Audio Stutter on Gamepi20 with MAME
-
I have a Gamepi20 from Waveshare and in general love it. However, many MAME games (older ones like BurgerTime and Moon Patrol) have a severe audio stutter. I've already overclocked the Raspberry Pi Zero that the unit uses and that fixed nothing. Is there a way to change the audio settings to make the audio less demanding? Or is there a better MAME emulator to use for a Pi Zero? I'm currently using lr-mame2003-plus. Thanks for any help!

From what I remember, mame4all-pi is pretty lightweight.
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/#mame4all-piIt states
"Although this is an old version of MAME it plays much faster than the newer versions and as the Pi is rather CPU underpowered it was chosen to get as many games working at full speed as possible (full speed means 100% with no frame skip). It also plays most of the games I'm interested in playing!"Not sure if that would fix your audio issues though. Might be worth checking this:

@Floob Thanks! Mame4all isn't a libretro core, so all configuration for controllers would have to be done separately, which is why I've avoided it so far. But maybe it's time to revisit...

Have you tried
lr-mame2000? Should be less demanding than Mame2003.
