i just had a thought that would solve the problem with emu loading times compared to consol!!!!!!! how about there is an extra colum in the leaderboard (not a new category) that said game time? so thers Game time which is without loads and then real time witch is with loads? ive seen other games have it so why not crash 2? thx fr answers but dont go crazy about this it was just an idea and i dont care if it dosnt happen i would just like to see equality :)

That kind of solution was already brought up a while ago and there have been some debated already. But thanks for the contribution anyway.

oh i havnt been speedrunning crash 2 for long :) didnt know it had already been brought up but anyways glad i could bring it up again XD

PSX emulators should never be allowed on speedrunning, because the emulate is not accurate; consequently, remove loads on emulator is not a good idea. If we still accept emulator (most of time, they have more advatages than console in-game), FDS have to be allowed, then console gamers can still win.

This point is still NOT fair for who haven't a PS2 FDS to play. Since it is a PSX game, it should be played on a PS1, and not runned on a console that read a game on a speed that it was not programmed to support (this is the reason of why CTR crashes a lot while useing FDS).

Oh shut the hell up TheRedhotbr with your "never be allowed on speedrunning" garbage.

Anyways, I am already redoing this one again and do it in the same way as Spyro 2

And now to say "screw you" to you TheRedhotbr.

Top 4: PSP FDS PS2 FDS psxfin v1.13 pcsx-rr

Did you just mention an emulator no one uses and a TAS emulator? Yes I did.

Why did you single out those two out of all the other emulators? psxfin and pcsx-rr came 1st and 2nd out of the emulators in multi-comparison in terms of load times.

pcsx-rr didn't finish in that. Why in the world are you using it? It's DNF due to the audio plugin that was used, TAS sound plugin / Pete's MIDAS. Changing it to P.E.Op.S. or Eternal fixes this issue. Future Reference: TAS / MIDAS both actually fail at the very end too. When you defeat Cortex, you get soft-locked there.

Bios used? PAL obviously. I'm not going to use NTSC bios just to get the upper hand.

Are you talking to yourself? Yes...

And now the words which are required to complete this, which I have said at the start which is what I was going to say. Screw you TheRedhotbr. ¤Fiesta erupts behind him¤

Nice; however, why the hell did you list load differences while I was talking about IN GAME differences?

If you didn't get what I said, I can repeat: Emulators should not be allowed on speedrunning because it is faster than on console while IN GAME, so remove loads will not be fair for CONSOLE GAMERS because everyone will move to emulator, since it has no lag at all (if you think I am wrong, just back in the past when no one used FDS, but everything was done on emulator :). This is why I defend FDS, and just because of it.

In my opinion, emulators have to be banned because:

¤ It is easy to fake (if you know anything on CTR history, you know about FernandoMingroni and the shit he did faking times using PSXfin).

¤ Faster than console (w/o loads): almost no lag. On ePSXe, Seb said that SGs are faster (CTR), so it changes the gameplay by not being accurate. if you don't know who is Seb, I'll show you: one of the best players of CTR, the first one to complete LinkZer's SC on a real lap.

¤ The most accurate emulator (THAT I KNOW, I can be wrong) done is PSXJin, and it can't even emulate a NTSC jump on CTR (look at my TAS to compare).

First of all, calm down. I actually have ZERO respect of you, and if you think that I am an unknow guy, I am not. See my ctr4ever, what I have done on the community and you'll realize that you're not talking with someone that doesn't give a shit on speedrunning. Feel free to reply it, I can still continue this discussion. However, If you wanna continue acting like a 5-years-old and repeting "Screw you TheRedhotbr up" be happy with that, then I'll ignore you. If I am wrong, proove me it, but be good instead of a dick.

Cool, I don't care. We're on the topic about a long time, not this short single level bullshit. And if I recall correctly. Crash 2 speedrunners don't have any IL speedruns.

Emulator speedrunners get a higher disadvantage because of this, you want to make them have a chance you give them the chance. But not for IL, for IL they'll have to use something else.

Oh, oh, oh. Aren't we talking about Crash 2 here and not a completely different game here? YES. Stop talking about CTR when you're meant to be talking about Crash 2. CTR has completely different shit in terms of gameplay and load times, and different emulators would have to be used for that.

I don't care that you have no respect for me. [quote=TheRedhotbr]and if you think that I am an unknow guy, I am not.[/quote] You wanna hear a fun fact about me. I don't who you are or who anyone else is. I go after anyone.

You get pissed off quite easily and talk about irreverent stuff. Like seriously. CTR? Common man you're in a Crash 2 thread. Talk about Crash 2 stuff.

Also, before I forget. PSXjin is faster than pcsx-rr when pcsx-rr gets corrected to be a little more legitimate. It basically has psxfin style of IL.

Cool. Now remove the loads. What do we have? Every IL in a row + warp room moves. Thats why I said the IL thing.

"Oh, oh, oh. Aren't we talking about Crash 2 here and not a completely different game here? YES. Stop talking about CTR when you're meant to be talking about Crash 2. CTR has completely different shit in terms of gameplay and load times, and different emulators would have to be used for that. "

Are we not talking about the emulator differences as well? On the first comment, what I said is that emulators should not be allowed on SPEEDRUNNING at all, and not only on Crash 2. Thats why I gave CTR as an example (I can go further here if you want).

You've proved my point. You only care about the minor thing and not the full picture. Thanks.

Also, future reference. To quote you do this: <quote=username>Quote</quote> change the <> to square brackets.
