I'm experiencing screen glitches when using retroarch and nestopia to play NES games, especially when moving right or left. The leading edge of the screen often shows a non-existent frame. This happens consistently on both sides. I'm currently running at 60 FPS with a 5700g. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I suspect this might be related to video settings. 😬

It was how the NES functioned, they relied on the far border for programming techniques because the televisions of that era displayed a smaller image than the actual picture. Back then it wouldn't appear, but now with digital technology it does show up.

The NES utilized the far border for programming techniques since the televisions of that era had a smaller screen than the displayed image, preventing it from appearing then. Now, with digital technology, the picture becomes visible again.
There are known solutions such as display cropping to mimic the original screen size.

It is recognized and there are methods to address it, like adjusting the display to match the usual size.
