IIDX 11 RED - 15 DJ Troopers: Song selections load too quickly, causing minor bugs

[DrunkMonky]

Hello, I was curious if it's possible to introduce an intentional delay on song loading for IIDX 11 RED - 15 DJ Troopers. I've tested the usage of an SSD and SATA drives rated at 5400 - 7400 RPM; No notable change in decreased load speeds were found.

Every other supported IIDX game including prior 9TH and 10TH styles don't exhibit this issue.

Issue:
Possibly related to the speed of modern hardware (?) Song selections load too quickly and cause certain bugs for the mixes listed below:

• 12 Happy Sky: Quick loading of the song breaks the ability to adjust SUDDEN+ for the first stage
• 13 Distorted & 14 GOLD: Quick loading into a song breaks visual overlays for that song
• 11 RED & 15 DJ Troopers: No side effects noted other than loading too quickly

Issue Reproduction:
Setup any IIDX mix with noted bugs above and select a song with overlays on it.

Specs:

• OS: Windows 10 Home x64
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core Processor 3.20 GHz
• RAM: 16 GB
• GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 TI XC

have you tried set frame limit to 60?

Yes, I've used 59.95 FPS and 60.0 FPS but no change is observed.

Some games have implemented a "minimum load time/delay" before the song starts, others haven't because the devs relied on the hardware providing a (more or less) fixed delay back then. I can't think of an quick and easy solution for this at least right now.

If anyone figures out a specific and safe way or decent heuristic to address this in a hook, maybe similar to how BG video stretching is fixed, I am happy to give this a review and eventually merge it.
