@masteryoer do you have your tv set to game mode?

@Darksavior 2010 is set right now. I haven't tried 2003 or 2005

The options I have are 2002, 2005 and 2010. 2010 has the worst performance, and the performance is the same between 2002 and 2005. It is a lot better, but still has some slow down and lagging especially during intros and during a lot of movement. I am attempting right now to play Donkey Kong Country 3.

Do you have another SD card you can use? If it were me, I'd try to start from scratch with a new (probably different brand) SD card. I have had major slow down issues with cheap/off brand SD cards. I prefer SanDisk

I have a sandisk, It's a 16gb SDHC card.

@masteryoer 2010 does not run fullspeed on Pi2's. Not even on my Pi2 @ 1Ghz. Not sure how you mysteriously had it playable on a smaller monitor.
-
@Darksavior no idea either. I just know when I tested the configuration it ran smoothly. I tried it with a different game Though and no sound so maybe that's why.

Does your TV have different picture display modes? I know mine does. It has Cinema mode, normal mode, vivid mode, Intelligent Sensor mode, and in amongst them.... GAME MODE!
Set it to game mode. That should clear up the input lag that seems apparent when playing.

@Neo-Rio I ended up resolving most of the issues by first setting the emulator to 2005 and then overclocking the pi to 1000mhz. Once I get everything ironed out, I'll move it all over to a pi3 but just trying to flush it out now with the device I do have.

I had the same issue. The games under nes was slow and the audio was laggy.
The solution was not the resolution setting.
The solution was to change the audio driver under the raspiarch config and disable audio synchronization
