choppy and repeating audio

Post by raku »

I just got vba-m and downloaded a pokemon emerald rom, but when i play it there's this issue where the sound is choppy and repeats, i don't really know how to explain it. I've googled around quite a bit and am not sure how to fix it. I have attached a video showing the issue, the reason it pauses is im switching the output api, i start with directx, second one is openal, then xaudio, and as you can see there is no difference, except with xaudio, it gets worse with that. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

it's choppy because it isn't full speed, the buffer is starving.

 

what are your specs?

It will be choppy if the performance is under 100%

 

Alternatively, you can use VBA-M svn1030c from my modification, it will make the sound smoother by adjusting the sound pitch to follow the performance (or was it to follow the throttle setting, i kindda forgot :shy: ) with the exception of DirectSound8 (because dsound8 doesn't have pitch setting)
