Hey everyone, it was found that using Bizhawk for HP2GBC seems to save time on text mashing (my assumption is less lag), the exact amount it saves is unknown but it seems to be between 10 to 15 seconds throughout the run.

@Tegron mentioned this version of Gambatte https://github.com/pokemon-speedrunning/gambatte-speedrun/releases and after testing, this seems to be way more accurate than using Bizhawk and text mashing seemed to be about the same as console.

This version will now be required for 1GBC and 2GBC runs, any other emulator is banned, all the existing emulator runs on the boards will get a 15 seconds penalty, 1GBC does not get a penalty since text mashing seemed to be the same as console.

(GBA will still use Bizhawk for emulator runs and DS DeSmuME until a more accurate version is found)
