Is it legit to use Max. Pre-rendered Frames set to 1?

Any sort of driver-related setting? That's fine. Messing with your driver settings has nothing to do with any particular Touhou game itself.

The vsync patch? Technically not fine, because it's modifying game files, and especially for a gameplay benefit. Perfectly understandable, actually, especially for games made after Eiyashou where input lag is far less of an issue. Most people hate input lag so they use it anyway, but if you flaunt things like the vsync patch around places like royalflare, you're probably going to get banned from those places. It's kind of an unwritten rule that most people use it but they don't advertise it.

Hello again, thanks also for taking the time to pitch into this thread :)

So, that's awesome about the driver settings, another confirmation is always nice :)

Regarding the Vsync patch, there's some contradicting information from my scrounging around the web, and also nintendonut888's post above. Look here at what I mean:
https://www.reddit.com/r/touhou/comments/9e291n/is_using_vsync_patch_in_touhou_6_cheating/
and also this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/touhou/comments/78zwvn/is_using_the_hitbox_patch_considered_cheating/
It's a thread about the hitbox patch, but in it Yatsuzume (who is a highly respected player, he hit all the main games from Touhou 6 - 16 Perfect Lunatic! I think he's the best player I've ever seen) states the following:
'Vpatch is allowed for WR and other high-level runs that you want to be acknowledged for.'

The Vsync patch also has the added benefit of fixing the Touhou 10 Marisa B Power glitch. Wouldn't the Vysnc patch in truth be doing the same thing as what Max. Pre-rendered Frames set to 1 is doing (i.e. reducing input lag), or better yet G-Sync, or buying a monitor with very low input lag?

The Vysnc patch is technically fixing a problem which shouldn't be present in the first place, and which probably wouldn't be present if using a CRT monitor?
