Pepperami Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 hey guys just after a little help I want to try using Retroarch instead of the Mame 260 executable for running games to see if it fixes an audio issue I used the full set importer a while back now several versions of mame ago would someone like to spare a few mins to explain how i can do this and if it doesn't work how to revert it lol would be very appreciated!!!

Retro808 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Just have retroarch added in your LB. Then edit Retroarch and in the Associated Platforms tab make sure you add the name of your Arcade platform and select the correct core. You can either bulk edit all games for Arcade and change the default emulator to Retroarch or select specific games and change only those to retroarch. Best thing though would be to find out why you are having audio issues as RA's Mame core is not better than Mame stand alone. What game is having audio issues and what is the exact issue.

Pepperami Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 Thanks for the info, not sure how to change the one game as I’m still trying to learn this stuff The game is Bank Panic, one of my favourite games to play it seems to work fine outside of Launchbox, if I just run the Mame exe file and then run it that way, plays fine and no juddering stuttering audio (not all the time but enough to be dammed annoying!) yet running it via Launchbox and the sounds sputter again and I can’t for the life of me understand why, LB is a front end and just simplifies launching games with a really nice interface i love LB but this is really nagging me lol and I cannot see a way to sort it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Are you using LB on a TV or a computer monitor? Can you test something? In LB go to >Tools >Manage >Emulators and then select Mame and edit. In the default command lines section remove just the item below. -waitvsync Save the change and then try that game.

Pepperami Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) Yeah I can try that as soon as I get home, I’m using a pc monitor and I got sooooo hooked up on that one game I didn’t test others, it’s doing it across the board 😞 I can’t think it would be any of these but in the last week I’ve changed MoBo and CPU upgraded from a 4790k to a 9900k and it also has more ram now 32GB compared to 16GB on the last hardware Also I changed out the normal 8TB hard drive to an 8TB SSD I just can’t see how any of that would affect it Edited December 27, 2023 by Pepperami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it is what I mentioned to try. I asked about a TV because sometimes the TV is set to 30hz and not 60hz. That -waitvsync messes up one of my cabinets with LB/Mame.
