Gearboy is not in that shootout.
I finally wrote my first ever emulator (GameBoy)

There were multiple times where I got stuck with the CPU timings and the PPU. So I modified the Gearboy to print some extra info, like registers and timers, so I could compare with mine and figure out where it failed.

[PS3 RetroArch Community Edition] I cant get the Game Gear Cores working

Gearboy is a Game Boy emulator. Gearsystem should work, though. Picodrive works, too, I think.
So in 2022, what reasons, if any (even minor ones), are there to use VBA-M over mGBA?

I prefer Gearboy to Sameboy. It emulates the display flicker of a real Gameboy. Gave me a nostalgia kick.
