Make sure refreshspeed, under "CORE PERFORMANCE OPTIONS" is set to 1:

#
# CORE PERFORMANCE OPTIONS
#
autoframeskip 0
frameskip 0
seconds_to_run 0
throttle 1
sleep 1
speed 1.0
refreshspeed 1


"OSD VIDEO OPTIONS" section looks like this:

#
# OSD VIDEO OPTIONS
#
video auto
numscreens 1
window 0
maximize 1
keepaspect 1
unevenstretch 1
waitvsync 0
syncrefresh 0

Finally, ensure triple buffer is turned on under "FULL SCREEN OPTIONS":

#
# FULL SCREEN OPTIONS
#
triplebuffer 1
full_screen_brightness 1.0
full_screen_contrast 1.0
full_screen_gamma 1.0


The above works perfectly for all games tested, including Metrocross, with no screen tearing (and no sound hiccups/skips), full screen, utilizing HLSL turned on with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti at 'default' settings with baseline MAME 0.164 64-bit, having an ASUS monitor locked at 60 Hz.

The downside is the game runs between 98-99% speed instead of the full 100% (As would be the case for any game slightly above 60Hz). However, it is smooth as silk and a 1-2% speed delta may not be even significant (or even noteworthy) for many.
