[ZsnesW0907]we can't see more than 39characters in Load Menu

Hi,

by exemple, i try to load: Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Past (F).smc
i only see: Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Pa
The problem: I get a lot a Roms with names up to 39 characters, i keep these names because they come from GoodSnes.

is it fixable ?

nb: sorry for my poor English... i'am French.

Not trying to sound rude or something similar but... What's the problem with it?

It's not like you can't figure out which game is it with the first 39 characters.

You can always shorten the name.

Perhaps one day the GUI will have a variable width font, although right now the GUI is very hard to modify.

39 characters is far more than enough. Anyone who uses 40+ character filenames should be shot.

Try "zelda3.smc".

Rename it to: zelda3.smc. Problem is solved.

so you have many different roms that are all now named (whatever that says) or you have 20 copies of zelda 3?

here's the solution. if you have windows 98, simply double click the zelda whatever.smc, a box will open up asking which application you want to use. click browse, and go to the folder with zsnesw in it. now whenever you want to play a rom, simply double click the file.

if you have windows xp, the only way I found to do this is to make a .bat file, and inside you put

@echo off
start /DC:\30gig~1\emulation\snes\zsnesw zsnesw_wip1206.exe %1

the 'start /d' tells it what directory to begin in, so maybe yours could be like 'start /dc:\zsnes zsnesw.exe'

so make a file called zsnesw.bat, and inside put these two lines:

@echo off
start /dc:\emulation\zsnes zsnesw.exe %1

make sure to leave a space between the colder name and the executable's name.

Use NSRT, it has an option to rename with long or short names.

Why not?

It's cool to play the game as it was in different regions to see how it differs. Even though it is pointless to even do so.

Pointless and painful, as most french translations are just horrible.
The next time I see 'Trap' translated as 'Trappe' in a game I'll hunt down the localization team.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean, like playing a japanese, an european and a american game to see the diference, but come on! Those are too many!
