EDIT: turns out using Wayback Machine provided results with "standalones.dev". However, it's not possible to download anything anymore. Should we really keep it in the list? Same goes for AloneSFC and AloneMD in their respective pages.
 
== Move Bizhawk under mGBA ==
 
Bizhawk is currently just an emulator front end that contains an mGBA core. It would probably be nicer to de-duplicate the info by removing its row in the table and providing a link underneath mGBA like VBA-m and Mednafen have for their libretro cores.
 
== Ares & Higan Cycle Accuracy ==
 
Both Ares and Higan's GBA emulators fail many of the timing tests required for cycle accuracy see here: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/GBA_Tests
 
Nanoboy Advance is currently the only GBA emulator that really hits the spirit of this, having passed difficult cycle accuracy test benches on the CPU and its peripherals.
SkyEmu is close, having a cycle accurate CPU and most peripherals, but notably lacks cycle accurate PPU emulation (SkyEmu is only accurate to the pixel ~4 clock cycles).
 
All other emulators are pretty far away lacking clock accurate CPU, cartridge, and PPU emulation.
