Problem running zsnes on Linux (Could not set 512x448 video)

Post by Radrater »

Hello:
I have installed zsnes and all necesary programs to run it without problems, but when I try to run it appear this message:

Could not set 512x448 video mode.

¿How can I repair it?

thx.

Choose another resolution maybe?

Try a standard PC resolution like...640x480!

320x240
640x480
800x600
1024x768

You might have to edit the CFG file if you can't launch ZSNES.

Open it with a text editor and set the "VideoMode" line to the appropriate value ("6" in Windows, not sure about Linux).

Overkill for SNES games ;)

Yeah, I wouldn't use higher resolutions unless I was using an LCD panel; which should be run at it's native resolution.
