Emulators

Hello!

So I've been doing tests of GB emulators lately in an attempt to find an accurate one for OSX runners.

While doing this, I also tested RetroArch's implementation of gambatte.

The conclusion for RA is that it runs about 0.4% too fast relative to a real game boy. I've posted these specific results here:

I suggest we clean up innacturate runs currently on the leader board, and then institute rules for legal and illegal emulators. (I'll have full updated emulator results later today, but wanted to post about the RA marble timing I did here.)

For now, I suggest that these be allowed: Windows: -bgb -gambatte -bizhawk -sameboy v 0.11+ (Maybe, untested currently)

Mac: -Sameboy v 0.11+ -openemu 2.0.8+ (Im iffy on this one though, I plan to do more testing)

While banning all others (Especially and explicitly banning Visual Boy Advance).

I also suggest we add a rule to name your emulator explicitly in your run submission for emulator runs.
