Yup, idle skip doesn't work in games that use a different idle loop. This is normal,
although of course we could detect this different idle loop.

Or add an entry in the game.ini to have better use of it, when it's back.
Like "AltIdleSkip=1".
Whatcha thinking?

So can it work if I just change a few lines in the code. Or does the skipping
function need to be rewritten more than that?

What is Fire Emblem's idle skipping method?

We should just create a new file under JIT called IdleSkipping.cpp/h

Yeah well the speedhack works around it by making its complicated idle loop take more
"virtual time" to perform, making the cpu work less. You won't see it as idle
skipping in the title bar, but has mostly the same effect.

So can we tag this as fixed or is there more work to do?
