WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR
22 years on this patch is finally getting an update! I'd had a report some
time ago that the game runs too fast on anything above 68000. It turns out
the game relies entirely on its graphics library calls to set its speed!
Alas, as a result I can only approximate this.
I had originally tried an approach using Vblank timing, but I felt this was
too slow, so instead I've rolled a CIA timer solution for finer control.
This is enabled by default, because even on 68000 I think the speed I've set
it at is fine, but you can turn it off if you wish.
