Does arcade romset region affect game speed?
-
Title says it all, really. If I use a Euro version of, say, Street Fighter Alpha (
sfa), will that run slower on RetroPie than the US version (sfau)?i.e. Does it work the same for arcade games as the PAL / NTSC difference on consoles? I'm unable to tell a difference by eye, so hence my question here.

@weirdh all arcade cabinets would use a 60Hz CRT (well, some arcade games are not 60Hz but that's not region specific). 50hz consoles were only a thing because of the different broadcasting standard (PAL) which was 50Hz and a different resolution, so the consoles for PAL regions had to be 50Hz (later on consumer TVs started accepting both standards and there was a PAL 60Hz mode - dreamcast was the first console i'm aware of that had 60Hz modes in PAL regions).
an arcade cabinet is not being used to watch TV so it doesn't matter :) they're just the same output all over the world.
