RetroArch: Automatic Frame Delay to reduce input latency

RetroArch is very nice but I do agree with has sadly fallen into MAME input configuration territory. All it needs is better defaults.

Maybe I haven't found the right settings, but I would say that RetroArch is significantly worse than MAME. MAME will show you the relevant inputs for the running machine, whatever they are: sticks, trackballs, button, pedals, you name it. RetroArch will show a generic configuration menu without taking into account each machine's peculiarities.

For example, I have a Megadrive-like 6-button controller and I'm trying to configure a Megadrive core... no luck, you can only configure an SNES-like controller with A, B, X, Y, L and R. Where are C and Z? Apparently you need to hand-edit some text files, and pray to the Machine God that it will work.

I think the move to Ozone as the default UI was a big step forward in this regard.
