Strange pistorm32 experimental FW issue
Hi all
The great developers of pistorm32 FW and Emu68 are trying to figure out a strange bug that crawled in with the latest improvement of the chip ram write speed hiting the theoretical limit. The bug causes the audio in a lot of demos to either stutter (repeat itself) or play random noise from time to time. Also we noticed that keyboard input is affected in the OS. I have put toghether a little video that shows these problems: [ Show youtube player ] First part shows AGD selector on the previous FW where you traverse the screen in around 3 seconds. The second part shows the same AGD where it takes twice as long to traverse the screen. The third part is Nexus7 demo with audio noise every now and then. The fourth part is the Chapter7 demo where the audio is stuttering - repeats parts of the audio. It seems like interrupts might be missing or misfiring here. If anyone would have any idea what would be the cause of this we would surely love to hear it. |

I've noticed similar issues too with my 1D4 PiStorm RPi4 setup.
Sometimes the sound starts off okay & then just craps out altogether. You have to three finger salute to reset & then launching the game/demo again, it's fine. Spaceballs Demo "Jesus Ones" does exactly what you're saying, though not every time you run it.  Totally random for me & can't see any pattern yet. I've also noticed Laggy Flipper response time in Pinball Fantasies & such. There is a definite delay in the movement of the flipper on screen after depressing the shift key to flip the ball. |

Can be closed. Claude fixed it... It was a bit too fast write to chip ram registers... Actual chip ram can be as fast as possible.
Thanx!!! |

Either way, if the sound is crapping out on Emu68-pistorm-20230427-678796.zip...... I'm certainly trying Emu68-pistorm-20230510-bdffce.zip ..... Released last week at the time of writing. Last edited by Kin Hell; 16 May 2023 at 16:15. |

@ TC666
The Beta version of Emu68-pistorm32lite completely eliminates corrupted Gfx & Sound issues for me.
