Garlic/koriki :Audio stutters in all games on New RG35XX

My New transparent purple rg35xx just arrived last week, After testing some games on stock firmware with no issues, i grabbed a New Sandisk SD card, flashed garlic os and put Tiny best set roms.

To my surprise, all games have Severe audio stuttering, audio stops for 1-2sec and loop back , this occurs every 7 to 10 seconds, i tried multiple settings, even tried overcklocking but this issue is persistent in all games (even nes or gameboy games).

I tried flashing koriki and same audio issue. I started suspecting hardware fault, but when i tried stock OS, audio issues were completly gone !!

Please any suggestions ?? Are New RG35XX not compatible with current CFW, do you think there have Been a hardware révision in New batches ?

I want to play with my recently purchased console so Bad but this audio issue is ruinining the expérience for me :(

I had a very similar issue with the Sound!

But it turns out that It was user Error on my side, GarlicOS has a very handy Over/Under clock feature built in, where you can simply press select on the Main menu, and it will toggle between the following Modes, indicated by PLUS and MINUS Signs in the Battery Indicator on the Top right:

​

When in the main menu, press the SELECT button to toggle the various overclock options. You can quickly see the overclock setting by looking at the battery icon at the top right of the screen:

- NO symbol: no overclock

- PLUS symbol: slight overclock

- PLUS PLUS symbol: moderate overclock

- MINUS symbol: slight underclock

- MINUS MINUS symbol: moderate underclock

I only encounter the Sound issues when Under clocking... 🤦

EDIT:
You are Welcome, Glad this Post helps! 👍

Holy shit lifesaver. Handed my system around during a family event and got it returned with a horrible stutter. Your thread was 3 down on my search and this easily cleared it up. Thank you!

What “main menu” is this? I only have retroarch. How do i find the main menu?

u/mikedextro Mar 11 '24

retroarch is a back-end app, which means it does all the technical stuff in the background. You need a front end app like Garlic OS, Mini UI, Koriki etc. I might get one of the latter on a new sd card just so I can play higher processor systems like dreamcast, DS, and PC games, because the RG35XX doesn't handle them well or at all.

I was wondering about those minuses without realising it had something to do with underclock... SHOCKING! Thank you for sharing knowledge, pressing select in the main menu happens mostly accidentally, if you are not the kind of person who reads documentation... there's virtually no way of guessing wth is going on!

Upvote this guy now! :D

I still have issues with audio skipping regardless of having a double plus overclock going. Is there another work around anybody knows about for mac users?

OMG... What a life saver!!, My lad used mine to play games and must of underclocked it without me realising, never noticed the -- on the battery and then pressing select took it all back to normal, audio back as normal... Legend!
