Need help with zsnes

poopoo · Post by **poopoo** » Thu Sep 23, 2004 4:20 pm

When playing a ROM, I can play fine, but every couple seconds the game will skip or stop really quickly, then start again.

Does anyone know how I can get this to run smoother? I'm using the windows version of zsnes.

Thanks

Maybe there's some process taking up some of your CPU time from ZSnes? Win 2k and XP pro/Win 2k3 server: CTRL+ALT+DEL, click task Manager. Win XP Home: CTRL+ALT+DEL. Once in the Task Manager, keep an eye for a process which will take CPU time from the emulator. Also, a spyware scan may do your system good. Follow Paul Bunyan's Sig for such a scanner.

Neither of those did anything. Is there anything I can do with the config of zsnes to make it run smoother?

Display system specs.
Also try faster WIP versions of ZSNES (see sticky).

upgrade graphics drivers
upgrade direct x

You could check High Priority Mode in the main options of Zsnes, but I highly suggest not doing this if the problem auctually is too many programs in the background.

EDIT: Please post your system specs also.
