• Use integer scaling, custom aspect ratios, and CRT shaders for authentic visual reproduction.
• Audio latency settings in RetroArch and ALSA/PulseAudio configuration affect responsiveness; lower buffer sizes reduce latency at the risk of audio glitches on weaker hardware.

Marcus leaned back in his chair, the victory complete. He had built the ultimate emulation box. An x86 beast that could play everything from Pong to Tekken 7, passively cooled by the silence of the server room, running on an operating system stripped of all bloat.
