Notes on performance
Rewind and Fast Forward capability should be disabled while playing PSX as performance may suffer greatly.
PAL/EUR games run at 50fps, NTSC/USA/JP games run at 60fps. This is by design and as per original hardware.
Some titles (e.g. Looney Tunes Sheep Rider, Jedi Power Battles, and 2xtreme/espn extreme games) need to have
SMC Checks
disabled or games will eventually slow down and crash. Go to RetroArch Quick Menu (MENU+SELECT while in-game), selectOptions
and toggle on(Speed Hack) Disable SMC Checks
