#NESTOPIA SOUND LAG DRIVERS#

VirtuaNES has good sound but really horrible input latency.Īnd on top of this, I hear Nestopia 1.40 and up have some really nasty bugs in which in Castlevania, the Medusa boss drops a cross (megacrash item, not the weapon) when defeated, which is apparently not supposed to happen. This is all giving me a headache and I'm considering dropping NES emulation for good, because if I move on to FCEUX I'll have to put up with even worse sound popping and crackling and some games (Huang Di, specifically) aren't emulated properly. I'd use 1.36 which doesn't have this problem, but it turns out the refresh rate is not accurate to the real hardware, but 1.37 and up is. Ever since 1.37 there has been that sound issue in Nestopia along with some random desyncs (the sound sometimes slowly but surely desyncs from the video, and no settings fix this). So here's the issue: does anyone know if there will ever be another NES emu that will support recording through Fraps, and will this sound issue ever get fixed in Nestopia? FCEU is SO much better, I think, and I would LOVE for FCEU's authors to come up with a way to get Fraps to work with it so I don't even have to work around Nestopia's whacked sound issues. Camtasia is said to work, but Fraps seems to be more user friendly (and you know what you're getting). The issue: Nestopia is the ONLY NES emu right now (that I know of) that has ever worked with Fraps despite Fraps being around for so long. (If you change this key configuration, you can check the key binding by going to Settings > Inputs > Hotkeys). Then for increasing the volume up, press +. I trust Fraps to do what I want it to do correctly (the AVI recording in FCEU sucks and don't know if the in-program record options in Nestopia is any better). To check if RetroArch is muted, go to Settings > Audio. I want to be able to record NES gaming that I do to post on, say, YouTube. That is, except for one key problem that has now left me at an impasse: FCEU is the NES emulator I choose mostly.

#NESTOPIA SOUND LAG DRIVERS#

I have Creative X-Fi Titanium Fata1ity Pro (which many have said could be the cause: the drivers have a tendency to not be of high quality). Tried rolling back to earlier version, and I've yet to find one that has sound working properly (tried everything). Nestopia has less dropped frames and less audio glitches, nearly none.

I, too, have ran into the Nestopia 'sound cracking/skipping' issue, and anything I do to make it go away either doesn't do anything or makes it worse (even tried the ALchemy workaround, which doesn't work now because the program forces you to set duration to 5-50, which doesn't help at all). The difference appears to even affect emulator performance. As this is the only forum I've seen that people can talk about emulators and roms and not get rules about discussing them shoved down throats (so far), I registered to post a interesting issue about two particular NES emus.
