Is it possible to have vgaonly core and dynamic cpu core? Does it really work? I believe the level of CPU accuracy needed for vgaonly mode could make dynamic core impossible....but... are they working at the same time?
Thanks!
Sure. Why wouldn't they? Core type and machine type are separate settings. The only restrictions are on cputype which need core=normal for anything other than auto.
The special effects in some demos tend to be a bit more stable with normal core. But it's not too bad in dynamic core either. With higher cycles the dynamic core also gets better.
1+1=10

I thought only cputype=386_prefetch needs core=normal
What's so special with for example cputype=386 that it would be better to use it with core=normal than dynamic?

Indeed, and the reason is quite simple: the prefetch aware emulation uses
a modification of the normal core. Otherwise it behaves exactly like cputype=386
