Going to consider this tabled for now and lock it. No real argument has been made either way so best just to leave as-is.

If the discussion comes up in the future a new thread can be made. This thread will be deleted eventually.

I would say it should be tested in runs thoroughly before it's on the table. It's mainly untested in TTS.

Or just flat out say cutscenes only or something. I really don't care either way I'm just pro turbo.

Just the option. Don't need them for codecs but I'm used to it with MGS1 and 2 with other mashing. The less on my old ass wrists the better. Can't really think of any turbo advantages strategy wise

Yes for turbo

RIP one too many O's in Seth's name lol I'll be honest I don't know about PS4 or PS4 Pro about loading times etc. That was just left from the previous mod team. I would be willing to merge those. But at a quick Google search at stock the performance does differ so... not sure.

I may just merge them just because hardly anybody runs PS4 anyway and avoid a dead category. EDIT: Merged.

Cock

I'd like to request mod/super mod status for the following game: https://www.speedrun.com/volume

The only runner/mod/super mod has not logged in since Aug 1 2020. I have a run pending that has been in the queue for 2 weeks now.

I have tried to contact via Twitch whispers but no response. I do not see any other viable way to contact.

My pending run: https://www.speedrun.com/volume/run/yo9k7pdy

Thank you.

Special treatment for @AllAgesGaming to retime only his times is not right. Never should be an option IMO. I'd say either separate or just don't. At the end of the day speedrunning is a bit of an arms race. If NTSC is the fastest, then just play NTSC and let NTSC/PAL be on the same board. Emulators are highly accessible along with obtaining an NTSC copy.

For something like this, separate PAL and NTSC. If it's that drastic of a difference, and you want everyone to play fair, just separate them. Doing math/conversions just sounds wack, and very confusing.

Yes

HD Edition PS3, yes. I would do HDD.

If you have a fiber connection and perfect elements, it's only going to load and run as fast as a PS3. As Major already said, PSNow just emulates a PS3. There is no point to separation.

Emulate is a loose term in this sense. PSNow emulates, or represents a PS3. RPCS3 is totally different, 3rd party and not comparable.

Happy running!

Unfortunately even if you play perfect, the loads/lag/etc. just can't compete with PS3. Plus there are exclusive glitches that are PS2 only, thus needing the separation even more.

I'd be very surprised if Mr. Snawk ran VE ever.

Yes but if you submit the run will be hidden from the boards by default. You can go into the filters and show emulator runs but they won't be visible until you filter them.
