Is it true Aaron put a hack in for speeding up the fighting games?  I have searched for details, but I only saw Howard mention it once and I just kinda wondered..........................

sorta.....


Some of the 3d games (not fighters, mostly games like rush and blitz) used real 3dfx voodoo chips.  Because of this, the video output is similar to a video card in that you can set the resolution and refresh rate (and he also hacked in a framerate adjuster).  So by pressing ctrl+h you get half resolution and by pressing ctrl+q  you get quarter  (ctrl+f sets it all back).  Ctrl+1-5 adjusts the framerate of the video card.  This only works on games that used a 3dfx card, so afaik fighters don't fall into that group.
