problem isn't as apparent anymore, and automatic frame skipping doesn't go to 8 FPS all the time in Super Mario World. Thank the deities!
Reverses the auto frameskip synchronisation from commit dac11c74ac112728016e51625ac9f2a727152ddd, because that doesn't play well with interrupts.

the code is drawing a frame early in automatic frame skip mode. Otherwise, overflow occurs, and we skip 4 billion images.

This reverts commit d9b6322caafcbd355848a32acd8b8c0fa1746264.

Remove old automatic frameskip code.

to 8 FPS right away and constantly. The equivalent frame skip will be 2, 3, 5 or 8 most of the time, depending on the game, and will vary a bit depending on rendering demands.
For example, the frame skipping in Super Mario World is 3 on the map and in graphically simple levels, and 5 in complex levels.

speed by 25% if frame skip 3 (Show 1 in 4) rendered a frame early.
Optimise the controller code. I don't expect to allow remapping any time soon, because the DS has buttons for every single SNES controller button and nothing more.

PAL timings (20 ms per frame).
User-selected frameskip causes slowdowns if the game runs slower than the resulting frame rate, but synchronises correctly if the game runs faster.
Automatic frame skipping is still the default. It now only skips up to 8 frames, but in some games still skips that entire 8 frames. What's needed is an algorithm that averages frame latencies over a few seconds and skips while the latency is LOWER than the average.

extent this will save on battery usage, though I do set the DSTWO's CPU to the lowest frequency while it sleeps.

selection interface freezes when it gets to the folder containing Mightymo's cheat files, whereas it did not do this before with the converted Mightymo cheats. (335 files -> 679, though.)

lose keys entirely sometimes, and could otherwise delay a button press or release by 200 ms.
This was the entire reason I created the fork, and I finally did it! It syncs the controls every scanline of a frame, which costs about 60,000 MIPS instructions per frame to deal with. Luckily, the processor runs at 396 MHz, which means the cost of checking the controls is 1% of the CPU's power.

In addition to having less sound skipping going on, certain platformer games (I'm looking at you, Super Mario World) are helped by having more synchronised controls. In other words, synchronising the audio also synchronises the controls a bit more.
