What "Speed Up" typically means
Playing a Pokemon fan game is often much more comfortable with a controller. Since RPG Maker XP has limited native controller mapping, you will need a third-party key-mapper to bind your desired speed up button (like M ) to a controller trigger or bumper. Option 1: Using JoyToKey (Recommended)
Press the controller button you want to use for fast-forwarding (e.g., Right Bumper). JoyToKey will highlight the corresponding button in its list. Double-click that highlighted button in the software. Assign the keyboard key to that button.
Unlike games played on VisualBoyAdvance or DeSmuME, RPG Maker XP games natively lock their frame rates to roughly 40 frames per second (FPS). The software does not include a built-in turbo button. If you try to map a hotkey through a standard emulator dashboard, it will not register. To force the game to run at 2x, 4x, or higher speeds, you must manipulate the engine’s internal frame rate or clock processing speed.
