The games scrolling has multiple attributes that cause issues.
First, there is the acceleration some may find annoying or irritating.
But second, and far more important:
The scrolling is not properly adjusted to the framerates, which results in insane speeds on high frame counts.
It would be good, if we could create a module that creates a better scrolling experience for the user.
There are currently three functions that do the heavy lifting: (All addresses are for normal SHC 1.41.)
00468ad0: Resolves the input and computes the scrolling type and base distance.
00434120: Performs the actual scrolling.
004af860: Also used to render debug numbers, but also the function that computes the framerate which is used for scrolling.
This is slightly related to this issue: #32
Since the game has problems resolving high framerates, the current scrolling might suffer even more.
