Typing this at around 1:40am and when I'm in this sleepy state I have random and foggy thoughts about various things, and I was wondering about the fact that MKPC calculates times at the millisecond but isn't any time unit lower than 1/240th of a second always irrelevant in this context since the game's FPS can't be set above 240 anyways?

@Wargor

Ce qui est marrant c'est que chaque frame est équivalente à 0'00"067 secondes in game (même si tu peux monter jusqu'à 240 fps le temps reste basé sur les 15 fps lol)

Ah, ça par contre je ne le savais pas, mais ça fait du sens vu que c'était le nombre de FPS du jeu à l'origine... Intéressant!

What's even more interesting is that the last time digit (aka the number of ms) varies a lot in TT records, even though this theoretically shouldn't happen if the FPS is truly capped to 15... So, I'm wondering how this is possible, is it because device performance/lag causes the FPS to not always be constant?

Definitely can't wait to have an answer from Wargor himself.

if you increment by 0.06 (1/15th of a second) you can get any number in the ones place, so yes, the timer only updates 15 times a second, but that isn't apparent unless you have multiples of 1/15 memorized.

You sure? Do you mind giving me a few examples? Because, unless I'm calculating wrong, that doesn't seem to be the case...

What time did you calculate on?

Literally any time for example if I do the calculations with Anthcny's SNES Mario Circuit 1 time of 0:‎28:904, I obtain that 28.904/(1/15)=433.56 so yeah 433.56 is not a whole number this means his time isn't a multiple of 1/15
