Hi guys!
I recently installed the emulator and have been playing "Bully" and I've been having audio lag/stutter problems. I'm not sure why this is happening because I have a high-end gaming laptop.
Specs:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4710HQ CPU @2.50GHZ
GPU: Geforce GTX 980M
Memory: 24.00 GB RAM
1920 x 1080, 60Hz
Microsoft Windows 8.1
I can normally play any high-end game at ultra high graphics, so I don't know why this game is not working properly. I'm not sure if maybe I have some settings wrong with the emulator?? Please help! Thanks!
what do the ee% & gs% say when you get slowdowns ?
care to post the emulog.txt after you ran the game ?

Have you tried the latest
GIT revision?
before answering jesalvein's question, make sure that you have set your windows power plan to high performance in control panel and you're playing the game while your laptop is plugged in.
I fixed it by changed my audio settings to: Hermite(better highs), DirectSound(nice), and Synchronizing Mode: Async Mix. works perfectly now
and how much did you spend on that gargantuan of a laptop?
Anyways, good thing you fixed it.
