I think some still do.

I do, although mostly for dev purposes.

Others here I know do, and I'm sure they'll respond when they see this.

I do use Zsnes DOS. It is great for us old school fans, and I think it has better compatibility. I think all zsnes versions rock. But, if someone stopped making Zsnes DOS, the last Zsnes DOS will be my treasure.

My system specs:
AMD 5x86 100 MHz running at 60 MHz due to MoBo error.
8086SX coprocessor
48 MB RAM
Seagate 520 MB HDD
Seagate 110 MB HDD

So I prefer DOS versions of any program I like. For example:
Zsnes DOS
NSRT DOS
Warcraft II (DOS)
Shippy 1984 DOS
Blackthorne freeware demo (DOS)
Corncob 3D (DOS)

And other DOS programs

I like DOS.

I use zsnes DOS in my AMDK-6 450mhz running win 98... In the office when I don't have something to do.

Until recently, I did, with games that were heavy on the graphics. Now that I have a faster machine I use wzsnes exclusively (also because I've got win2k installed).

Every once in a while, I'll bust out some DoS based ZSnes on my laptop.
Specs:
Windows 98SE, unofficial sp1.5
200MHz Pentium MMX
32MB RAM
2.somethingGB HDD (Too Lazy to open Window$ Explorer and find out)
Only problem with it is that the sound will go out sometimes, but it's good

My uncle has an old Pentium Pro 200 MHz with 96 MB RAM. It is still using the DOS version of ZSNES.

I still use it sometimes to test something, but not to play.

I do, on my old machine. Don't kill it yet.

I sorta use it but I actually use SNEeSe more then it even though it doesn't have all the features of zsnes.

I do often because it's the only thing that has a debugger!

From what i've gathered, is that the DOS version is only used for old systems that can't quite run the Windows version yet, and also for the debugger

and i haven't used the DOS version for a LONG time

Like the last 2 posts, I use DOS for the debugger... rather USED.... cant run it now sadly.

I haven't used the DOS version since I purchased a USB gamepad. At the time I was using Windows 98.

I still use it on my old machine (p200mmx), just to gain some more frames when I use it in pure dos mode...

I can't, my OS is Windows XP.

However, I wonder if DOSBox...

Mexandrew · Post by **Mexandrew** » Sat Oct 02, 2004 7:24 pm

I think DOSbox supports Zsnes DOS.

ipher · Post by **ipher** » Sat Oct 02, 2004 8:21 pm

it might, but why would you ever want to use dosbox for ZSNES Dos?

NiteFox · Post by **NiteFox** » Sat Oct 02, 2004 8:50 pm

DOS old-skool user here, yo.

The only time I used ZSNESW was when my old graphics card couldn't support VESA1 in DOS, and Front Mission required transparencies to display the field of play correctly.

Otherwise, DOS ZSNES has been my primary emulator, even if I can't get past the fucking Yoshi race in SMRPG...

To use the debugger in WinXP.

Nightcrawler · Post by **Nightcrawler** » Sun Oct 03, 2004 5:00 pm

You can run ZSNES DOS in XP well enough for the debugger. Run it in a standard video mode(I'm currently using 320x240 ModeX) with sound disabled and it runs fine.

I use it all the time like that with no problems.

If your debugging task requires audio, you might not want to try in WinXP (torture!).

No offense, but why would anybody bother making their programs work on machines with 10-year-old processors? lol

Because not everyone has a new computer?
