 - Skybox size modifier. You can have 2x, 3x and 4x size skyboxes (you can select the skybox size in `config.h`.) Please note that this might affect console performance, especially 4x mode. 2x or 3x mode is recommended if aiming for console. By CowQuack *

+ * This reverb is a much more natural, ambient implementation over vanilla's, though at the cost of some memory and performance.
+ * These parameters are here to provide maximum control over the usage of the reverb effect, as well as with game performance.
+ * 
+ * To take advantage of the reverb effect, you can change the echo parameters set in levels/level_defines.h to tailor the reverb to each specific level area.
+ * To adjust reverb presence with individual sound effects, apply the .set_reverb command within sound/sequences/00_sound_player.s (see examples of other sounds that use it).
+ * To use with M64 sequences, set the Effect parameter for each channel accordingly (CC 91 for MIDI files).
