Mario Paint

My sister misses this game, so I got it for ZSNES but I can't get past the startup screen because there is no way for the game to detect a "mouse". It'd be cool if it detected the computer mouse but it doesn't lol. Is there any way one of y'all develepers can try and fix it, or is it just totally impossible? (btw I use a PS2 Plug and Play controller adapter to use my PS2 controller with it) I didn't know if this went in Controller Help or not but it seemed like a program problem.

Thanks, hope it can be helped.

Try pressing 7, until there is a message on the screen that tells you that the mouse is being supported for player 1.

I just checked, and you just need to press the 7 key once for the mouse to be supported.

Oh thank you, pressing 7 once worked!

If you add an NSRT header to the the ROM, it'll automatically enable the mouse when you load the game.

How do I do that? I've heard of it, but I have no idea...

The long way:

You can download NSRT 3.3 RC2 here (nsrt33w.zip). Extract it into its own directory, and move the Mario Paint ROM into this directory. The filename extension of the ROM should be ".smc". Create a new textfile there (called go.txt or any name you want), and enter these lines:

Code: Select all

@echo off
nsrt -addnsrt *.smc
pause

Change the extension of the textfile to ".bat" and double-click it - the ROM should now have the NSRT header. Move it back to your ROM directory.
