Trance, your argument is irrelevant to what we're discussing. Furthermore, you're failing to offer a solution to those that cant solve the issues with the PC version. On top of that, you're mocking them because of that . . .

If the times aren't optimised in other categories, why haven't the likes of you competed against the people you have just disregarded as bad runners?

Why are you so against adding something that is already implemented in RE3?

Thanks Furry, I really appreciate you taking the time to look at this objectively.

Zenix, thank you. Providing i can find a stable settings/emulator i will revisit this in the future.

Trance, If we are looking at it like that, why is there a RE3 gamecube emu category if RE3 has PC?

I think it's time we added a Gamecube Emulator category to the RE2 leaderboards. RE3 has one, i think this board needs one. It's the best version to play in my opinion and a lot more people have shown interest in running it. The dolphin emulator runs perfectly, no noticeable performance issues.

I can't remember for the life of me if you have me on steam Limburger.

It's the same as my username.

Thanks Commando <3 you legend.

FYI, and anyone that is concerned. I'm very familiar with copyright infringement, in fact i work in that sector professionally. Fundamentally, it's wrong, but I have purchased several copies of the game, and supported it in different ways, so on a moral basis, i don't feel bad . . . that doesn't change the situation, but I'm not some pirate that steals everything. :)

@Carcinogen

Appreciate it. I can't SS for you, but the layout is:

A subfolder containing two .ecm files and one further zipped file that contains something called track01.bin.ecm . . . or something very similar.

¤ .bin.ecm isn't a typo, it's genuniely what it's called. I've tried the obvious things :)

Any help is appreciated :D

That's a shame but never mind.

Where can i 'acquire' ;) a copy of Biohazard 2 for PSX? Every time i download one, they're in .zip folders with a few files that aren't .iso or .bin . . . . I know i need to merge them or something, but how?

Which Emu software is allowed for runs?

Thanks trance

Hey guys.

Having read some of the other threads i'm gutted to see the loss of the Gamecube PAL category. I'm a new speedrunner and I have been putting in a lot of hours to compete for Leon A PAL - for the obvious reasons, i'm slightly disheartened to see them go. Are those likely to return, or is this final? I just need conformation.

This kind of leads to my next point. What difference if any, do the European copies have that might be considered a 'disadvantage' (I use the term loosely)? Having watched a bunch of you lovely people run the American version, there is a noticeable difference in performance. As mentioned in other threads, PAL runs at a slightly lower FPS, surely this makes some aspects of the game slightly harder (5 frames difference might be considered minor, but as we all know, speedrunning is extremely sensitive, thus everything makes a difference)

Does this effect PS3, PS1/PS2 categories, in terms of performance for European copies? I'm asking because i don't want to run for a really really competitive category, and I just want to be clear on the pros/cons etc.

One last thing. Have the mods ever discussed making the Japanese, Biohazard completely separate? I know you want as little categories/games as possible, but surely this should be an exception?

Thanks for reading, appreciate the response in advance!
