Chameleon Twist 2 Changed note to clarify: [input] needs Rumble-Pak -> [input] disable Memory-Pak
Removed (actually commented out):
Jet Force Gemini (U) [f1] Reason: bad rom.
*I think the average PC is now fast enough to turn this off in the RDB.
(i've known for a long time that ABL Off was smoother in the Zeldas, but loses perhaps 20% speed).
If your machine is not fast enough to maintain 60Vi/s, probably a good idea to turn it back on.
Some chance this affects stability, as not as many people have been playing them with ABL Off.
