The Great Ace Attorney PC Port Fixes

Feature Set:

• Animation framerate can now be set to arbitrary rate. (defaults to 60 but can be freely adjusted in the ini; set to 30 if you prefer the unpatched game's update rate)
• Several patches so player interaction properly adjusts to selected animation framerate -- some actions would become too fast or too slow by default. The patched values can also be adjusted in the ini.
• Resolution can now be set to arbitrary resolutions reported by your GPU/Monitor.
• CPU usage on some threads is now no longer unnecessarily high.
• Reports process as High-DPI aware so it doesn't get scaled by Windows.
• Fixes the crash some people experience when trying to 'pit' jury members.
• Has option (disabled by default) to move the multi-witness slider bar, as its default position may cover up some animations.

All options are can be enabled/disabled or configured in dgs.ini.

NOTE: The game expects to always run at the configured target framerate. If you're running this on a very low performance CPU or GPU and cannot consistently reach 60 FPS, you should change the FPS setting in the config file to the stock 30 for a better experience.

Compatible with the initial release version on Steam, both the build with Japanese text support and the build without, as well as the update from 2023-07-10. Will likely stop working if another update happens.
