Emulation

For legal reasons we cannot provide you with a GBA BIOS or Boktai ROMs.

To establish parity between console and emulator, these settings are required for speedruns:

• GBA > Settings > Sync Settings, set "Skip BIOS" to "False".
• Config > Customize > General, uncheck "Pause when menu activated".
• To simulate a dead battery: GB > Settings > Sync Settings, set "RTC" to False
