Bristol, EnglandThe rules are pretty vague on PSP emulators, but until you receive a response I would recommend playing Spyro 3 on a ps1 emulator, because the rules currently state that epsxe is the only emulator allowed, but you may get a response from a moderator verifying if that can change to accommodate PSP emulators.
PAL Version of spyro 2 has slower load times by ~1minute as well as a movement speed slightly slower than that of ntsc. There are also a few things that PAL version cannot do in runs that ntsc can (for example an out of bounds in Collosus). But overall NTSC is the way to go. However PAL jump height is slightly higher but nothing significant enough to make it better than NTSC.
Hey bud just to let you know this isn't really the place to introduce yourself. Grats on your first PB though, if you wanna introduce yourself try watching some crash runners on twitch and getting to know people. good luck with your future runs
ok
I would first try using another ISO/Rom of the game and test these exact same things. I'm not sure if any of these issues have been encountered before.

Also, which emulator do you use?
I understand, I just wanted to share my opinion that I don't think there should be any changes. :)
What are wrong with our current leaderboard mods? It shouldn't really matter who moderates the game seeing as everyone who already does are fairly game specific as well as being active. Our current leaderboard mods haven't given me any reason to think they should be changed.
On an unrelated note, what is the rule in ng+ attempts using savestates?
Yea I have made a personal decision to submit any time better than Vino's current time rather than my current time.
Im pretty sure the particular savestate was used twice because I remember saving over my previous one (after getting heishin lag as i didn't want it to happen again).
Even if it isn't, it's still ridiculous
The rule wasn't shown as strictly not allowed, I only found this out after mergy told me. Until then I thought this 'advantage' that you claim was just a rare occurence. However, the particular savestate I used for the run was only used twice. Despite the fact that I said the decks were similar that was only a handful of cards, mostly based on the first hand which featured 4 from the previous. Even without savestates you can recieve similar decks! If we are saying that decks change on a frame by frame basis then I did not recieve any advantage because there was a gap between the gap in which I selected my decks, I have shown the stats (from rewatching the broadcast) here: http://pastebin.com/ZyQuJaqE
Now I will continue to run this category, without savestates. I believe seeing as my record only gained an advantage in reset time in the long run that it should stand, however it's sort of a clash seeing as many runners have differing opinions. I personally think no harm no foul. Even if from now on savestates are on 100% lockdown due to what I said about gaining no advantage.
For anyone who disagree's with the record. Keep in mind Vino, Saboom and I will all most likely be running the category! As well as many others. The record may not stand long at all.
Reminder that even though I used a savestate to reset I have alraedy proven that the deck's were different in every usage quite significantly. I was also unaware of the communities opinions on savestates at the time.
The community for Jersey Devil hasn't really started yet. Me and my friend, Alexmandi were planning on routing the game and we'll be sure to talk to Zopha_. In terms of running the game, there are 3 ways of going about it we are familiar with. Being Any% (to be found), All Levels and 100%. However there is no real guide on how to run as of yet. I think a good way about all levels would be to check out alexmandi213's twitch and look for his all levels in 3:xx:xx. Sorry if this didn't help you.
