I planned on doing some runs of Spyro 2 with a MiSTer FPGA. It's a hardware emulator that recently had PSX ported to it, which runs on an FPGA board. It may not run at 100% speed as far as I'm aware of, maybe a tad bit slower. I timed most of the loading screens of Spyro 2 on MiSTer vs PS2, and it seems to be slower than PS2 by about 1-4 seconds depending on the zone.

I figured I'd bring it to someone's attention to see if it can be considered legitimate, since its "technically" a PS1, but it's not using software emulation either. Kind of a weird gray area. I'm sure you probably think people are crazy for wanting to run on a slower console, but I figured I'd check.

Thanks.
