Screen needs an additional refresh?

Here's what happens when i change resolution in zsnes

A pic is worth a thousand words...

This also happens when alt-tabbing back in zsnes.

You can fairly easily fix that by hitting ESC if you have a rom loaded. But I agree, it seems like something easy to fix.

Yeah, this has happened for ages. Annoying it is.

What the Yoda.

I don't have this problem when changing resolutions, but I get a similar effect when enabling/disabling VSync.

Nothing is "easy" in emulation.

well this does not seem to be related to emulation... I worked with DirectX a little bit and i think this would involve adding a line or two to the code...

When hitting the esc key, ZSnes does a whole screen refresh (... obviously..!!). It could do the same thing after changing res

Interesting, I have never xperienced that by alt-tabbing or changing resolutions. However I do experience this when alt-tabbing... Pressing Esc a couple time refreshes it just fine.

Baldho · Post by **Baldho** » Sun Feb 20, 2005 6:23 am

yeah this is nothing serious, just a minor annoyance i

believe

they could easily afford to fix in no time. I still can sleep at night

Yeah, this has happened for ages.

So true... I think this has always been happening.. even before the new gui and the winport.. well in fact, alt-tabbing always made this happen, but the resolution changing thing is quite new...

I'm growing tired of people not having an idea saying fixing stuff like that is easy. Come on, it's open source.
Share your insightful DirectX coding skills and make it stop in the SDL PORT, because it happens there too.

Pshh.

LOL!!! alright

Nah i'm not skillfull at coding with directx at all, just basic knowledge (tried some full screen things, like, refresh *wink wink*) so i actually have a basic idea...

I should have said that an easy work-around is to hit ESC. And I don't even begin to think that I know the level of difficulty to any particular thing in ZSNES. If you say it is hard, I completely believe you. I was only giving my opinion as an uninformed user.

I´ve been having the same problem. I don´t remember how long has it been like that, though.

I thought it had something to do with my gfx drivers...

I wasn't talking about you at all. Your posts have nothing wrong in them.

I was talking about Baldho, thinking that 'oh, I know how to make the screen refresh in DirectX', thinks fixing it in Zsnes will only require DirectX code. Ding ding ding !! Dead wrong. DirectX isn't used in the majority of zsnes ports.
Next please.

This happens to the pc in my Internet Cafe. I thought that it had something to do with the LCD monitor, but that was just a random guess.

What does zsnes use on the win port to render the graphics? ding ding ding! directx... what does zsnes use on the sdl port to render graphics? i have NO clue! on the dos port? No clue either.

I talk about what i know. You have no clue of my knowledge. Same thing here for yours.

In fact, why dont you just tell me it would not be easy to fix instead of making fools of people who know less than you...

Making fools of people with less knowledge is fun. Besides, I'd say about one in three threads on this forum has a "this would probably be easy to fix," "it's nowhere near easy" set of remarks.

This is true. People should not say "it should be easy to fix" if they can't do it themselves.

Baldho · Post by **Baldho** » Mon Feb 21, 2005 1:45 am

... i agree...

i'll go edit my other topic

but not this one as the 3/4 of it would not make sens anymore

Amen.
