This game is a real good tas candidate with its very high speed and slippery physics. I have a WIP up to track 3 on challenge 1: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/70071203169436539 The game is very difficult to optimize, especially when trying to maintain the highest speed. The WIP is just a test speedrun, not a fully optimized run to be submitted. The nice thing about the tracks is the booster pad act as guides as to where you should be to maintain optimal speed. The powerups serve as distractions which could mess you in up in certain situations. Electrovolt is instant death and very precise. The collision in this game is very iffy. Sometimes you just go straight through a boost pad.. Using rewind is recommended. Would be nice if I could make a save state every frame, but then the game would run extremely slow on my computer.,

When comparing the two console versions of Wipeout XL/2097 the Saturn version performs worse to that of the PlayStation version and it has worse loads. It might be a different story in the emulation world but that's the facts, not even an explination here to why you're using the Saturn version. You're also using the Europe release of the Saturn version and not the Japanese release and not explaining why you're taking that hit either.

I'm using the saturn version because I'm using Linux. Psx tasing isn't available on Linux yet. Would you recommend I switch to the Japanese release?

Can't make that excuse when you did Driver almost 3 years ago as well as this video game from last year. You saying you didn't back up your OS to dual boot into Windows? Cause that's what it looks like you're saying. --- Anyways did the checking cause it's annoying when people don't check. At least to emulation this is, Saturn JPN loads the fastest when going in a stage. Not checking the European versions, cause they're the European versions.
