Tetris: Speedhack is a modified version of the classic Tetris game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This hack alters the game's framerate by converting it from MMC1 to MMC3, enabling precise scheduling of game logic. It optimizes the code, allowing for various speed settings such as 72hz, 100hz, and extreme rates up to 360hz, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
This hack effectively changes the framerate of the NES, which allows for some very interesting speed options for Tetris.
This hack converted Tetris from MMC1 to MMC3 to take advantage of its *scanline counter*, which lets it schedule polls at arbitrary intervals with remarkable precision. To help facilitate this, the code was optimized by a factor of 3, now spending less than 10 percent of a frame actually executing logic compared to the original 30 percent.
Currently it can divide the frame into 6 equal parts without running into issues, which allows for plenty of speeds to experiment with, like 72hz (6/5), 100hz (5/3), and even 360hz (6/1) if you're feeling adventurous.
