Yeah, that still doesn't help... I mean, I could dig out the box and see
the CPU speed requirement, but it still wouldn't help as Windows running
in the background slows the whole thing down... by how much, though, I
don't know. Thus, the only way I can think of is to find out how much an
event {such as jump generators chargeup} lasts in a "normal" game, and
then simply eperiment with slowdown values until I have it correct.
