TIC-80 doesn't start properly on Windows XP unless forced to `--soft` #2559

Per the title, came up when testing https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/pull/2558, works fine on Windows 7. Both are VMs so there is some chance this works fine on a real Windows XP machine but I don't have access to one currently.

Easiest fix would be to force software rendering under Windows XP specifically but would be nice to double-check on a real Windows XP machine.

update: works fine without --soft on real hardware (ThinkPad x220) so this is a VirtualBox VM thing.
