middle: US version running on PAL N64 (w/ everdrive 64 v2 flash cart)
right: US version running on NTSC N64
I hope this comparison proves my point that playing on flash cart is in no way unfair to other players as it's actually the slowest way of playing the US version (still faster than EU version afaik).
I tested lag on Yoshi's Island hole 5 with rain as this is known to be one of the laggiest spots in the game.
Wii VC seems unfair to use in an RTA as it does not lag due to emulation but should be fine for using the in-game timer (which is basically a frame counter).
