its auto frameskip i believe. And I think dave told me sonic runs fast because its not rendering the backgrounds fast enough? that right dave? feel free to correct me.

It runs at the same speed as a US Genesis, e.g. 30 seconds on a Genesis = 30 seconds on the GP32, however it drops frames (frameskip) to keep up.
The UK Megadrive was 17.5% slower than a US Genesis though, because of the different TV stanards. As a result when I play Sonic in emulators it originally seemed 'too fast', however I've got used to it now and the UK Megadrive seems slow.
