Well, I'm starting TASing and I wonder wich one should I use, since they are both in the preferred list.
my personal page - my YouTube channel - my GitHub - my Discord: thunderaxe31 <Masterjun> if you look at the "NES" in a weird angle, it actually clearly says "GBA"

Both of these emulators use the same GB emulation core (Gambatte), and timing-wise are pretty much compatible with each other (with some effort, it's possible to convert movie input logs from one emulator to the other), so there's no difference there. It really is a matter of preference between which set of emulator tools you like more or works better for you.

This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

What about VBA-RR? I noticed that quite a few GBA movies come from it, what is the main difference between VBA-RR and BizHawk

VBA-rr is alright for Game Boy Advance. For normal Game Boy, it's absolute garbage. BizHawk and lsnes (both using the Gambatte core) outclass it in every way.
