Duckstation !!exclusive!! — Vib Ribbon

| Problem | Solution | | :--- | :--- | | | Drop internal resolution to 1x Native. Disable anti-aliasing. | | Custom music has no sound | Ensure your WAVs are 44.1kHz 16-bit stereo. Mono or 48kHz won’t work. | | Audio is stuttering / crackling | Increase audio buffer to 128ms and enable "Sync to Output." | | Game crashes when entering BGM mode | You loaded a disc image that lacks a proper TOC (Table of Contents). Re-create your .cue file correctly. | | Input feels laggy | Disable V-Sync in DuckStation. Enable "Exclusive Fullscreen." Disable any controller overlay apps (like Discord Overlay). | | PAL version feels slow | Switch to the NTSC-J version (60Hz). Alternatively, enable "Overclock" in DuckStation to 120% for PAL, but this risks audio desync. |

The holy grail for Vib Ribbon fans is using their own MP3 collection. DuckStation does not natively support MP3. You must convert your MP3s to or FLAC (lossless is preferred for timing accuracy). vib ribbon duckstation
