Emulation accuracy

Partial cycle-accuracy
====Partial cycle-accuracy====
This focuses on replicating the timing of instructions and key internal operations, while simplifying or skipping some less critical details. This can lower the performance requirements compared to full cycle accuracy. Remember, just because an emulator is partially cycle-accurate doesn't necessarily make it more accurate than a high-highly accurate emulator. For example, CEN64 only emulates the CPU pipeline cycle-accurately and that's all, on the other hand Simple64 is more accurate in terms of timing for specific tasks like certain DMA transfers, even though it doesn't achieve partial cycle-accurate emulation.
