What version of melonDS DS are you using?

1.1.3

Does the problem happen in standalone melonDS?

I don't know.

What happened?

Using same settings (OpenGL and 5x resolution scale) there are frequent audio stutters and cutoffs with the new core. In the old one, there are hardly any. I uploaded two videos comparing the two and although the stutters are present throughout the video you can clearly hear the difference and errors in the last part of the video (10s+). This is with Mario Kart DS.
