United KingdomWhich emulator do you use to run this Moorea?
PS3 and PS5 will be a seperate category altogether which will be a PSN category cos again PSN is different from EMU and Console. Its definitely worth seperating them all because they are all different
EMU PSN Console
NTSC and PAL are the obvious ones being different.
IMO it doesnt matter how small a leaderboard is, it still has to have seperate categories :) I totally understand that not being many runners to keep things altogether but i think things should be set up properly so it keeps things right for the future. With DD being a downloadble game off PSN on PS3 & PS5 there should be another category for PSN. Thing is with Emu, console and PSN if you played them all side by side and let them load and go onto the title screen they would all be out of sync and after a few minutes all 3 will be playing at completely different times. When it comes to Playstation speedrunning console and emu should be kept apart in all games not just this one. Just means when it comes to console the optimum way to run a game is NTSC, so if any PAL runs exist, NTSC will be far superior. DD1 runs in 25FPS on PAL and 30FPS on NTSC. Just makes PAL runs obselete Doesn't make it too bad cos most games during the PS2's lifetime were PAL60 so everything was the same speed by like 2002/2003. But everything prior to this had the speed issue
IMO emulation and console should always be separate cos they are different. DD2 boards should have separate categories but they don't. I did request for it to get changed but no joy. Emulation will never be the same as original hardware. I think there should be separate categories for emu and console for every game not just this one :)
Hello, i've recently picked up DD2 for my Japanese PS2 (SCPH90000)
I used to run this using the ps1.13 emulator but from my experience from speed running emu and console is that ps1.13 runs a lot faster than console when it comes to loading times.
A lot of the times when it comes to Emu, it will load faster than console. I've recently submitted one run on console but i still think ps1.13 has the advantage of faster loading times cos it seems to load ps1 games stupidly fast in comparison to a PS2 with FDS.
Just wondering if it would be possible to have separate categories for Emulation and console :)
Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time :)
They should be separated cos RE2 American runs way faster than Biohazard 2 loading time wise, only with Leon though, its as if they started optimising loading times with Leon and ran out of time with Claire. PAL and american RE2 are the same, its only Biohazard 2 thats different. The biggest difference is that in RE2 the zombies can engage an extra level of speed which makes some dodges impossible that were consistent in Biohazard 2

I think a recent update has improved the loading side of things, previously it was a little slow. Now its pretty good :) Rules are cool how they are now, it was just my original run was done on the out of date duckstation where everything was loading slow adding on IGT compared to more recent runs.
Ive just done a retry and the game is now loading faster, by the 1st split its now showing a -25 and the game is actually loading how it should be. Maybe a recent update has fixed it. This is the 1st time trying it since submitting a run, cos after the yet... it loaded instantly. So aye a recent update must have fixed something along the lines which is nice. It says in the rules to show the FPS though? Doesn't mention anything about game rate
So with the settings, whose run is correct with the speed? I'm happy to delete the run to change settings to what they should be set at. But i don't know who stands correct. Cheers! :)
Next to the speed at the top right, mine avgs around 60, Rads is 30? I think thats the culprit to loading times, erm, does anyone know why or what it is exactly cos i don't know who to ask about this emulator cos i'm not sure who tested it before putting it up on the boards. I would like to change it to 30 to match his, and retry it. I was wondering why it was loading so damn slowly like
Quick one, the legend Rad Shaz has submitted a Duckstation run, but the loading times are faster than mine for some reason. A good example of this is when the press go on the splits after when it says 'yet...' in the main hall. On mine there is a long black screen for a good few seconds and Rads run is instantaneous. Not too sure what you can do to check settings and stuff but our two runs are completely different with the loading times, hence a massive time difference in the splits and total time. If anyone's familiar with Duckstation and can shine some light on the situation that would be great cos i'm kinda stuck
Duckstation is great i highly recommend it. And the graphical enhancements you can add to the games is incredible. Some games benefit from this feature massively and it doesn't affect the performance of the game either. With RE it makes the character models, enemies and key items look incredible! :)
Duckstation runs pretty slow in comparison to an OG PS1 let alone a PS2 with fast disc speed. With games on Duckstation that don't require the game to load every 10 seconds or less it runs great, but games like RE with it having to load every single screen transition and door sequence the emulator really struggles with loading times. Even with Dino Crisis 2 its very slow. Otherwise Duckstation runs great, input response is very good. But the inconsistency of the loading times does take a few days to adjust to if you are used to either OG hardware or the legacy emu. With the skip you are talking about, might be under the 'Major gltiches' category instead of the 'No major glitches' one but i'm not too sure cos i havn't heard about the acid skip before, Hope this helps you :)
Hello! Any further forward adding the Playstation categories back into the boards? :)
