Hack description

Here is what the patch does.

- DynamicVsync
- Enables the turbo via CHGCPU on boot
- Hold the TAB key to throttle the game speed
- SPACE key now speeds up the text dialogs, just like Metal Gear-2
- Automatically sets the VDP to 60Hz on boot, to play the game at the correct speed even on European machines. If you have an old European TV that doesn't support this, keep SELECT pressed on boot to disable it.
- Removed the annoying region lock. Now it's possible to play the japanese version on non-Japanese machines
- Enhanced sprite cycling: if you have a turbo machine, the sprite cycling routine will take advantage of that and the flickering of the sprites will occur at a higher frame-rate.
- Improved graphics for the moving parts of the bridge. They now match the non-moving pieces better.
