@eldrethor Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. I'm more concerned with performance than recreating exactly how the game felt on the original hardware, but I understand how those who want the pure experience go with lr-snes9x. I personally don't feel like I should overclock for SNES games (partly because I can't find a consensus on a safe OC), so I will probably be sticking with the default emulator. So far it has handled everything thrown at it, but if at any point I become more concerned with accuracy I know what to use.

Thanks

@ayeye sorry. Brain glitch. Ignore my edit (if you saw it). On RPI3 2010 snes9x is default for accuracy. (I wrote mame2003 - I have too many topics in brain)

@Rion
That did the trick! I feel kinda silly. It froze the first time I messed with it, so I didn't think to try it again. Bumping it up to 40 or 60hz, saving the game override, and resetting completely fixed a super slow laggy part.

I'm curious to know how this works.
