Vba sounds much better had an issue for a second where fps went really low and had to exit out and restart.
snes sound is crackly but when i disable vsync its alil better just 100X speed lol

Vba is getting bad fps after a couple mins with roms goes to like 1fps and sound chugs

Reducing audio latency by 1 fixes that.

The audio buffer runs perfectly, so it never needs to sync it up lol.

That forces it to sync up, but that will fuck up VBA. Well fuck

Only needs to be done for SNES9x, not VBA.

@m4xw, yeah that fixes it mostly, but there's still minor popping.

EDIT: As soon as I posted that, SNES9x slowed to an absolute crawl before completely halting. Had to go back to home menu.

Should fix it:

https://git.m4xw.net/Switch/RetroArch/VBA-Next/pipelines/474
https://git.m4xw.net/Switch/RetroArch/libretro-snes9x2010/pipelines/475

Just started the build

Edit: Where's my beer?

Btw, the close bug could be related to https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx/pull/120

And threaded docked seems to be way more stable, I only had one crash when I tried to replicate it for a bug report and I actually had trouble causing it to crash lol

At least the sound seems to be fine again for SNES. No crackling.
Have had it randomly hang at the menu trying to get into a game though, so, there's that.

Look the pull request I posted, thats not related to my fixes. Seems to be a libnx Bug / race condition

Close/Load content (always use Save states in addition on threaded!), Quit RetroArch, changing video_threaded or audio_latency all re-init the drivers (and can thus cause the problem)

Yeah, I didn't get to see it because lol page didn't refresh.
Interesting. Early days, I guess :v

You quoted it!
Anyway audio seems fine on both cores?

Frame rate too? Or are there still improvements left to do

Vba fps and sound-> well
Snes 2010 fps and sound -> well
games (Super FX ) Starfox and Starfox run slow

Idk who is working on MAME2003, but it took a downgrade it seems, I just obtained the latest pipeline, games like Rayforce & Mortal Kombat II are all of a sudden sluggish? Would anyone know who I should contact regarding this port? Thanks!

Nobody maintains it.
Don't upgrade your versions if you don't see the need.
Could be you've used a threaded build before, but I am not done fixing my updates. Just starting to backport the fixes from today to the stable branches, that should give us a nice performance boost.

 

[infidelity]

Yeah I was skimming through the Pipelines, checking for latest updates, thinking everything was improvements, I'll reobtain the version from the 1st page of this thread. Thanks!
