RetroArch’s run-ahead setting turns Super Mario World into a modern platformer

Most people love to revisit older games from their childhood, especially ones they have fond memories about. But while most of the classics they grew up with were fun to play, and possibly still fun now, some of them may not feel as good as modern releases. This is often due to various frames of lag or other factors from when the game was developed and released. But those who play older games through emulators such as RetroArch have a new setting to play with that makes older games feel new. It's the same game you know and love, but with a little help to make it feel better to play.
