Heyo everyone! I've been meaning to run this like forever and finally got to it. Just submitted my first run and awaiting verification for it. I would like some clarifications about some things that are kinda hazy though.

I started doing runs using Duckstation which had minimal desync between the music and the actual time window for the inputs. However, the times were about equal, clocking in at ~30 mins. So after checking what the 1st place run does, I resorted to PSXfin and more specifically v1.13 which is the one noted by WagnerBrasil, in his submission and load comparison thread.

From my experience doing this, it was very very painful to play on this specific emu because of the horrible desync that gets progressively bad in each stage, start to finish. I was wondering if there are any settings involved to alleviate this problem, because that made it an experience far from enjoyable. I would definitely run this more if there was any solution to the issue. Also, are there any specific bios needed for this? Cause I just followed a YT video and downloaded the one that vid suggested but I've seen from other games that this can affect the game's behavior in unprecedented ways sometimes.

Did you guys ever reach an agreement about the rules in general?
