"- New code to account for SEGA's weird and wonky code for FPS values. Long story short, any values that are fix for the FPS over 59 are guess and become wrong very chop-chop. For example, the JP launcher sets sixty FPS in the config for 60 FPS. But the engine really locks it to 59 FPS. Setting the config to 90 locks the game to 85. Setting it to 120 locks the game to 100. Crazy. Fifty-fifty crazier is that the higher your FPS is, the faster the game loads. - In gild to change the FPS to what we actually want, the Tweaker will at present set the FPS in the config to the closest approximation information technology tin. This means that, in the config, the Tweaker will ready the following values: desired value -> what it sets in the config (max FPS possible) 60 FPS -> threescore (max: 59) 90 FPS -> 101 (max: 92) 120 FPS -> 136 (max: 125) 144 FPS -> 160 (max: 144)"
