What's the best version for speedrunning?

I just finished the game to 100% on PJ64 1.7 (the PC version crashes on some levels and I can't finish the game) and I want to speedrun it. What's the fastest version for speedruns between N64 and PS1? PS2 and GCN are excluded because I don't have those.

The PS1 and N64 version differ so much that they are considered entirely different games, so beware of that.

That being said, the PS1 version is faster to speedrun than N64.

Have you tried to use our patcher on your PC game? Maybe it helps with the crashes

I have tried the patcher but the game crashes after exiting First Avenue. I found an old XP laptop and I use that when I need the PC version.

We already have a forum post discussing the best version of the game for speedrunning called "N64 PC DC any% and 100%", that was started by me 8 months ago.

A little tldr: PC/N64/DC: PC has by far the fastest time with its loads and higher frame rate than the other games. N64 has some good time save over the PC version due to its numerous bugs that can shave minutes off of both any% and 100%. DC isnt nearly as fast as either

PS1 is completely different from all other versions of the game. Its best on PS2.

PS2 vs GC hasnt quite been determined yet but in theory the digital copy you can buy on PS3 should be the fastest version of the game.

There are banned emus and generally I would not recommend running them because of how inconsistent and buggy it can be vs the normal games. if you want to see what emus are allowed Ghostsenpai made a post when he become head mod announcing it and I believe its written in some of the rules.

I'd suggest working out your pc version with us on the discord. Im sure we can get it to work for you.
