Emulators

Here is the list below about the emulators that I am going to describe and explain you how to set them step by step.

I managed to set all of them to work properly as i wanted them to. I mean that they should launch a game using a shortcut, they should be launched in Fullscreen and possibly without freeze or any other framerate* issues, and as possible, stretched.

* a framerate is the actual number of frame per second that your monitor can display using your Graphic Processor Unit (GPU)

I don't like the V-Sync option because it appears that depending the softwares (a game or an emulator for exemple) will work differently and could cause issues. So basicaly we will set your framerate as equivalent to the frequency of your monitor (60 FPS for a 60Hz monitor, 120FPS for a 120Hz monitor , etc... )

Vsync basically synchronizes your frames per second with your monitor refresh rate. It is not bad for any component and can reduce tearing in some instances. The problem is that it reduces your FPS rate if it is higher than your refresh rate.
