@mitu Thanks! I think I isolated the issue though: The refresh rate. I'm not sure why, but with the Pi and the same 32" LG monitor -- smooth at 60hz. When I adjusted the monitor to 50hz and set libretro to match the 2048 sample deviance went down dramatically in all the impacted emus. But I also tweaked a bit too much to be certain that's entirely it -- but that's what it seems to be thus far.

If my fix is a red herring I'll give your advice a whirl too. Thanks for another triage tip!

I am one of the owners of a GPi Case. I got as base image Super Retropie Rev. E (found it working with the unit). The unit is based on a Raspberry Pi Zero.

We don't support 3rd party images, as outlined in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
