One of the normal conveniences of using an emulator over console is that you usually do not have to sit through a BIOS screen. As a console runner, I do not have this luxury. (I am far from done with this game. I am just focused on other things at the moment.)

Effective today, NEW runs will be required to either enable the GBA BIOS or be assessed a time penalty of four seconds per reset during the run.

Considering how many times resets will happen during the current route, this will add up quickly. This new rule is simply in place to level the playing field. As a rule, I find that emulators should never have an advantage over console.

If you are unable to locate/dump the GBA BIOS, Google is your best friend. That is all I can say.

Any objections to this rule should be placed in this thread.
