I haven't done any VM programming since a while, but there's
definitively an high-res timer available. Check the available
public docs.

What you may be experiencing (and what I also experienced) is
that done of the available free emulator support timing/HALT
properly.

I have released 4 games and all of them were properly timed
but are running too fast on emulators, while they're running
good on a Visual Memory.
