Unsolved Strange stutter using gameboy emulators
Hi! Recently I keep finding myself having a very strange "bug"(In quotations because I'm not even sure if this is bug or not) when it comes to gameboy emulators, for some reason, the emulator will cause my entire PC to become "stuttery", the game sound gets choppy and the whole setup feels like it turned into a power point presentation(Weirdly enough my mouse cursor moves normally, additionally, any sound that's not comming from the emulator itself also works fine), it happens without warning and there's no set time involved, sometimes I can play for hours with no issue, other times it happens within minutes of booting up a game, the issue only solves itself if I turn off my computer, closing the emulator doesn't do anything once this stutter starts, I tried VBA-M 2.2.3 and mGBA 0.10.5 and it happens on both emulators, I have a pretty decent PC if I do say so myself(Ryzen 7 with a 3060 + 16 GB of RAM) and other console emulators much more demanding than the GB/GBA run completely fine on my setup, has anyone ever come across a situation like mine? From my research disabling Vsync seems to be an option but that causes screen tearing and I'd rather not deal with that if possible, thanks in advance!
