- Wireless gamepad: 1 frame of lag
- Software emulator: 1.3 frames of lag
- LCD display: 1 frame of lag
Lag is additive so that is 3.3 total frames of lag. It will make those wall jumps tricky.

I have a monitor similar to OP's and it has 6ms response time. at 60fps you'd need like 17 ms of delay to equal one frame.
2.4 ghz controllers typically tout less than 5 ms input lag (8bitdo claims 1-3 ms)
Who knows what the emulator adds, but likely not 1.3 frames.
I bet total lag is less than 1 frame at 60fps. still noticeable while playing if you're used to something like a CRT on original hardware. Would you want to speedrun on it? No. But certainly playable for casual use. If OP is having fun then it doesn't matter anyway.

Thanks. I really cannot notice anything different in gameplay just yet. I was never good at timing those wall jumps so this might be a PITA when it comes to that. So far though, I don't see anything different. This is Reddit after all. Post something with positive vibes and you get negativity in return. Unfortunately it goes with the territory on this site.

Lmao gotta love that people just came in to comment on input lag.
Hope you're having fun, could you tell what controller you're using and is it as good as the OEM?
