VBA emulates lag really badly, 1 frame of lag can turn into 5 seconds of time loss (RTA-wise i mean), if not more.

I recommend using Bizhawk instead, it's way better, mostly because it emulates GBA better than VBA does in general. Especially lag.

Should i Get "alot of lag" when speeding running Metroid Zero Mission on VBA 1.7.2?
