How Do I Keep the Game Boy/Color Cores From Desynching?

I had low latency mode enabled, which causes the system to be more choosy about your display frequency. The main cores I'm having trouble with are the GB/C ones, which desync when I'm anywhere other than the title screen of a game. I have an AMD Freesync monitor (Gigabyte M27Q X), but setting VRR to 1 doesn't seem to solve it.

There’s a setting in the core itself called something like “sync video to core” that needs to be turned on.

Gameboy/color have a "buffer" setting that is also important.If it's off, HDMI video will drop whenever software turns the screen off, which was often done when loading/switching to a new screen.

Forgot to mention that I want to keep low latency mode enabled, i.e. no sync to core. I have a freesync monitor, and it would be amazing if I could use it for this purpose.

I think it’s just how the game boy screen was where it could turn the entire screen on/off at any given time. No matter what vsync setting you use, the core will just do this unless you turn on the “sync core to video setting” as far as I know.
