      So, this is as much a "bug" report as it is a request for help.

      I was using an overclocked pi 3B+ that was updated well over a month ago. It was running just as expected with all the typical emulators working at full speed. That includes lr-mGBA which ran at a nearly locked 60fps.

      I just ran an update on all installed packages and now lr-mGBA is running at 57 to 59 fps along with annoying audio crackles. I do not know if the emulator was updated and is now more resource hungry or if it is another issue. All other emulators are running as they did before the update.

      Additionally, I removed all my overclock settings and the result was exactly the same. The overclock seems to have zero effect on this issue in either direction.

        Did you update from source or binary ? What is the mGBA version you have now installed ?

          @mitu I used the handy update all packages command which defaults to binary when available. So, I'm assuming that it updated lr-mGBA from binary as usual.

          The current lr-mGBA version I am using is listed as 0.6.1
