A long time now, emulators and other platforms have been very limited for Yoshi's Island due to almost all of them running too fast compared to Console.

But now that we have a Virtual Console platform leaderboard, it seems that this is a very good opportunity to actually start allowing some other platforms people might be playing at as the VC platform is faster than basically all other across the board.

This is the only comparison table we have right now which to be fair is very limited in data but it does show that VC is faster than both bsnes and SuperNT. I am also very willing to go through all emulators with more proper testing and if someone provides the footage for platforms, I could help with timing everything.

I would also like to note that loads all can vary 0-2 frames (at least) completely randomly, on console and emulator. This is a waiting loop for the Audio Chip CPU to respond and from limited testing this can vary up to 2 frames.

For example Jamo is running 100% now and he runs on a SuperNT and he has no place to submit, as far as I know, there's no actual advantage to these platforms over VC so I'm not sure there's any reasons why they couldn't be allowed.

If anyone has any arguments against it, please share and lets discuss!
