Description

A couple forks of 4DO included basic multi-threading support by placing certain emulated components in their own thread. Given the code isn't built from the ground up to work in that fashion it's not clear this will significantly improve performance if synchronization is regularly required but given the low level nature of the emulation if certain behaviors can be split to separate cores it could help.

This feature should be optional.
