I just checked with a recent compile of baseline MAME to see if this still worked
Using the "-nothrottle -syncrefresh -refreshspeed" combo of command line options locks games to whatever your refresh rate is with no tearing.
So things like the Mortal Kombat series runs at ~109.7% speed but for everything near 60hz, it works fine. No tearing at all...
At least with an nVidia drivers.
So at least some of your trouble is that you're just not trying to solve your problems. You just want to bitch about things.
