It didn't require the overclocking, no. But ya, it was built into the options menu.

Randall, kinda rash statement there. Are you even a coder?

Adding the option to bump up the processor speed in the game is probably OK (seems like it would be a support nightmare), but if the game requires the CPU speed to be increased in order to run, well that's a bit lame.

I'm just guessing, but I think that's probably what Randall was referring to. That would be like someone releasing a PC game and wanting you to overclock your video card so that the game would achieve an acceptable frame rate.

I haven't seen anything in Turjah that would require the CPU to be boosted. It looked pretty smooth to me right out of the box. Which makes me wonder why they did it at all? If for some odd reason the overclocking harmed the device, then it seems like Jimmy Software could be liable? I don't need those headaches, and I'll leave that overclocking stuff up to users running the various utilities for doing that sort of thing.

I would imagine that like a lot of coders sometimes, they did it because they could, rather than because it was useful or necessary. Feature-creep with "hacky stuff" is sometimes hard to resist
