 In the Video & audio menu, the **Frame skipping** option allows you to select

 a number of frames to skip between rendered frames.

-* Setting this to 0 will show every single frame, but this will slow down the

-  game considerably, as the DSTWO would only have enough processing power to

-  emulate **and** render a few frames per second. It has enough power to

-  emulate all frames and render **some**, though.

+

+As of version 1.29, the default is - (Keep up with the game). For most games,

+this setting keeps video and audio fluid, without the sudden slowdowns of

+previous versions when many sprites fill the screen. The DS controller buttons

+are also responsive at this setting.

+

+For some games, you may need to adjust frame skipping.

+* If a game runs at 5 frames per second, like *Yoshi's Island*,

+  *Kirby Super Star*, *Star Fox* or *Super Mario RPG*, setting frame skipping

+  to 1 will allow you to jump, move or shoot at the right times.

+* If you want to show more frames per second in a game that already shows 20,

+  setting frame skipping to 1 or 0 will cause more frames to appear,

+  but your DS button input may stop responding for 2 entire seconds every so

+  often. The audio will also be stretched. (This is similar to NDSGBA.)

 * Setting this to 10 will skip 10 frames and render one, but this will

   severely desynchronise the audio. You will also find yourself unable to

-  perform actions during the correct frame with the controller.

-* Setting this to - (Keep up with the game) will make the emulator try to

-  render the game at its correct speed, dropping frames as needed (up to 8).

-

-It is recommended to start with frame skipping 4 (Show 1 frame every 5) and

-go to 3 or 2 if the game doesn't run with major slowdowns with them. If you

-don't like the slowdowns, return to frame skipping 4 or -.

+  perform actions during the correct frame with the DS buttons. It is advised

+  to set frame skipping to the lowest value with which you can play a game.
