Hmm not much going on in this emulation thread, but I lately stumbled over this issue and I'm sure someone knows something that could help.
I'm mostly talking about NTSC games which run at 60Hz. But apparently it's not exactly 60Hz and often a fraction off (so slightly different to your 60Hz on your Windows machine).
So let's say the console i set to 59.98 Hz and your screen runs at 60.02 Hz. Now some (good) emulators allow you to simply emulate a console that runs at 60.02 Hz. So in effect changing the speed a little bit.
MAME has this option: Sync to Monitor refresh.
This works beautifully. The scrolling is smooth and there aren't any jerks at all.
But I'm having issues finding emulators for other systems (like Genesis or SNES) that do the same thing. They often have an option Vsync, but it doesn't change the emulators underlying frequency and while you do get smooth scrolling, you will get a "jump" every once in a while...
So I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this and found solutions?
EDIT:
What about when you use a CRT monitor. Would that fix the issue?
