Ive compared Zsnes with Snes9x now i love Zsnes any day but snes9x can run SMRPG without the few problems im sure were all aware of. 1 being the slowdown when too many sprites are on the screen and for this Mario game in particular: the invisible sprites when you enter any room with a title on it I.E.: "Item shop" "inn" "Toadstool's Room". also when you read text as you talk to people in the game you get these crazy squiggles around it.

Any thoughts on fixing this?

Yep. Use Snes9x. ZSNES still has a number of bugs with the game, the two issues you spoke of are known.

Really? Both emulators should show the same behaviour.

I noticed zses being real sensitive about a lot of sprites onscreen. Noticable after the yellow switch palace in SMW when the yellow blocks are spitting out. This, ofcourse, doesn't happen on real SNES.

The slowdown issues are fixed in CVS.

ZSNES will still have issues with SA-1 as long as the counter stuff isn't in.

There was some bug introduced in CVS where some areas caused a slowdowns when the original game did/should not experience it.

Oh BTW, what is a realistic estimate for the CPU speed requirement for the new SA-1 emulation? (Some developer said 4GHz and then admitted that that was exaggerated.)

That some developer was byuu. He was talking about Bsnes' SA-1 support.

Um, I thought byuu said, "Holy crap! 4ghz+ with ZSNES? And this from an opcode-based core?" This was in response to pagefault saying, "I have a private build of ZSNES that will run Kirby's Dream Land 3 correctly, but it requires a 4GHz+ CPU." These are not the exact wordings. The "some developer" I meant was pagefault; sorry I didn't remember the first time around.

My question is: Once the SA-1 emulation in ZSNES is fully fixed, will my computer be able to run SMRPG/KDL3/etc. smoothly? See my sig. I'm willing to put up with just a little (auto) frameskip.

Wait.. I thought it was pagefault that made a special ZSNES build with working SA-1, but needed a 4GHz CPU to run ?

Smooth? It doesn't look like it. A frame skip delay of 1 or 2 will probably be needed.

I believe I said the speed was exaggerated.. not pagefault (pagefault threw the 4GHz number out though).

SA-1 emulation will require a 2.8 ghz P4 or higher or a 2700+ Athlon XP to run at full speed with no filters and default sound settings as it is. Once the new 658c16 core comes in probably 3.2 will be required.

Hmm... Only trouble I run into is the game locks when I level up, music continues though...

try either zsnes 1.36 or a 1.43 wip.

the locking up at the level up screen is a bug introduced into zsnes 1.42

No, it was introduced in one of the WIPs.
