Just a heads up: Higan v099 is released and it removes the "balanced" and "performance" emulation cores (aka profiles), only keeping "accuracy". I pushed a commit doing the update.
If anyone wishes to use higan but their machine is too slow for the accuracy profile, we could create a higan-v098 package. My ThinkPad T420 with an Intel i5-2520M is fast enough when I set the CPU frequency governors to "performance", though it's too slow on "powersave". And I know many people only use older Intel CPUs... Taylan
