@beldar I don't notice tearing with SNES, NES, Genesis, Neo Geo, or Playstation. But I do notice it on Mortal Kombat 2 arcade which does run at a funky refresh rate. I also noticed it very badly with lr-flycast. Soul Calibur, MKGold, and NFL Blitz all had really bad tearing.

I'd already gotten it worked out - that wasn't really a request for more assistance.

But I thank you nonetheless- knowing the exact path to each individual Retroarch config file will likely be helpful to me in the future knowing my luck. (and skill level)

But with luck, everything is worked out and my GhettoPi Boy shall be fully online and will serve me until a Pi4 version of Retropie released and I get my hands on one. A little beyond that, actually - the first Pi4 we get will likely go into the arcade cabinet rather than my handheld.
