emulation timing

Emulation timing covers the mismatch between a game's original internal clock, the emulator's video output, and a monitor's refresh cycle on Windows PCs. The tagged content examines how a steady 60 FPS reading in RetroArch can still hide frame pacing problems, judder, or altered gameplay, because the frame counter alone cannot reveal which clock or modification is responsible. It points to RetroArch synchronization documentation and a concrete PCSX2 patch as examples of why matching original timing often matters more than pushing a higher performance overlay number, and it frames the practical first step as identifying the responsible clock before adding graphical enhancements.
