[Other] [pokeyellow] How do I make FAST the default text speed?

Instead of having it set to MID as the default.

So in the file engine/menu/main_menu.asm at line 125 we have a function called InitOptions. What it does should be rather obvious. I've copied the contents below:

InitOptions:
	ld a,1 ; no delay
	ld [wLetterPrintingDelayFlags],a
	ld a,3 ; medium speed
	ld [wOptions],a
	ld a,64 ; audio?
	ld [wPrinterSettings], a
	ret

The line of interest to us is the line with the comment "medium speed". Looking at the file for the options menu (engine/menu/options.asm) I've found that the options for speed are 1, 3 and 5 (1 = fast, 5 = slow). Check the function at line 99 to see where I looked for that.

Thus, to set fast as the default text speed we edit the InitOptions function to load a value of 1 for the default text speed instead of three. See what I mean below:

InitOptions:
	ld a,1 ; no delay
	ld [wLetterPrintingDelayFlags],a
	ld a,1 ; fast speed
	ld [wOptions],a
	ld a,64 ; audio?
	ld [wPrinterSettings], a
	ret

Tested it myself and it works. ;)

Thanks so much for your help again Lost! My main problem was I was looking hours for it in the wrong place (engine/menu/options.asm)... changing stuff with trial and error getting nothing but errors and glitches. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and showing me what to do! :)
