This would typically be something you would ask in the Project64 forums, but I may be able to help

In Project 64 there are Audio plugins (sadly I'm not near my PC so I'm going off very old memory)

U should be able to change your audio plugin, then inside that menu is a configure option.

When I get home (in 10 long hours) I can verify for you.

If your using vista try adjusting your sound buffer from 1024 to 2048 . Also try a diffrent sound plugin

hmmmmmm,i had a bit of a look in audio plug in but it only was like a start WAV file recording thing!!!! oh im not running vista only xp.

Are you looking at the Audio Plugin settings for Project64?

I'm not sure what the Start WAV File recorder you are referring to.

Also, have you upped your buffer size as Brian mentioned? (even if you are on XP)

And lastly have you review the Project64 Documentation?

Ok , i have tried to change to the other sound plugin! Im unsure about this sound buffer? is it a windows option, or is it a project 64 option?

I did find one buffer thing, it was like 1 to 10 so i maxed it to 10, but that has not made any change to the audio glitching!

its mainly in music on the games, every 3 seconds it will glitch! !

one other thing nothing to do with sound, are mame games ment to be just as good in graphics as the original arcade machine? because i have a funny feeling i have something wrong... some games look good, but like mortal kombat games look YUCK pixelated and one other thing the writing when you first boot up a rom, in the box the test is very blury looking,in full screen bu have it in a window its fine!!!

im using a benQ 21" lcd monitor.... is this just a matter of playing with different res settings ?

it gets a little confusing to me anyway when you have mame display settings and sizes and then you have game ex stretching and size settings also!!!! hahaha

im only new, i think i have alot more reading to do!!!

YAY my I pac2 came today... just waiting on buttons and sticks now!!!!

Try adding this to your mame launch command

(Advanced MAME Settings)

MAME Options:

add this to the end...

-resolution 1024x768

This will force all MAME games to use the same resolution and should fix your problem with mortal combat.

Also, check out this thread on the Project64 Forums, they have some good information on how to fix the gliching and may be able to lend a hand with working it out.

Games like mk and most others look that way because your view a low res images at very high resolutions. To get it to look like it did when it came out use an arcade monitor. Or you can use other builds of mame that add smoothing effects.
