"run" won't work

No matter what key I configure as "run", ZSNES doesn't seem to respond, but as far as I can tell, games where other keys do something at the opening screen respond... so if there is a menu, I can move up and down but I can't start the game.

I'm running v1.51, I'm pretty sure I've run it before without problems on this same computer.

You need to be more specific on what you mean by "run".

You need to load a game to "run" it.

Ah, I'm sorry, I mean "start", the equivalent of the "start" button on the controller... I think it is working as "start" + "select", because if I hit "shift" + "enter" together a few times, I can get a game to reset... but I can't actually play any games because "start" on its own doesn't seem to respond.

There are many potential buttons to start a game with, usually Start, A, or B.

You have to try them when the game is at or done with the intro/logo sequence.

Next thing you're telling me is that you have a problem with starting FF3.

I don't remeber any problem related to starting FF3us.

Yeah, I was just playing it too and I didn't have any issues like that.

Maybe you are having some type of issue setting the key you want for "Start"? I know when I first started using ZSNES I had that issues. It seem overly complicated before I just took the time to closely and read instructions.

It's a commonly confusing one, since pressing start on a fresh copy acts.... odly

If there's no saves, it automatically starts a new game when you press start.
Unfortunately, a new game begins with the demo sequence that you just saw when you turned it on, and doesn't diverge until after the mode 7 credit sequence.
So many people assume something is wrong with emulation of FF3 because it appears to reset.

Not to mention "start" doesn't work IIRC. You press A.
