Turns black? If you mean by only seeing a black box, try pressing alt + enter.

well the screen just goes pitch black instead of loads then closes No error comes up

Hmmm, I'd suggest you google about your adblocker, although I doubt it is the culprit. However, if you have just updated ZSNES, delete the .cfg+.dat files first. Also, if I'm getting this right at all, you do not need to run any compatiblity stuff onto ZSNES....

On other thing you should try, go acquire a WIP @ http://zsnes.ipherswipsite.com

It did the exact same thing on a WIP x.x this has only been happening ever since we got a gateway computer 2-3 years ago i got sick of it not running so i came here its not the pop up blocker im sure of it. When I run Zsnes, a black box appears for a split second then vanishes. I've even tried different versions of Zsnes, new and old, also tried the WIP Version.

It's your comp somehow... you may want to list your comp specs. Processor, OS, Video card... and other relevent details...

Deathbane · Post by **Deathbane** » Tue Nov 14, 2006 10:23 am

Where do I get that info

Deathlike2 · Post by **Deathlike2** » Tue Nov 14, 2006 10:27 am

Start->Run
Type in "dxdiag" w/o the quotes.
Relevent info is displayed in each tab... System, Display, and Sound.

I was about to say to update your video drivers... but it seems very recent... but it's an Intel video card...

Buy a decent video card for your own sake. Nothing good can come out of Intel integrated graphics.

Deathbane · Post by **Deathbane** » Tue Nov 14, 2006 10:51 am

are you sure thats the reason why its doing this? can i use Dos? or a diffrent emulator?

Not really, but when you go too cheap on the hardware you buy, you end up suffering a lot more in the end.

You don't want to use DOS because you won't get sound (and that will require DOSBox or VDMSound)... and even then, it wouldn't be ideal.

There are other emus like Snes9x or BSNES that should be fine, but I'm not sure I can guarentee that the latter emu might be fine with your integrated graphics card.

He'd probably have to buy a whole new board too.

I guess i can use a diffrent emu like that and somehow connect to my friend >.<

Deathbane, you do delete the cfg+dat files before you start running a different version of ZSNES... yes?

Bahamut · Post by **Bahamut** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 12:25 pm

Deathbane, Deathlike 2 is a ZSNES developer after all.

you do have to delete the cfg+dat files before you start running a different version of ZSNES

dont tell me u dont

but if it works fine without you doing that then i dont know wat the hell is going on

1 clue-cruddy hardware=cruddy gaming.

Bahamut, this is the second time you have committed thread necromancy. If you have nothing special to contribute to a thread, don't post at all.
