      Hmm maybe but it works for everything else..

      My sound with this game is also not optimal. It ischisss often.
      You can switch silence=on in the game. but thats not really a solution.

      I use the analog audio output.
      I think you are using the hdmi digital.

      So makes no difference.

      Can't tell whats the problem here.

        @folly Isn't there an option to ocerclock the CPU in px68k? Are you guys using that perhaps?
        I literally have no sound issues on this game. It's the better sounding game on the system!

          I did not change anything. I saw it was on 10mHz.

              On 25mHz it seems better !
              Perhaps a higher value is much better then.

                Can't distinguish that much difference. Perhaps I have to connect better speakers.

                edit : on 100mHz OC pretty fast with loading !!!

                      Hmmm, okay.... that is interesting. @Zering - how do you output sound?

                          Setting up some roms on my SD card while backing up my drive. You guys aren't going to believe this. My PC98 font problem is back. And the old fix doesn't work. T_T

                          Found the issue. Lr-np2kai was now looking for BIOS in bios/np2kai/np2kai/np2kai. It's comical. I found that the path for the font file recognised by the emulator was in the np2kai.cfg. By placing all the bios in np2kai/np2kai/np2kai and font.bmp at the path indicated by np2kai.cfg i was able to display text again.

                          I hate this thing ^^

                            It's sorted now though! What a nightmare.

                              @adambegood Yes! Let's sort out your X68K issues now.

                                @zering I am hoping that someone might be aware of this issue - Folly's sound being sorted by switching to Bluetooth is very interesting. I am interested to find the cause of this one!

                                  Indeed very strange. Did you ever consider to remove the np2kai completely in your retropie-setup ? And then reinstall. ?
                                  Perhaps that can fix your problem.

                                    @folly I've done that several times. I think it's all linked to the cfg file somehow.

                                      I checked my configs, was wondering where this failure could be.
                                      But I have no clue.

                                        Hi guys,

                                        Added a seperate translation thread.
                                        https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28461/translate-games-on-the-fly

                                        Edit : mitu said it already exists. Didn't expect this. Perhaps we can make this working then.

                                        Edit : now we know it works :-)

                                          @folly @AdamBeGood Either of you guys test Metal Gear 2 on the MSX2 and find that it runs pretty sluggishly?
                                          I'm playing the .dsk version and it's fine for the most part until many enemies appear on the screen, then it slows down to a crawl.

                                            I have a .cmd file working now.
                                            I have Policenauts working on the PC98.

                                            With this game we have another problem.
                                            They talk a lot. HaHa. How are we going to translate that ?

                                            I know there are translated versions. So no problem for this game ;-)
