Qmc2 frontend for sdlmame

Hey Archers
I was wondering if anybody has had any success with the frontend for sdlmame called
Qmc2

I find it to be a great frontend, possibly the best complete frontend available, especially for kde

although, the only problem I have with it is that the Sound is Realllyyyy Choppy.... and I don't know why, or How to fix it.

I've messed around with different framerates and other options in Sound.... but thats all.....

I also can't find anything in Google or on the projects homepage on this issue......

any help appreciated.
thanx guys

ps
I might also add, that I have the same problem with Kxmame frontend, but the sound works fine with MameExecutor, although I find MameExecutor to
leave alot to be desired......
Also, I thought i'de paste the output from the emulator log when I try and run a game and exit it... it mentions an error with alsa... maybe that could be the problem?

10:26:33.228: stderr[#2]: Generating cached BDF font...
10:26:33.402: stderr[#1]: ALSA lib pcm.c:7234:(snd_pcm_recover)
10:26:33.405: stderr[#1]: underrun occured
10:26:34.635: stderr[#2]: ALSA lib pcm.c:7234:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occured
10:26:42.115: last message repeated 5 times
10:26:42.115: stderr[#2]: /usr/bin/sdlmame: line 58: 1054 Segmentation fault ./sdlmame "$@"
10:26:43.977: stderr[#1]: /usr/bin/sdlmame: line 58: 1052 Segmentation fault ./sdlmame "$@"

apart from sound, my roms work fine......
thanx

Great, I have the same problem and noone knows the solution...

Did you find one?

I just used qmc2 because it was on the repository. Others are only in AUR.

Re: Qmc2 frontend for sdlmame

When you are playing a game press F11 and check your game is at 100% speed. I had an issue with mame sound, it was crappy but it was not related to sound configs, it was because i was playing with vsync and my game it was not emulated at 100% of their real speed.

Maybe you can try mamepgui or mameexcutor, another qt4 frontends avaible in aur.
