      Ok...I'm using this video as reference:

      DK is running flawlessly on his Zero. The only difference: He's using a composite monitor, not a PITFT. Could that actually be the reason why mine is running crappy?

                @Endprodukt I've read that the PiTFT screen can't keep up with some of the games but the analog composite screen works fine. The PiTFT is software driven and any load on the Pi could cause a slowdown of the screen refresh and sound distortion.

                  @glennlake makes absolutely sense... I whish I'd knew earlier. I tried to find a composite screen with 2.4" without luck.

                    @Endprodukt The smallest composite screen i've found is from GearBest. I have ordered this screen and am waiting for its arrival. (The world is a small place unless you need something brought to you from the other side). Here is the link,"http://www.gearbest.com/development-boards/pp_29447.html" I think this is like the one used in the video you linked.

                      @glennlake He used the Adafruit one. How did you make it work on 5v?

                        @Endprodukt I haven't received my screen yet but what I was thinking of doing was to use an up-converter to raise the 5 volts to the 12 volts it needs. You might check with wermy on this forum. Here is the link to one of his youtube vids that may help. "
