Gap between PSP and Emu & RTA vs IGT

keep PC RTA and make PSN/emu/psp IGT with their own category I don't see a problem with this as Nazzareno said if anyone wanted to try and get WR using a emu its impossible to do so without buying/using a psp, Also remove the auto splitter from resources tab since using it on pc will just get your run rejected FeelsBadMan

I agree that splitting the PSP and Emu runs should be done. Nothing else really affects me so I shouldn't have my say on anything else but as a newcomer to running games the PSP/Emu divide is disheartening. Literally splitting these categories would solve a lot of problems which clearly exist in this community.

Wow... What a discussion! Guys, do you know what? Have you seen Crash Bash leaderboards? Well, take for example "Any% 2 players" category. There is possible PS2, Emu, PS... Well, PS2 could work much faster than PS Emu... This nonsense of incomparability exists at least 5 years there... AT LEAST...

If we can do nothing we must to discuss this with "GOD" moderators... BUT... Ahahah, I think everything we could think about has been used long time ago...

So, there is two solutions...

First – calm down and live further. Second – make a gamers' collaboration and fight with "big bosses" using our united opinion... But I might be sure this alternative was also used...

@Dimension_Bomber, overwriting RTA with IGT is still a viable solution, at least in my opinion. Keeping things like they are now means killing the Emu leaderboard.

@Nazzareno @Dimension_Bomber ...Potentially also killing the PSP part of the same leaderboard in the future if people start using settings and plugins for emulators to gain RTA over PSP and other official and equal for everyone console (PSVITA,PSTV,PS3). This is particularly true with the version 1.8 of ePSXe with particular plugins and graphic settings which is used to gain RTA time even under PSP. See the Parasite Eve 2 community for example where PS Emu (Legacy) runs are faster than PSP and PSN in general. Everyone was using ePSXe 1.8 with ever changing plugins and settings to cut corners.

The whole nonsense category PSP/Emu/PSN is dead because of the ego of one moderator who doesn't listen the community.

In the same category you have all different Emulators with all different settings and all different plugins in all different machines with different graphic cards VS. same for everyone consoles with official digital copy equal to everyone with setting equals to everyone. Absolutely logical!

P.S. My PSTV is currently not even allowed in the leaderboard for mysterious reasons... All fine! The board is in good hands of Mr. "I'm moderating this leadearboard since 6+ year" and another moderator that never run the game and seemingly inactive.

We also have a video comparison, just in case anyone needs more proof of the gap between PSP and emulator:

Hmmm aighty !! Soooo I read some posts here and there, and I don't really like to involve myself with forums because it is a lot of work and drama most of the times, but as I love this game and have run it a lot back in the days, I think I should put my piece of mind here, everything seems to be easily fixable by adding a "variable" under edit game and add Emulator as its own thing, I think most runners here would agree, and that is what you guys pretty much asking right? Regarding times I own a PSP 3000 and I ran this game on it back then but idk where my run went and I remember the game been super slow , but emulators times even if it is close to it should not be on the same board as PSP or PSTV Vita or whatever, I mean the people just want to run the game and have fun and compete with each other to be honest, and trying to compete against a psp or vita or pstv that it is a pain in the arse to stream and capture seems kinda weird to me, at the end of everything Gemini Patch for Dino crisis 2 PC should come out soon and that is where most people will be going but until then you got my vote to just split Emulator to its own thing, NOWWW regarding which emulator, emulators are SUPER sketch EPSXE the most of them all, it will run games faster with a specific version (1.8) with a specific video plug in and video settings on it, which is why we split it on parasite eve 2 and thinking on doing it on countdown vampires, people can compete on that as it is a pain to just show what settings people are running on , what we did now is running emu on DUCKSTATION which has times super close to console itself, and changing your resolution to 1080p or 4k or whatever it won't affect your times, so anyone can compete on it on a same ground, psjin might load the game faster and no sketch settings to boost your time? then again this is all community testing. @666Deadhunter if ya need an extra hand , dude add me as mod and I'll add the variable if you want me to it is not a huge deal, I don't know how active Dodi is but there it is. End of my 1000 word essay =) .

@666Deadhunter, @MisterDodi, we are all still waiting for an answer here. It's not the first time a thread ends up with you ghosting and it is not funny.
