I was recently asked by a Japanese speedrunner if VsyncPatch is allowed in order to run at 60 fps and to reduce input delay. The following runs, which is written "VsyncPatch使用" (VsyncPatch is used) in the video description, have been registered. So can I assume that is allowed?

Also, how about other patches?
- English patch seems to be allowed as USA region.
- EoSD retexture patch seems to be not allowed according to this thread: https://www.speedrun.com/eosd/thread/th4ln
Vsync would be allowed, since the standard for runs is 60 FPS. English patch is fine. I presume the difference between English and Japanese text is miniscule when using the skip function. I would also agree with the verdict of that post regarding the EoSD retexture patch. If there was a version without the hitbox, that would be fine.
Thank you Waveracer. I'll tell him that VsyncPatch is allowed on SRC. Also, thank you for your view about English Patch and EoSD retexture (hitbox) patch.
