After each end of frame, it waits for a specified delay, in order to achieve a constant framerate. So far, we made the assumption that the T2 counter was always set to 30.000 (which is the default for most of the existing games), but Bedlam does set this counter to 49407 ($C0FF). Hence, ParaJVE was running the game at 160% of its original speed. Now that it has been fixed, the emulator computes the ratio (T2 value / 30000), and use this as a factor to multiply the initial delay to wait for the next frame.

So the correction fixes all the 7 games. Following is a list of these "non-standard" games, with the delay value they're using. 45000 ($AFC8) : Cosmic Chasm Hyperchase Rip Off Star Trek 45056 ($B000) : Tour de France 49152 ($C000) : Polar Rescue 49407 ($C0FF) : Bedlam
