Hello,

I discover some games in speedrun.com have those rules : 


Code:
-Bizhawk with mGBA core is the preferred emulator, regular mGBA is also allowed but less recommended.

-Any other emulator will not be accepted for the leaderboards


So I tell the players on discord to understand why libretro mGBA core is not allowed for other emulators (like retroarch for example) and they answer me :


Code:
It's due to inaccuracy. Bizhawk with the mGBA core was found to be most accurate. We had other emus saving 30+ seconds due to running improperly which is a huge margin in a 15 min run

So i don't understand why any other emulators using mGBA libretro core could have a different accuracy :

Can you help me to understand if another emulator like retroarch using mGBA libretro is really less accurate and why ?
I have no idea. Might be human error or different versions of the core.
