Both emulators have a fade-out animation when I press Ctrl+R, how can I get rid of it? In the Top 1 run the game just resets at once, do they use other emulator?
If using Gambatte-SR under Settings > Video, select any of the Video Filters. This does not actually change the timing at all - it's purely visual that the screen goes black abruptly instead of fading, but the time between pressing hard reset and the game booting up is identical as is any game behavior involving the hard reset timing with respect to saving the game or anything else. I forget how to change this in GSE - I kind of prefer the look of the fadeout so I never edit mine on emu. (Also, good question - I had the same question/concern a while back the first time seeing this.)
