Ok, here are my findings:

Newest stable (hotfix) RetroNX, using pre-configured PCSX Rearmed config, FAT32 SD card. Settings are as follows...

-16:9
-Integer Scaling disabled
-Sound interpolation disabled

Resident Evil Director's Cut:
Video: Some graphics glitches. Examples: Selector Box in inventory missing lower part, first zombie encountered has no right arm. 59.3-60.4 FPS.
Audio: Some audio stutters. Example: during dialogue, there's a stutter every half-second. Worse during cutscenes. Watching the beginning video was awful. Using "switch_thread" or "switch" for audio driver makes no difference.

Skullmonkeys:
Video: Flawless. Solid 60 FPS with no graphics glitches.
Audio: Same issue as RE: DC.

Kurushi Final/Intelligent Qube:
Video: PERRRRRRRRFECT!!!
Audio: PERRRRRRRRFECT!!!

Final Fantasy IX:
Video: Runs great, even during FMV's. Some minor glitches, but I don't remember if those were in the original or not. Will compare with my disc/PSX. 60 FPS.
Audio: Same issue as RE: DC. Worse during FMV's.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skateboarder:
Video: Great! 60 FPS.
Audio: Same issue as RE: DC. Mute it, because it's awful hearing music like this. Sound effects do not seem to be affected.

Vigilante 8: Unplayable. Crashes RetroNX.
Video: Cannot test, crashes RetroNX.
Audio: Cannot test, crashes RetroNX.

Tomb Raider: Unplayable. Crashes RetroNX.
Video: Cannot test, crashes RetroNX.
Audio: Cannot test, crashes RetroNX.

So yeah, those are my findings. I'll continue testing games that others haven't reported and post my findings.
If you are not yet apart of the discord server, please join. Read rules, and repost there. That would be very helpful as I can track results better

For those you you wanting to help with compatibility and testing. Please use this format when reporting: Game/Status (no way, playable, or perfect)/Avg FPS/ Settings config and Core config/ The version of RetroNX (stable or nightly)/ Any other notes you have

Also make sure you are using stable build. And also note that submitting to the discord server makes things easier on me, as I can keep track better

Thank you

Megaman X4 is working great in PCSX ReArmed, standalone build, latest of this post. Basically full speed, with minor audio stutter occasionally, but nothing really too noticeable. Only really happened when the Dragon showed up as Zero in the first half of the first stage. Gonna play through Magma Dragoon's stage and see how that runs. I used default settings, btw.

Edit: About the same story for Magma Dragoon. Gonna test other games.

Actually, I didn't know you need to load the core before starting the game for PCSX. The latest one works fine for me when I load the core, but you need to find the game manually again. It crashes the system when I try to load it from the quick menu even after loading the core.

Same exact thing here.

Well, yesterday I just beat Golden Sun 1 with the VGA-Next emulator. So yea, that works quite well, just a few sound issues, and some of the battle magic effects not displaying.
