I've never seen KEGS show scan lines.  At any rate, that's not a
feature I expect to offer because it just makes the video harder to
read.

I get 120 MHz on my Core 2 Duo iMac 2.4 GHz.  Make sure you've not
turned debug mode on, which slows things down by a substantial amount.

Sweet16 is not open source.  Due to the fact that CodeWarrior is no
longer a viable development option, and the assembly code was all
written to take advantage of CodeWarrior features, the PowerPC version
no longer uses the assembly core, and instead the PPC and Intel code
is both generated from the same C code.
