Replace Fusion with Blastem and GenPlus GX on the list of permitted emus?
... or at least add those in?
I've been doing runs of this one on the Genesis Plus GX core in RetroArch, so I thought I'd share my rationale for this to pre-empt possible questions.
It all stems from these testing efforts by Sonic 3 runners into whether runs on emulators offer any significant advantage over console runs: https://www.speedrun.com/s3k/thread/w89y7/2#vcgia
The gist of it is this: Fusion is usually quite a bit faster than a real console. Blastem is usually on par with a real console. Genesis Plus GX core (in RetroArch and Bizhawk) is just marginally faster than a console. Most other emus fall between GenPlus GX and Fusion.
