Is it possible to turn off the sound to speed up the game
Agozer 16-bit Corpse | Moderator Mar 10, 2008 #2 That depends on the sound plugin you are using. Usually such an option (if it exists) can be found in the sound plugin's configuration window.

Using the dummyaudio.so plugin (ie, turning off sound) makes the emulator run much faster because the sound controls the rate of emulation. When the sound is disabled it runs at full speed, loading 100% of one cpu core, as fast as it can go.
