1.29 VERSION PROBLEM

Post by NalmpChupone »

i recently had a problem with my zsnes. occasionally, the game will slow down greatly, and it will take a while for it to get back to normal. i have verison 1.29. i tried getting the latest version, but there are a bunch of glitches and bugs such as:

the entire game is multicolored

the screen is cut up into 2

WAY to slow

can anyone help me?

if i get a lower version, like 1.25, it will run as smooth as butter (i gotta stop saying that), but it will crash occasionally.

Hey. You can probably find the answer to your question in the ZSNES documentation, which is included in the zip file ZSNES is distributed in.

Hope this helps.

The FAQ will answer that question, provided that the Doc Team has already put that in. Update your video card drivers.

The documentation is included with each release of Zsnes. Of course, running an ancient version means you have ancient docs. I recommended getting the documentation by downloading the latest release of Zsnes and unzipping it. You can also get it via CVS, but that isn't exactly easy.

And to fix the 2 screen problem, change the resolution of ZSNES. And make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card.

Maybe... HE is the one who travel to the FUTURE....

... Honestly, try using the latest versions. If you are using Win 98, try using the Dos Ver.

Quadruple-posting is evil. Edit your old post; the Edit button isn't there just for looks.

Switch on the grayscale option. For some reason, Zsnes plays snes games in colour.

NalmpChupone, they are messing with you because you did the following:

1) Post a message regarding the usage of an OLD version of the emulator.

2) Not read the documentation that comes with ZSNES (when you look in the zip file that comes with the recent version of ZSNES, there is a folder called docs... in this folder is the documentation - which needs to be read by a web browser)

3) Not following suggestions, one of the suggestions to your problem was updating your video drivers... you totally ignored this suggestion (which is a bigger problem because it is something stated in the documentation anyways)...

Once you figure out what you are SUPPOSED to do.. then noone here will ridicule you.

Yeah, everything Deathlike2 and Evan said. And to more specifically address certain issues, I'll point out that the problems you have with the latest version of ZSNES are probably all caused by the same thing: the messed-up display. All you need to do is follow snkcube's advice with the CURRENT version of ZSNES, and it should be fine.
