I got it to slow down by setting frame skipping to automatic.

Hopefully if anyone else has this problem this helps.

 

All VBA incarnations have the same problem and there is no solution but setting frameskip into automatic.Although, this is not a complete solution.
VBA will try to adjust emulation speed to 100% but there will be times when it won't be able to do so.

If that's a mayor for you, i recommend using >>BGB<< as a GB/GBC/SGB emulator.
All VBA incarnations are good GB/GBC/SGB emulators but they are not the best.
[IMO]
>>BGB<< is a better GB/GBC/SGB emulator than VBA or VBA-M.

 

I have Throttle to "No Throttle" and Frame Skip to "No Frame Skip" with "Automatic" NOT checked. Games run at the normal 100%.

I find that if I have Automatic frame skipping turned on, the sound becomes choppy even if the game is still running at 100%.

 

If you want GBC/GB emulation that VBA's forerunner VisualBoy would be a good place to start.

 

enable audio synching.

simple as that.

 

There is a simple answer. Go to Options->Emulator->Synchronize and make sure that's checked. Also, in the same menu, make sure that Speed Up Toggle is not checked. That will fix your problem completely for every game.

Mine is running at about 400%-500% and synchronize is checked and speed up toggle is off. It did this last time and all I did was redownload it. But I want to know how to fix it instead of redownloading it every few days.

Edit: Even when I set the throttle to 100% and the Frame Skip to 0 it not only gets really choppy but when I play a game, half the time if I do a certain action the entire thing freezes up. Also at the beginning it takes a few seconds to load the actually game, the screen starts off gray and then the speed goes between 3000%-5000% rapidly.

 

There's no way audio synching is enabled if it runs that fast.

 

I had the same problem, but I got it fixed. Many ppl say u have to set ur throttle to "No Throttle," but they're wrong. Set it 2 100%, and ur speed should be fine. Make sure "Vsync" is checked (In "Video").

 

I had this problem, I fixed it by going to Options:Audio:Output API:Synch Game to audio. I turned that off then turned it back on and Viola! it was fixed.

 

Okay, So I don't know if your sound is playing but if not (Or even if it is) go to [Options -> Advanced] And change the sound device to OpenAL or whichever one works and it should slow down to normal and music should be present

 

in newer versions of VBA-M (like the 2.x versions), OpenAL option is no longer available. I use XAudio2

 

For anyone reading this, and still havnnt fix the problem its the sound, just turn on ur sound, I had my sound off and the game runs fast if the sound option is clicked off.
