Amstrad Emulator Caprice32 has extreme lag after update to 4.4

General

After updating Emuelec 4.3 to 4.4, the Caprice32-emulator suddenly has massive problems when started. There are audio and video lags from the bootscreen into the game(s).

Even when I load the core [1.10.1 - cap32 (4.5 9aac9cb196 HI)] inside retroarch, the same thing happens: slowdowns, lagging…

Before updating to 4.4, the emulator worked perfect [core version: 1.9.8 - cap32 (4.5 9aac9cb196 HI)]
Any ideas what could be the problem?
Is there something wrong with the cap32-core? And what to do to solve this problem? (Right now I downgraded again to 4.3.)

Is it somehow possible to use the old, working cap32-core with Emuelec 4.4?

Hope, anyone can help me with this issue…

Keep up the great work! Thanks!

Yes, that’s the exact problem I’m having!

I’m running Emuelec on Amlogic (EmuELEC-Amlogic-ng.aarch64-4.4).

The discord-link doesn’t work, unfortunately. Can you post a new, working link to the fixed core?
Would be great!

And another question: where exactly do I put the new core into the file-system? Do I have to overwrite the old core-file? Where can I find it? Is this folder correct: /tmp/cores ?

You have to join on discord for the link to work: https://discord.gg/cbgtJTu

You have to overwrite the core in /tmp/cores.

Thank you. Replacing the old core with the updated one worked! Now it’s running smoothly again!
