@Cimp You haven't wasted my time. I understand your reasoning, but this is the second time we have removed PS emu, so there is clearly a problem that cannot be solved. I respect your passion and suggest maybe Dolphin Emulator? It's the same game but with a cutscene skip if you choose to utilise it. If not, then you can watch them. I can help set it up for you if you'd like. I meant no disrespect. I just felt as though I was repeating myself.
@Cimp With all due respect, I, as well as another moderator have explained to you in great detail why it is not possible to continue with said emulator. I've taken the time out of my day to respectfully reply. I admire your passion but the emulator will not be reinstated, no matter how much we repeat ourselves.
The issue is, it's a broken emulator that can force cheating which can either be easily detectable or hard too detect. Either way, it's broken and untenable. With all due respect, I'm not sure how it's a huge blow when other superior versions are available in abundance and in accordance with the rules. I had the WR for this category on the old board and although it was sad I lost my record, I completely understand the logic behind the decision. It's not fair on anybody running it and have proven why.
It would be obvious, but you could make minor changes and get a free WR. It isn't fair on anybody running.
For reference, this is a Duckstation run. Would you guys be happy running against this?
It has been discovered by myself that Duckstation is still able to be manipulated whilst showing 100% settings. On that basis, and that basis alone, the category is no longer tenable. Sorry to all the runners who took took time and effort into getting their names on the leaderboard. If emu is the path you would like to go down then GCN EMU or GCN EMU/DOOR SKIP offer a healthy alternative. Sorry again for the inconvenience this may have caused. However, we simply cannot accept a category where manipulation is possible.
