I would like to ask if GBAHawk would be allowed for GB/GBC games. I started making a GBC TAS on GBAHawk, assuming it would be allowed but I see that it isn't listed as an officially excepted emulator and no other GBC runs have used it. There don't seem to be any official rules against it however so I am unsure if it can be used. (I found that the movie syncs perfectly with regular BizHawk so I can easily switch over if needed).

Why use GBAHawk here? It's just an older version of the GBHawk core within BizHawk. It's also not actually really any more accurate compared to Gambatte within BizHawk.

I auto-piloted into using it as I assumed it would have better accuracy like with GBA games without thinking too much about it. Turns out I was wrong. Fortunately, switching over to Bizhawk should be nice and simple.
