ZSNES tells DirectX to switch to a 16-bit mode. This means that the video card uses 16 bits for one pixel color, so ZSNES has to modify only 16 bits of video RAM to change a pixel. Video RAM is slow, so this is the best solution.

If you don't like the fullscreen switch then you can always use a windowed mode that has the same resolution as your desktop.

SHIT! I havent used Zsnes in a while, and I started using it again recently. When did 512*448 DR Fullscreen get scrapped? That was my favourite.
