Great compatibility tested some Games (mostly Win CE Games) and all seem to boot fine! (Dino Crisis, Soul Reaver, Resident Evil 2, Tomb Raider 4). The only thing I would suggest is to switch the menu confirm button to a instead of b

Even if I change it to Puru Puru pack, it doesn't vibrate. Is vibration support not available yet?

The flycast NRO standalone dowloaded from flyinghead.github is better than the Flycast core of Retroarch?

MvC2 still running bad... last Flycast core + Retroarch for Switch run it better, but when many sprites and effects appear, it turns unplayable

Hi, I am playing around with flycast right now (standalone and in Retroarch) on Switch and so far everything works great. But I keep having Sound problems (stutters and crackles) in loading sections (which is ok) but also in videosequences, for example in the Sonic Adventure Intro.
Is there a fix or do we have to live with it for the moment?

I googled a lot and allready tried different settings but could not find any solution.

you need to overclock to fix those issues but it works better on Lakka

I could not find overclocking in the standalone version so I tried in Retroarch. Sadly it did not work. If I recall correctly I have to install Linux or Android for Lakka. Not sure if I want to do that.

Lakka is a standalone package, you just drag and drop, no need for any formatting/partitioning etc... And yes, flycast performance is better overall in lakka. But your problem does sound like a simple OC issue. If oc doesn't help, then probably its a compatibility issue or something like that.

Btw, you can overclock any app, not only within RA. Get sys-clk and read how to use it.

If I remember correctly, this happens when using dock mode. It can be fixed in retroarch with a multithreading option, not in the core config, but in retroarch.

idk why people bother with in app overclocking I meant with sysclk and I know for a fact it does work and has happened with just about every game I've tried before overclocking code veronica has the issue during cutscenes for example. the only in app overclocking you should ever bother with is core specific overclocks which most cores don't have. you don't install anything for lakka you just boot the image from hekate

Thanks for the help, I will try lakka and sysclk

old chdman versions are known to make bad chd from gdi, check if that's the case

i have redownloaded chd file from archive org but it still not changed (sega dreamcast menu). I also try download newest retroarch but still the same problem
Edit: What you said is true. The zip file failed to loaded in retroarch and flycast did not recognized it(only bin file and chd file appeared) Do you have any solutions?
