ZSNES Freezes during load

Retne · Post by **Retne** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 1:09 pm

Well I've had zsnes for a while now and have enjoyed it. Then I went and got a psx emulator and that's when zsnes stopped working.
When I attempt to open zsnes part of my screen goes black and zsnes "Stops Responding" and I have to kill it(via CAD). Any idea what's causing this?
The psx emulator is ePSXe.

edit: ZSNES ver. 1.42, I have the latest version of DirectX and my color depth is 32bit.

System specs:
AMD 64 3200+
MSI Neo2 Platinum
GF Ti4800SE
SB Gamer
2x512mb Patriot XBLK
WD 120GB IDE
Maxtor 200GB SATA

Were you trying to load ZSNES+PSX at the same time or something? My only suggestion is that you reboot your comp.

No I wasn't trying to load them at the same time. I have rebooted

Delete the .cfg+.dat files ZSNES generates and see if that helps.

I have done that as well.

Did you read the FAQ in the docs about the black screen issue?

Retne · Post by **Retne** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 1:42 pm

Yes I have. I've updated my video drivers. I have tried alt+enter. I've tried all of that.

Well, you could try a WIP from http://zsnes.ipherswipsite.com

Hmmm, the only other thing I can think off the top of my head is to either reinstall DX9 and/or disable+reenable DirectDraw/Direct3D/AGP acceleration in dxdiag.

I'll try a reinstall of DX9 I have the exe some where so it should only take a sec.

EDIT: Nope didn't work. I guess I'll try a WIP but I don't even know what those are lol.

PSEDIT: The DOS version of the WIP seems to work for me. Thanks for helping me hammer it out lol.

The windows version should be preferred, if it works.
