QRD: Creators behind the romhack Scale X Fang implemented an anti-speed up function in their romhack that would detect when an emulator was fast-forwarding and start spazzing. A solution was figured out pretty quick by some, but the philosophy was pretty controversial. The hack creator and their possy argued insistently that speed-up is absolutely unnecessary in terms of grinding and players might miss out on story content.

Personally if it's a romhack with a new story/music I'll play with minimal speed-up on the first run, after that though all bets are off. I think it hurts replayability and takes agency out of the players hands unjustifiably, adults don't have the same time kids do to slog through gen 3 engine slowness.
Also some of us have ADHD and are too acclimated to speeding up at this point lol. Just my own opinions though, curious what others think.
