One of the most treasured games of my childhood, seeing how the PSX version apparently isn't emulatable yet, there's no good Jaguar Emulator at the moment, the GBA version butchered the game and makes your ears bleed and apparent desync issues with the Saturn version, with DOS emulation possible now, maybe this game might become possible.
So my question is: Is Rayman and its various spinoffs comptabile with JPC-rr? I'd love to see/do a TAS of this game, because it certainly seems entertaining enough.
Also sorry if yet another thread about the same game is redundant, but, eh, it's a different platform now, isn't it?

I am negative towards any real adventure game, such as Full Throttle. While usually great games, they are horribly unsuited for speed running.
Agreed. Frame perfect mouse clicking just isn't that very interesting to watch.
You could still do it for the sake of seeing how quick the game can be completed.
Of course, there may be the possibility for some break that'll let you complete the game very quickly or glitch it out or something else.

Well, I was wondering about more advanced FPSs such as Unreal or Half-Life. (Then again, Half-Life has a pretty impressive semi-assisted speedrun on SDA).
Would those be even possible to emulate using JPC-rr?

I think this site has a serious lack of FPSs (really, I wonder why Doom SNES never had been run), but now, this might become possible.
I doubt hardware acceleration is possible though.

The problem for me is that I don't know anything about the game, so for me, it looks like this could also've been done by a very skilled player.
The later stages got more interesting as they've got more difficult and so, ultimately, the run warrants a yes vote from me.

I first got suckered in by the "Fake Difficulty" article in the description for one of the runs.
Super Mario Bros 2j Allstars by any chance?
Still, video games aren't the most accurate when it comes to the laws of physics. Or geography. Or any laws, so, if there are games where italian plumbers can jump multiple times their own height in a surreal landscape made up of mushrooms and bricks, what is the big deal with wrap-around JRPG maps?

The bigger amount of hp seems to be good, as we can take damage to make de boss way faster.
I suppose there are places where the extra HP point may come in handy to save time, but I doubt they are so plentiful it'll excuse the horrible music, worse graphics and smaller screen.

The Saturn version is kind of emulatable, but we'll have to wait for a later release of Yabuse that fixes desyncing. The GBA version is very terrible in my opinion. The music will garuntee your ears bleeding by the end of the day, there's a lot of video issues with frame skipping, and a lot about the game has been lowered in difficulty, like the amount of hit points you have. I'd much rather wait for a more reliable DOSbox, PCSX, or Yabuse emulator.
I guess the Jaguar Version is out of the Question.

I'd prefer to see the DOS version ran, but since that won't be possible in the near future and the PSX version apparently is not supported yet, I guess this doesn't leave us with many other choices than the Advance version.
