http://tasvideos.org/UsingEmulatorTools.html I was reading the FAQs like a good little boy to find the answer to a frame skipping question (and I found it! YAY). However, I also found this:
The FAQ wrote:
Shift+ lowers the speed (as milliseconds per frame). Shift- raises the speed (as milliseconds per frame). Pushing + or - without shift alters the frame skipping, and using it is not recommended. If you accidentally use it, press - until it is back at automatic.
On my SNES9x v1.43 improvement 2, which I got from this site, these are reversed. Shift+ or Shift- toggle frame skipping, and +/- alone toggle milliseconds/frame. Since everyone puts in big bold letters to READ THE FAQ for many questions around here, the FAQs should probably correspond to the tools we are using to make these TASs.

It's not exactly an error. It depends on the layout of your keyboard. They keys listed apply to USA keymapping, I think (which is not what most of the world use, but...).

Well I can honestly say that I wasn't aware that shift can mean non-shift in a different country's keyboard setup, using the same program. I'm quite perplexed by it myself. Oh well, to each his own. Just thought I'd point it out to be sure.

Hold on now. I have the feeling you're right, but I haven't got the emulator handy to check. In the windoze version, ordinary speed is really changed without shift. And I don't think this game suffers from the always-english-layout problem like FCEU does. If noone else looks into it, I'll do it as soon as I have time. Which is not this week.
