Try using 1.42.

I just did, same thing happened.

I also noticed another bug (which I remember being in earlier versions as well). I loaded each of the Battle Stadium games. However, only the first one I loaded showed up on the recently opened list (freeze data is off). This happened with other games as well, though I don't remember which ones at the moment.

Small GUI bug, I believe longstanding but never fixed:

In the video menu, if you have a Kreed or HQ filter activated, you have to uncheck it before you can enable Interpolation, but the other filters can be enabled without unchecking. This is a little annoying, hopefully fixable.

I searched the bug tracker and it wasn't there.

SNES9x has the same problem as the lates ZSNES when running Yoshi's Island

SNES9x has the same problem as the lates ZSNES when running Yoshi's Island

There is no bug here, you have an interleaved rom, and support for interleaved SuperFX roms was removed from both Snes9x and ZSNES. Use NSRT to fix the rom.

[zombiegod]

Forgive my poor knowledge of this program. I downloaded it but have no idea how to use it!

Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance.
Rob.

[Clements]

You need to run it from a Command Prompt, i.e.

Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt

Raname your rom to YI.smc and then put your rom in an easy place lie C:\, along with NSRT.exe.

Then in Command Prompt type:

cd\
(This takes you to C:\)

nsrt.exe YI.smc -deint
(deinterleaves the rom)

The GUI version of NSRT is way easier but outdated.

[Nach]

nsrt.exe YI.smc -deint
(deinterleaves the rom)

Won't work.

However
nsrt.exe -deint yi.smc
Will work.

There's a GUI that comes with NSRT 3.2.

P.S.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Tactics Ogre (V1.2) (J)

The status screen is black, except for the L and R tabs.

Nasty issue. Temporary fix is to enable 'Old GFX mode 2' in the options, and use the old graphic engine (disable 'new graphic engine').
It should work fine then.

Nasty issue. Temporary fix is to enable 'Old GFX mode 2' in the options, and use the old graphic engine (disable 'new graphic engine').
It should work fine then.

The fix you described is acceptable as the offending screen is now shown
correctly, but the roster screen before it is now slightly broken; the blue
backround for each character box is black on the unselected row (I have
only tried this near the beginning of the game, where there are less than
two rows of characters).

Not to complain though; the game is totally playable with the fix or on
SNES9x; my enjoyment of the game is hindered far worse by my rather
shallow knowledge of Japanese.

EDIT: Adding two more bug reports.

Then you could have guessed that the problems, despite looking similar, actually had nothing in common.

The fix you described is acceptable as the offending screen is now shown
correctly, but the roster screen before it is now slightly broken; the blue
backround for each character box is black on the unselected row (I have
only tried this near the beginning of the game, where there are less than

Yeah, it's only 'temporary', to make the game playable. Like the old 'remove transparent layers to see where you go' when zsnes didn't have transparencies.

Hoshi no kirby 3
Screen goes black
Happens with 1.42win
System: WinXP SP2, nVidia GeForce 6800GT, drivers 66.93

I can't say if other games are affected, this is the only one I played recently. But here, after a while without anything special being displayed, the monitor goes black, precisely to no-signal mode (there's an LED in the front, and it turns yellow as if there no signal or when a new resolution is being set). Pressing "Esc" brings the picture back, the sound is still on all the time. "Alt-Tab"-ing out and back gives a screen full of garbage where only the moving parts / sprites are displayed correctly.

I believe this is a timing issue with ZSNES. I could be wrong though.

You are right... and as such this kind of a problem is a bitch to fix without doing a complete overhaul of the timing code.

This is the info for the last game you ran.

File: CHRONO.SMC Header: Yes
CHRONO TRIGGER TYPE:NORMAL
INTERLEAVED:No BANK:Hi CHKSUM:OK
VIDEO:NTSC CRC32:2D206BF7

This bug only appears in the new GFX engine and has appeared in every version of ZSNES to have the new GFX engine to date including the one I just tested in: v1.42. When you use the crash the Epoch method to avoid fighting the the Lavos Transformation Modes, and thus avoid a second boss fight with every boss in the game, there are errors in the animated sequence where the Epoch flies into Lavos. During the portion of the sequence where you get a first person view from the cockpit there is supposed to be a white light at the end of the burning tunnel of time (mode 7 effect), this does not show up in the New GFX engine. The control panel itself also shakes improperly in the new GFX engine. Also, when the epoch is seen from a side view the Mode 7 tunnel is not supposed to extend all the way to the top or the bottom of the screen.

To get the save state cut and paste this into your URL bar, DO NOT CLICK IT DIRECTLY:

For Super Bomberman 5, the credits for the 'bad ending' flickers also.

If you watch the full intro to the game without skipping it, it also starts to flicker, and when the title screen comes up it continues to flicker. I love this game so I hope this flickering is fixed somehow if it isn't already.
