Hi, so I was going to start doing some ils/all peak race on ps2 emu and I saw some rules about using a emulator. And is there any guide on settings is fine to use? Also is there a 100% save file that can be shared, I did not see any under the resources tab. was going to join the ssx speedrunning discord for some advice but there isn't any channels for me. Thank you!

Are you unable to see any channels at all in the discord? There should be a #ssx3 channel under the game discussion tab. As for settings, you should be able to just use the default settings, though you may need to change the renderer from OpenGL to Direct3d11 hardware, I would not mess with much of anything else for SSX3 other than maybe upscaling the resolution if your computer can handle it. if you game lags with default settings, you may want to try dolphin instead.

As for a save file, there used to be a pal save but the link died so I removed it from the resources. I don't think there is currently any other save available unfortunately.

just got the discord to work, not sure why it wasnt working for me before. as far as the emulator setting i will try it out and thank you for the response and help!
