Description
Adding a shim can be as simple as this:
https://github.com/TASEmulators/BizHawk/blob/971fc61c4276527a7b081a1b3aa7153832e189ec/Assets/Lua/migration_helpers.lua#L2-L21
bit = (require "migration_helpers").EmuHawk_pre_2_9_bit();
Potential shims:
- DeSmuME
Dolphinwaiting for #3381- FCEUX
- mGBA
- VBA-rr
- API reference on TASVideos which is outdated or missing stuff
- existing third-party shim
