Rock-boy sound issues
« on: December 28, 2012, 03:35:01 AM »
      I have been trying out the RockBoy emulator, and its been working great, and loads of fun. But I am having some sound problems. The music to the game is choppy. Not too slow or too fast, it just sounds funky, and it jumps around allot. At first I thought this might be a problem with my ROM. file, so I downloaded a fresh one but to no avail. I looked at some of the settings, I checked out frame skip, color pallet (those are fun ;) ), ect... But I still can't fix the sound problem. Can you help me?

That sounds like the emulator isn't able to run fast enough to keep up with the game. This is the case for lots of games, Rockboy is not particularly optimised and the devices are not that powerful.

Is that why it cannot run GBA.ROMs? (game boy advanced games.) Becaus there, well, too advanced for the emulator.

Do you even read the replies to your threads?

First of all, yes, I do read them. Secondly it looks like you didn't, because my question was, that the GBAs are too advanced, meaning there too much for the emulator or the mp3 to handle. And that is clearly what Torne said in that reply link you posted.

No it isn't. I said it can't emulate the GBA because the GBA's hardware is completely different and so it would need to be a new emulator.
