Question

[Wazza_inc]

i just downloaded zsnes and i just downloaded a rom. how do i play it?

[Starman Ghost]

you can't, sorry

[Wazza_inc]

what do you mean

[snkcube]

Drag the rom onto ZSNES.

[AspiringSquire]

what do you mean

He's joking. All you have to do is use the Load window in the GUI to find the folder where you put the ROM. Click on "Load" within the Game menu. The directories are listed on the right side of the window; double-click on one to enter it. Also, if you need to go "up" one level, to the previous folder, double-click on the ".." in the folder view (on the right). When you find the right folder, you should see your ROM listed in the larger part of the Load window (the left side). Just double-click the filename to start playing.

Click on "Load" within the Game menu.

double-click on one to enter it.
(...)
double-click on the ".." in the folder view (on the right).
(...)
double-click the filename to start playing.

Or, I don't know, use your fucking keyboard DAMMIT!!

I hate clicking-only advice. Click there, double-click there, middle-click up my butt. ZSNES' GUI is controlled 10x faster with the damned keyboard for god's sake.
No wonder so many people spend a lot of time in the GUI if they use their frigging mouse to move around.

I'm just aiming to provide only the information that is the most likely to be used; most Windows users use nothing but the mouse unless they are writing. I don't like to confuse the inexperienced users, so I try to give them what I know they can handle.

I personally do usually use the keyboard for loading a game in ZSNES; it is faster, for those who are comfortable with the style of interface, at least.

Don't have a cow, grinvader. Just play it cool. . . .

[Agozer]

People really should read the documentation and have at least a little curiosity to look around on their own before posting stuff like this on a messageboard.


Oh for fuck sake.

I am the coolest there is


it's true

Seriously, I knew that you wanted to reach his level, and that's what I dislike. I'm an eugenistic bastard.

Yeah, truly an omgwtf situation. How is a key setup like that possible?

[Ichinisan]

We had to shuffle the keys around a bit for the Mac version. What should we do with this extra key?

You can never have too many Ctrl keys.

Yes. They are both functional Ctrl keys. There is also another Ctrl key in the usual 2nd position.

The images on the package show:
[Ctrl], [Insert], [Alt/Opt], [special], [spacebar]
^would have been so much better

[ieremiou]

Isn't that second CTRL usually suppose to be the nearly unused and most annoying Windows/Alt/Option key? They added a key to the keyboard that's a new one. lol.

Lol, that's quite crazy *chuckles*

I've ever seen that before

I do remember an old keyboard I had with 8 directional arrows meaning 4 other ones were diagonal arrows and a blank center. It was kind handy to hit only one key instead of 2 at the time but inpractical for space considerations. It's a keyboard that came with my family's old Gateway 386 which are both still running.

I use the keyboard as soon as I open ZSNES with my mouse because it reacts fast than it does with the mouse. Been doing that for years.. Ever since I used ZSNES DOS basically.

Except, that's a Mac keyboard.

Windows+L is rather useful for me. On occasion, I use Windows+M or Windows+D.

More information required. If you want help, you have to be specific when describing a problem.

You can't find the the games, or what? Just look for them by browsing the folders within the load menu. Instructions posted above.

Windows+L is rather useful for me. On occasion, I use Windows+M or Windows+D.

Windows+Pause/Break is quite useful as well.

That reminds me... is there a site that lists all the Windows key shortcurts in XP?

Thanks for all that, but I just wanted the ones that used the actual "Windows key", not the whole fucking shortcut list. Oh well.

[Ichinisan]

Windows+L is rather useful for me. On occasion, I use Windows+M or Windows+D.

All of the above, but mostly Win+R
