Game speed hack prototype; still WIP
#Game Speed Hack
#Increase x86-64 game by 2x by overriding mach_absolute_time
#May not work on games that call gettimeofday or something else instead
#May not work on games that don't call a time function at all (these areee badddd)
#May also not work if the function is referenced in more than one executable image (eg, local library)
#This is not very robust

How exactly do you tell it which process to target?
