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

+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 -.

Use this option if you want to play games mainly for their soundtracks, or in
a game's sound test mode. You can also use this option to experiment with the
green berry glitch in Super Mario World that makes TIME go over and under 100
