Inconsistent Frames from ZSNESW 1.40 to 1.42

[JAPPsmash]

I've been playing along all versions and I've found a frame inconsistency on versions 1.40, 1.41 and 1.42.

The fps indicates 60/60, but I can see that it's running like at 55 or 59 fps; in other words, the fps are choppy. Frame buffer is perfect on 1.36, maybe you can get a pattern from that version.

I hope we can see a normal frame buffer on v1.43.

Greetins.

# Q: How come the video is choppy with an FPS of 60 and Vsync on?
# A: Your monitor needs to be set for a refresh rate that is a multiple of the framerate of the game. For an NTSC game, it's 60. You need to either set the refresh rate in Windows to a multiple of 60 (KitchenSync, see below), or start ZSNES with the -6 switch. There is no -5 switch for PAL.

Try that.

Where do I set the -6 switch?

You cannot select it in the gui, but you put it at the end of the command line prompt.
Edit: Shouldn't this be selectable in the GUI, instead of just from the commannd line?

Where do I set the -6 switch?

Make a shortcut to Zsnes and then edit it's properties.

The targte line should read something like "X:\<full path of the Zsnes folder>\Zsnesw.exe -6". Without the quotes of course.

Hey Agozer, I believe you need the quotation marks, like this:
"X:\<insert random path to ZSnes here>\zsnesw.exe" -6

I'm not really sure, since my target line does not have quotes, and it still works. Go figure... I think either way will do fine.

[adventure_of_link]

My target line had to have quotes, but, eh, whatever. Whatever works for you I guess...

Where do I set the -6 switch?

The very next question in the FAQ tells you how, except that it uses the -K switch in the example. The documentation isn't there just for looks, you know.

[JAPPsmash]

OK, that worked! I already figured out that -6 goes in the command line, didn't work, but now it does...

And now I have another problem: "Super Mario Workd 2" doesn't run on 1.42 o_O

Deinterleave it with NSRT.

Ack! the choppy frames again and I've already set the "-6" on the command line... I did it without the quotes. I did it like this:

D:\Emuladores\Emuladores\SNES\ZSNES\zsnesw.exe -6

Enable VSync and/or Triple Buffering + Auto Framerate + Frameskip at 9. Trust me.

[JAPPsmash]

VSync: Enabled
Triple Buffering: Enabled
Auto Framerate: Enabled
Frameskip: 9

Well, not the answer I was waiting for but it's really smooth Thank Godness I have a reasonably fast computer...
