Recently got Basilisk II working on a new macbook (macOS Sierra). Playing the game Barrack from Ambrosia software on it (256 colors) and the sound stutters in windowed and full screen mode. Are there any tips on getting smooth sound?

Thanks :smile:

Do you have windowed mode set to 640x480? This will likely improve the audio (and video).

Thanks adespoton for the advice. However, it didn't help. Other things that didn't work: changing screen refresh rate from dynamic to 60hz or increasing windowed screen size to 1024x768. Barrack is also supposed to work on a powerpc, so perhaps its worth trying SheepShaver...

Just an update -- Barrack runs smoothly in Sheepshaver!
