The Greens were good. Army men rts pc. When we staged elaborate battles on our lawns, in our childhood bedrooms, and even on our bathroom counters, we needed no more reason than that.
Here is a list of what I know about how much faster/slower Chrono Cross runs across emulators and consoles. My general thoughts around this are: if a form of emulation is proved slower than running the game on console, in this case the PS2 with Fast Disc Speed, then it should be allowed. I will keep this post updated with any new findings.
Consoles (all allowed)
Playstation 2 SCPH-90001 (slim) Fast Disc Speed - This is the console I do runs on, it has been the standard console for many PS1 speedruns as it is the most accessible console as well as runs off of the original game discs. I will use this as the comparision to everything else.
Playstation 2 SCPH-75001 (slim) Fast Disc Speed - Spikevegeta uses this console, and as far as I can tell, it is identical to the PS2 (90001) model as far as speed. I only did some basic testing of comparing screen transition times.
Playstation 2 (older fat models) Fast Disc Speed - I haven't tested one myself, but the general consensus for the fat PS2s is that they run slightly slower than the slim PS2 models, but still much faster than a PS1.
Playstation 1 - Obviously this will lose time compared to running on a PS2 with Fast Disc Speed enabled.
Official Emulators
Instant online proofing system for windows. Playstation 3 (PSN) - Because the PS3 emulator doesn't have a Fast Disc option, this version should be slower than running on a PS2 with Fast Disc. However, I have not tested it.
PSTV (PSN) - This emulator features a Fast Disc Speed. Using Fast Disc, I did a test of the screen transitions between this and my PS2 (90001) Fast Disc and the PSTV saved ~3 frames on every screen fadeout transition, so it will save about 1 second after 10 or so transitions. However, this version appears that it might lag more in other areas of the game, most notably the Gaea's Navel and Sky Dragon Isle fights. It's almost impossible to compare this. Also, the PSTV runs Final Fantasy 7 faster than PS2 Fast Disc. In my opinion the use of this emulator is still up in the air, as it could still end up being faster.
PSP / PS Vita (PSN) - This emulator also has the Fast Disc Speed option, but I've never tested how it compares to PSTV or PS2 Fast Disc.
(If there is enough interest in people running these versions, we could add a new category that includes them, as Final Fantasy 7 has done.)
PC Emulators
ePSXe (don't know the version) - Since this emulator is based on the PS1, it does not have a Fast Disc option. Sentulututu used this, and just from observations it appears that this emulator loses clost to ~1 second per fadeout screen transition. However, there are sections of that game that normally lag, where this emulator doesn't lag. My best guess here is that overall, time is lost compared to PS2 Fast Disc.
Bizhawk (mednafen core) - I do most of my strats testing with this emulator, and it is known to be the most accurate emulator. Again, as the intention of this emulator is to emulate the PS1, it natually will run the game slower since there is no Fast Disc option. However, I haven't done any real comparisons.
Other emulators - Ideally we could include all emulators, if they run slower than the PS2 Fast Disc. There are, however, seem to be too many poor PSX emulators out there to thoroughly test them all, and they all seem to run different games differently So I'd try to stick to the these first two emulators, as they seem to have the closest accuracy compared to consoles. I use this page to see the comparisons between the accuracy of PSX emulators: http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/PS1_Tests
If you've done any of your own testing or comparisons, please post your results in this thread and I will update this post.

Talk about Need for Speed II (USA):
Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.Hi,
I'd like to get into running Final Fantasy VII, but I have a question about the 'fast disc speed' option on the PS2: How much time does it save over the course of an any% run?
For various reasons, I thought I'd start by practising with a PS1 emulator, but I noticed that I was already two seconds behind PS2 players after the opening FMV. I'm not expecting to challenge the top of the leaderboard any time soon but it would still be useful to know how much time I'm giving away by not being able to play the game on a PS2. Does the fast disc speed setting only speed up FMV loading times or other things as well? If it's the former, it should be easy to calculate - I could do it myself - but if it's the latter, it will be much more difficult, if not impossible.
Thanks.
