Standing adjacent against the left side of the post behind the save block while holding Tab down allows the emulator to increase the VPS above 100%, up to 120%. Walking away from the block results in the VPS dropping to 100% with minor fluctuations up to 102%. Vsync is enforced by only the display driver (and I guess also the DWM). Without holding Tab the VPS correctly maxes out at 100% in all areas of the game.

I discovered this anomaly while trying to figure out why the gameplay speed can not be increased like I expect it to when holding Tab. It feels like the Turbo function is artificially limited to 122~% VPS while graphics are present on screen and only at certain places in the game, it doesn't feel like I'm hitting a computer hardware performance limit. Company logo's for instance are hard locked to 60FPS and 100% VPS even when holding Tab.

Is the Turbo function (removing the Speed Limit cap by holding Tab) NOT meant to be a general purpose of speeding up games? Like is it not supposed to do something similar to holding Tilda in ZSNES?
