Run in background?

Post by CloudRider »

Would it be possible to add to the code so that the emulator can continue to accept input from the keyboard or joystick even when ZSNES isn't the active window? That would be awesome, since I have a dual monitor setup with my TV...then the girlfriend can game while I surf the 'net. I'm nearly certain I saw an emulator with that ability before but I can't be sure.

EDIT:
By the way, if this already is a feature and I'm just missing the ON switch somewhere (I didn't see anything on it in the documentation), please feel free to smack me around like the noob I am. :D

Right now that's not possible, there are a couple of work arounds, but they depend on your videocard.

Try searching the board for more answers, it's quite common request.

Forgive me, but...how can any given video card have an effect on allowing an application to continue to accept joystick input as the non-active window?

I should have thought to search the forums as well, my apologies. I'll do that now.
