I was wondering why VBA was allowed for this board.

Generally it's banned for Game Boy speed runs because it runs at an inconsistent frame rate. (Unlike the SGB1 which runs consistently fast, so it's time can just be adjusted.)

I noticed SGB is also not listed as a platform (presumably since it runs too fast); but it's time can be converted to the correct frame rate, VBA however cannot be converted to accurate time

I was wondering if there was some reason SGB is banned but VBA is allowed. If it's just an oversight, perhaps we could change the rules? :)

Thanks!

For sure! I mod a few Game Boy boards so I'm familiar with the standards.

Generally GB boards contain these 3 rules:

• Visualboy Advance/Visual Boy Advance-M (VBA/VBA-M) in any variation IS BANNED since it emulates GB games inaccurately. It is recommended to use BGB, Gambatte or BizHawk.

-For emulator runs, please state the name & version of the emulator used in your submission

-Times achieved on the Super Game Boy 1 should be converted using this tool: http://nudua.com/convert See this link for more details: https://kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Super_Game_Boy_timing

Thanks again for hearing me out. :)
