Description
Gameboy Camera is a TASable game in all aspects, but Gambatte doesn't recognize the ROM, while GBHawk is unable to go past the BIOS screen.
Note that there is no need to emulate the camera functionality itself, as it's completely unnecessary to take any photo in order to reach the credits rolls.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Gambatte recognizes Gameboy Camera ROMs and where GBHawk stops at the BIOS screen. Compare the required support path with the stated constraint that camera functionality is unnecessary. Done means the game can reach its credits in BizHawk without emulating photo capture.
