No one can imagine how pissed off I am to hear some people saying that this is somehow less entertaining than MrWint's run without providing evidence or details. Yes, entertainment can be partially subjective, but at least don't let your feelings go over the facts.
By the way, can you make Grayscale the default palette for Gambatte (like in GBHawk)? Cause the default pea soup one looks pretty ugly.
Will GBHawk be prefered to Gambatte in future runs? Does GBHawk have higher accuracy yet?
With the latest commits to GBHawk Pinball Fantasies finally works. This is an infamous game in GB emulation and a large part of my motivation for starting GBHawk. It was already figured out though by the author of Sameboy long before GBHawk reached the point of being able to analyze it, so once again I was late to the party, oh well.
Originally I was going to wait to work on this until after test ROMs are released that test the required behaviour. But there is only one internally consistent solution that makes the game work and passes all the other test ROMs and accuracy checks (such as the pokemon runs) so there was really no point in that.
With this, original Gameboy emulation has reached the point where I consider it capable for TASing. So, I'll be putting it into released state once I go over and clean up some stuff.
Gameboy Color emulation has progressed significantly, but I haven't really touched double speed mode or associated timing stuff, and there is generally still a lot of work to do there. Maybe I can start on that soon now that I'm pretty comfortable with the original Gameboy part.
Test now, please let me know what happens.

, 960, {string(45)}, {string(106)})I verified the pause glitch also works on Bizhawk (gambatte core). $A201 onward are executed on rare occasion when doing the bug, and depending on the values of those addresses, various things can happen, as was the case in VBA. I didn't manage to do the credit warp by editing memory to C4 C3 05 ... C0 though. I only did manage to leave the level early by C4 BC 05 ... C0. This could be because of the glitch being stubborn or because of emulation differences, I don't know. I tried with five different scenarios and it barely works. I remember the bug was more compliant in VBA.
I should also mention I'm getting a lot of audio problems with GBHawk right now, it seems to speed up and slow down a lot which in turn makes the pitch sway wildly.
