Good work guys.

Excellent build. Great work as usual. That sound problem is indeed fixed.

Ah, another WIP release. Great job once again devs.

This first bug in my original post hasn't been fixed in the new 2/10 WIP version.

Savestate not able to load properly under SRM Check+Save in Windows+DOS port.

To reproduce:
1) Load ZSNES
2) Make sure SRM Check+Save is not enabled, the Snapshots directory can be undefined or defined to any other valid directory other than the ZSNES directory, and that there are no savestates in the ZSNES directory
3) Load a game (best to use a game that does use SRM aka "battery backup" like FF2)
4) Save a state (via F2)
5) Quit ZSNES
6) Load ZSNES
7) Enable SRM Check+Save
Load same game used in Step 3
9) Load save state immediately (via F4)
10) Wait approximately 10 secs
11) Attempt to load save state

You will get an error message at this point. Seems to only occur in the Windows+DOS port.

If you attempt to save a savestate at this point, you will find a savestate in the ZSNES directory.

This does NOT occur when using the save/load state features in the GUI. (If you substitute the load savestate via the GUI, there is no problem.) This is probably a directory problem. (ZSNES tries to find the savestate in the ZSNES directory instead of the snapshots/savedir.. which is the actual bug)

I've found some interesting details though..

Also, if you hit F3 (after step 10), then it works normally.

If you goto the GUI after the bug occurs (after step 10), it works normally as well.

The part of the bug that is obvious.. ZSNES somehow changes the Savestate dir in memory after 10 secs occur (under the steps I have laid out). Perhaps, it is forgetting to change certain variables when SRM Check+Save is enabled when no ROM is loaded. It works fine when you change the option when the ROM is loaded.

A different bug though (occurs in Windows+DOS port and in 1.42 through 2/10 WIPs):

It is impossible to directly change to Interpolation when you have already selected another filter. However, you can change to any filter from Interpolation. Eg.

Interpolation -> HQ mode = OK
Interpolation -> Super2xsai = OK
But
HQ mode -> Interpolation = NOT OK
Super2xsai -> Interpolation = NOT OK

ZSNES Linux 2/10 Linux - Posible bug:

I push F1 to bring up that menu. I then hit ESC without doing anything and ZSNES freezes so bad that I have to kill my X server and restart it to get going again.

Somehow I think I'm the only one having this problem but just in case...

You may want to quote who you are responding to....

Not responding to you, as I'm not touching bugs in the two sections you reported right now.

Well, it didn't fix the issue. I compiled ZSNES with the 2/10 WIP source code and an updated gui.asm, but the video mode changing with spacebar problem is still there.

Public CVS lags some hours behind dev CVS.

I dowloaded the file 10 hours after the commit. And the file was a different size from the WIP source anyway.

Just so you know beginning with the 2/10 WIP if sound is enabled when you launch ZSNES and you are playing an mp3 (or anything) in windows it will cut the sound off. However if you disable sound in ZSNES it will come back. It is no longer possible to launch ZSNES and listen to uninterrupted music.

Uncheck the use primary buffer option.

It wasn't checked.

I found that it created sound anomlies for me. High pitches were spiking in sound. It just made things sound bad. For me, shutting the option off fixes it but the sound is now messed up for my friend Matt either way. The game we were playing was Tetris & Dr. Mario (U).

Heh, I'm actually geting on these new releases, I've been getting lazy with all my updates recently...
This has been stressed before, but, good job.

EDIT: WTF... I unzip the Windows Binary and I see no docs... s'up with that?

Good work regardless of the few bugs that were found.

Hi, I am new the the whole emulating thing. Anyway, what are these WIPs that I see? Is there somewhere that has a FAQ about them? If I download it, do I just need to get the newest update and where do I install it to? Thanks.

creaothceann · Post by **creaothceann** » Fri Feb 25, 2005 7:10 pm

WIP = Work In Progress. They are the newest update.

You better install each of them into their own directory.
