25# Using an output method like 'overlay' that supports hardware
26# scaling to a window twice the resolution (1280x960) works nicely

33# X-COM Apocalypse is a 1997 game and requires a lot of CPU cycles
34# for the animations and video sequences to flow.  Choosing the fast
35# dynamic core and limit cycles to max 80% works nicely for me.
36#
37# OBS: Unless the installer also gets a cycle-boost it will hang (or
38#      maybe it is just taking a REALLY long time?) when trying to
39#      detect the CD-ROM speed.  Anyway - the cycle boost also helps
40#      making the install & copying process run faster (but a full
41#      install still takes a lot of time!).
