NES games running slightly fast

Hello, I noticed today that my classic NES games are running ~1.1X the normal speed. The music sounds lightly out of pitch (fast) and the gameplay is also a little fast. I played non-NES games on other non-NES emulators and they all seem normal. The “fast forward” button is not depressed. I am running retroarch 1.7.3 on a windows 7, 64bit machine, 16gb ram. Anyone else having this issue? I may reinstall and try default settings. Is there a way to reset the retroarch to factory settings? Thanks!

Are you playing PAL games, by chance? RetroArch should always run at 60 fps, which approximately normal for NTSC games but ~15% faster than PAL.

If you want to return RetroArch to default settings, just move your retroarch.cfg to another directory and see if that fixes the issue.

what core? if your using quicknes, that does not support speed for PAL roms…

I was away from the form for a while. (I am a light user of retroarch) Last week I noticed that 1.7.4 was released. I uninstalled my old 1.7.3. Whatever the issue was, it was fixed. Thanks for all your responses.
