could you please elaborate on the arm_freq issue?

Sure. This setting controls the maximum kernel frequency that the governor will use.

However, it overrides the default, which for RPi3 is 1200MHz. In effect, it is throttling the RPi3 to have the same maximum cpu frequency as a RPi1.

See https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Overclocking for details on the settings.

It is best to leave the config.txt as bare as possible, only overriding system defaults if there is a reason to.
