what's the REAL velocity of your game/demo??? (using emulators)
for example: i use VBA, and the velocity in some games (some of my games) is faster than in no$gba..why's this???

In VisualBoyAdvance for Windows, try Options > Emulator > Show speed > Detailed to see if your PC can keep up with the emulated CPU and PPU. If you get something considerably below 100% (such as 88%), try increasing frameskip.

yes, my percent is at 100 in VBA and in NO$GBA :D, but, is this the real velocity on hardware??? or the emulators changes his velocity depending on the computer...
i ask this because my games tested in VBA seems to run faster than games in NO$GBA.
i'd tested my games on another computers, and the velocity seems to be lower than mine...
i guess i found that out when i test my games on hardware :D

If the game waits for vblank after every game loop, and it completes the game loop within 280896 cycles, then it should work at the same speed on hardware and all emulators.

In my experience, certain things run slightly slower on VBA than on hardware. I have no idea why. My computer is certainly beefy enough to run at 100% speed.
Want you know your "real speed," why not test on hardware?

Yes, because that's the actual target platform.
