Freezing while playing EarthBound ROM

So, today I was playing the EarthBound ROM on ZSNES v1.51. I had never had a problem playing EarthBound on ZSNES before, but today my game froze twice. I could not move the characters, bring up the game's menu, there was no sound playing, nothing, and when I restart the ROM it brings me back to the point where I had last saved. The second freeze was very frustrating as I had just beaten the final mole in the gold mine in the desert near Fourside

ROM information:

This is the info for the last game you ran.

Before posting something like this.. there are five golden questions to answer...

What did you do specificly before the game lockups?
Is the specific lockup repeatable?
Does the lockup only occur on the newer versions of Zsnes or all of them?
Have you tried another version of the rom, and does have the same effect?
Does this happen in other places in the game in the same manner?

Also, it would be useful to use NSRT to check the information of the rom...

The ROM seems fine, but there is not enough information provided to diagnose the problem.

It is impossible to analyze a post that has zero useful information.

Mod edit: Don't tell us where you got it; not only does it break the board rules, we also don't need to know. Really.

Please read the stickied announcement in this same forum. Then give us more information about the rom you are using.

Does the freezing happen in ZSNES versions prior to 1.51?
