Problems with Mario Kart (Linux)

[postman]

I have used zsnes in the past very successfully but a few years ago on windows. I have just installed it on Linux (Ubuntu) and have been happily playing Donkey Kong Country but I have problems with Mario Kart. I don't seem to be able to pick up coins or weapons when I drive over them and the game crashes.
Has anyone else experienced this or have I just got a dodgy ROM ?
Thanks in advance,
jonny

zsnes v 1.42
Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn

I suggest you to compile 1.51 for your own good. If you are not sure your rom is good, obtain NSRT @ http://nsrt.edgeemu.com and post its output here.

Bad ROM.

Many thanks,
I got a new version of the rom and I'm happy again!

Believe it or not.. I once had that same rom and had the same problem.

I've had the same issue as well with Super Mario Kart. Coins and weapons cannot be picked up and the game usually crashes before the first lap.

Also, the sound effects when selecting races and your character are incorrect.

Rrr.... now to get a rom that works....

Yep. Bad Rom....
