Decided to do a more thorough timing comparing wii c, powerpak, and fceu-x.

¤note that fceu-x run is by pandamedic, not me :p

An actual FDS load time is included for reference from my console but it shouldn't be used as a standard of measure since all fds machines vary thanks to age and the rubber belt. The wii vc and powerpak come surprisingly close thanks to the great palace automated diskswitch. Wii vc just has WAIT while powerpak simulates the diskflips and displays another WAIT screen.

tldr; wii vc - 53.6 sec powerpak = 52.2667 sec fceu-x = 3min 7.2sec¤ fds console = 3min 51.4833sec¤ ¤not including great palace disk flip since its manually done

the wii vc run is currently being uploaded thru google sync at the moment but it should be available by midnight ¤done.

If someone decides to do an FDS run on bizhawk or nestopia, please record a movie and post it, i'll record it to avi and do a timing for it. I just can't make myself play thru an emulator on pc. The wii vc had enough input lag to mess up my controls a bit -_-

Did another run but with Bizhawk, total WAIT time was 6min 19sec¤. A video and the emulator movie file are in the google drive link. ¤disk flip not counted since it's manually done

I did note there was several inconsistent loading screens such as Life Town Entry, Hidden Town Entry/Exit, and Thunder Town Entry/Exit.

I went back and replayed the movie again on Bizhawk and the Life Town Entry time was still the same. But I did another manual run to Life Town and the entry town was around the 10.9sec mark. Odd since I chose the Tool-assisted Speedrun profile.
