I ordered a new PS2 & a capture card --

Does anyone have any experience? I think I remember hearing somewhere that emulator is optimal for speedrunning, but I really want to play it on PS2 so that I can also speedrun & record Klonoa 2!

Oh!!! Also, does anyone know the link to that official Klonoa site? The japanese one with all of the footage of people speedrunning Balue's Tower.

The "Extra Vision" was made for that very reason.

Outside of the Klonoa speedrunning server, I don't think you'll find tons of people with running experience

Well, actually, Klonoa 2 on emulator is banned in the leaderboards, due to emulation inconsistencies and instability. But if you don't care about that, then you can play on anything you want really. I know someone who did a couple fulls runs on it. And it would probably  be a bit faster overall due to better loads

I think I remember this page, but I have no idea if it's still working, nor where to find it again on the official webside. Would love to give it a read again
At least, the video of what I assume to be its winning time is still up https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm691782

Wait, you're that guy ? Very cool to see you

The original official website is here: http://www.bn-ent.net/cs/list/klonoa/ at least, i think this is the one you're refering to.

(EDIT: THE LINK DOES NOT WORK, HERE IS THE WORKING LINK: https://www.bandainamcoent.co.jp/cs/list/klonoa/)

It may be the siTe that originally hosted the page of every runner's Balue's Tower times from the competition, sadly it doesn't look like to be stored in there, if it isn't gone
Still, I appreciate the help
