Thanks for the reply!
I believe that's just the name of the modeline. The actual refresh does vary by console. The NES modeline for example, when using the modeline calculator (or xrandr), reports a refresh of 60.11hz.
The retroarch generated modelines seem odd to me because the picture starts right at the left of the screen (maybe 1 or 2 pixels are even cut off), and it's almost impossible to correct using the monitor settings. CRT emudriver 2 also autogenerates (with the generic_15 preset) modelines that are very close to the ones in the document.
EDIT: a picture of the bvm underscan mode that shows where the picture begins
Unfortunately I do not have NTSC consoles on hand, but I can try and compare with a PAL mega drive, since genesis-plus-gx res switching for PAL seems to work (save for 480i).
