I was thinking a lot about the PS1 emulator, because its behavior and loading are inaccurate or slow. There are emulators that favor you regarding the loading screens and frame rate (depends on the emulator, version and your PC) which takes a big advantage and leaving the original console aside. I made a comparison video of the versions so you can get a sense that an emulator has its peculiarities and favors a lot in loadings.

The main reason why I leave a specific emulator on this learerboard is because it doesn't let people feel wronged, because you can't get WR because of loadings screens and I'm thinking of creating a "Time without loads" to make it more consistent and focuses on the runner's skill and luck.

My conclusions are:

• It is impossible for an emulator to run on the same properties as a real console because it has its own hardware while the emulator has or may have a huge variety of configurations related to textures, loading screens and this moves the speedruns community a lot, prohibit emulators, specify their versions in mandatory emulators or even ban the learedboard emulator altogether and accept only in the original way or for backward compatibility between consoles.

P.S. Read the rules before thinking about speeding a certain game.
