Description

In BizHawk's Genesis Plus GX, the PCM desyncs in some frequencies, which doesn't exist in upstream. Now, this causes TiTAN Overdrive 2 music to be desynced, but this may affect other games I don't know.

Research direction

The issue identifies BizHawk's Genesis Plus GX core and a PCM desynchronization affecting some frequencies, with TiTAN Overdrive 2 as an example. Begin by locating the core's PCM handling, compare its behavior with upstream, and reproduce the affected music case. Done means the desynchronization is resolved without regressing other frequencies; no file or test is named in the report.
