[Fixed]Something seems off with the audio pitch when I play Mario & Luigi, dunno why.

Don't know if "pitch" would be the right word. But here, I'll use an example.

Â

In Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, the speech bubbles have a kinda high pitched noise as the text is "speaking". Here is an example of a video I found online:

<div><iframe width="459" height="344" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RUn4eYrHT ... ure=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div>
Â

I own the game and can confirm that's what it sounds like on an actual GBA Sp/Micro. Now here's what it sounds like on my end using VBA-M:

Â

As you can tell the speech bubbles are "lower" in pitch, among other things.

Â

I've played around with audio settings and I'm gonna keep on searching around and testing other things (different roms, VBA builds, etc). I figured I'd post it here for now.

Â

Any help could be appreciated.

Hmm.. could be the buggy Channel 3 sound

nope, this game is completely Direct Sound.

Â

The difference in noise can be attributed to the difference in pc sound hardware capabilities and the fact vba-m has an adjustable interpolation slider for gba.

Â

Is it really? When I disable Channel 3 the text noises are disabled.

Â

Thanks for the responses, guys.

oh, lol well if it does have some sounds coming from channel 3.... yeah, theres a bit of an issue in some of the sample banks/voices.

Â

Channel 3 is the hardest of the channels to get working for everything properly.

I'm gonna pretend I know how things work and demand that you fix it immediately.

It's all cool. I can just use v 1.7.2 of the old VBA since it doesn't have that Channel 3 mishap.

actually, all emulators have issues with channel 3, its just more or less noticeable between them.

Â

most of them cannot do Voice 3 of bank 1 properly, while the same voice in bank 0 is fine.

Â

unfortunately the developer of gbapu no longer has time to improve on it.

1.7.2 is definitely on the "less noticeable" end of that spectrum.

adam and i tested the banks and only really found bank 1 to have problems, and there is a section of code in gbapu commented to check for issues with the bank switching and dual bank mode.

I have no idea what that means.

It's like a whole 'nother language, lol.
