Just wanted some help

Post by PoweringUp »

1st - I didn't see the word 'Help' anywhere on the actual ZSNES application, and just thought it would help to put in for later.
Anyways, the main reason I am here is to ask: ...Ha, How do I use this? :lol:
I've used numerous Emulators before (PJ64, Visual Boy Advance) and when I went to 'Load' I was completely dumbfounded by what appeared onscreen.

Can anyone help? I just wanted to know how to boot up any games that I have, such as Donkey Kong Country and Super Metroid. Simple step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is (or should be) a readme that comes with ZSNES.. >.> (to be sure you get one, visit http://www.zsnes.com and download it from there)

there's also a FAQ which outlines some common issues here.
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?
NSRT here.

It's a fairly standard file load dialog, so I'm not really seeing where the confusion arises.

About the only "quirks" are that .. is the command used to move up a directory(standard behavior, although not a well-known one among modern Windows users), and there's no support for Windows pseudo-paths like My Documents.

I don't really know how to navigate, so that's why I'm asking.
In other words, how do I access the 'Downloads' file.

Oh dear....
The "downloads" folder is a directory on your hard drive. Somewhere. Windows is not very forthcoming with that information, and it varies from version to version.

I generally recommend NOT using the default Windows pseudo-directories like "my documents" precisely BECAUSE it's harder to actually find the files. Save your ROM images somewhere like C:\SNES games\ instead of "downloads"
