Zoom speed and files (suggestion)

[willimbio]

I like the zoom feature on the emulator, but it barely speeds the game up, is there anyway you can make it faster?

I also have a question about the converted rom files, why is there like a million of them?

Max file sizes require the roms to be split into multiple appvars.

Currently the turbo mode goes as fast as possible, according to the configured frameskip. You can make it go somewhat faster by increasing the maximum frameskip, but anything more would require additional optimizations in the emulator (which I'd like to work on at some point).

As for the converted ROM files, that's due to a limitation of TI's filesystem which only allows files a bit smaller than 64KB. Being able to compress ROMs is something I want to look into for the future, but it might make the games run noticeably slower because there's not enough RAM to decompress the whole ROM at once.
