An explanation about Frame Skip

Its under development and is normal that some games flash, and show some "black" screens when frame skiping is activated.

Also in the frame skipping settings is better to use small "skip count" and "skip rate" numbers that big ones...

As example skipcount=1 an skipRate=2 is like:
draw,skip,draw,skip,draw,skip,draw,skip,draw,skip,draw,skip....

But skipcount=2 an skipRate=4 is ike:
draw,draw,skip,skip,draw,draw,skip,skip,draw,draw,skip,skip....

Both will draw the same amount of frames but 1/2 is smother than 2/4 as 2/4 will look choppy and uglier than 1/2.
