Neo Geo annoying audio bug?

Unread post by Insert Disk Two »

I am noticing that every now and then, when I launch the Neo Geo core, games come up with no audio, does not happen every time but enough to annoy me. Happens even from cold boot. Usually I would just relaunch the core and then sound would come back.

Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks!

PS. I am using the launch CORE method for Neo Geo then load the game ROM from there

Are you using the latests neogeo core or the "Arcade" Neo Geo core. If the latter its hopelessly out of date.

I have managed to replicate the issue (using the official latest ROM) also on "official" DE-10 Nano MiSTer setup, putting my mind at rest that its not a hardware issue with my Pi.

I will start testing the unstable you provided. Another thing I have to remove from the equation is the fact that I was using UniBios 4.0, maybe that is causing issues, I have now reverted to official BIOS to check if the problem will still go on.

If my mind doesn´t trick me, I´d say that some sound issue on the core was related precisaly with the UNIBIOS. Or at least I read about it on GitHub several months ago.
