I'm a bit surprised that there's a big page on TASVideos about preferred emulators for each platform and another with accuracy tests, but seemingly nowhere on TASVideos that specifies which BizHawk cores should be used. I found such a list on the readme file in BizHawk's GitHub repository... but the list is incomplete, so it's not super helpful. For example, SubNESHawk is not documented, and I have no idea how it differs from regular NESHawk. I was hoping the more accurate cores would be the default ones, but it appears to not be the case. Is it possible for someone more familiar with the matter to look into this? Thanks in advance!

Sub- cores are just their base cores with sub-frame input support. They aren't any different from their base cores accuracy wise. From what I see from the list, it seems mostly right, other than it implies Gambatte is less accurate than GBHawk (it's the other way around), and I don't know about TurboGrafx cores (someone with knowledge about them can probably answer if that part is right).

Thanks for the info CasualPokePlayer! Hopefully the documentation will be improved on this regard. If anyone else has additional information in the meantime, it would be appreciated!

TurboNyma is most accurate, PCEHawk has certain debugging tools and HyperNyma... exists I guess. Not sure about the details with that one.

HyperNyma is the fastest PCE core BozHowk offers, so can be useful for botting and such.

I wonder if Project64 could be used a core over Mupen for N64
I like to comment on submissions and look around the site. You have probably seen me before (if you have been around for a while) either on the site, Discord, or any other social media. I recently took up making temporary encodes for new submissions. Also, I never forget to greet Tompa wherever I find him!
