pass the PAL version... And the result is 01:11:00 approximately (the same IGT).

The question is: how did you manage to get result faster than on PS2??? Maximum what I could done with my typical scheme is 01:09:00...
