And 99% of the time, it works as expected, right ?

There is nothing special with the ring sound to emulate so i doubt there is any "issues" here, probably also happen "sometime" on real hardware under specific conditions.

not really... I would say that 70% works as not expected. tried turning off HQ FM, and it goes a little better but it sounds like if I grabbed 2 rings when im catching like 6

Wait, i think i know why you got this: ring sound is sometime using stereo effects so if your tv does not output stereo or av cable is misconnected, it's normal you sometime got one of two sound.

your thoughts are correct, I'm "forcing" stereo to mono, so maybe that's the problem... I'm gonna check in another TV with stereo jacks

sorry about the late answer, but you were right, fact was that the av cable was screwed, i tested last night with a new one, and the emulator just ran flawless... awesome job and good guessing skills. Thanks
