mode 7 crashes ZSNES 1.50, all roms (Windows XP)

Post by Zerothis »

congrads on a very smooth and nearly [new]bug free release.

I found a workaround so my problem is solved. I post this for the possible benefit of the project.

The problem:
I had this configuration with 1.42 and tried to use it with 1.50:
Initial video settings: 1280x1024 DS W, HQ4X, Hi-Res Mode 7, Vsync, Use 4:3
When i upgraded from 1.42, i found that entering mode 7 would crash a game ("zsnesw.exe encountered a problem and must close"). Disabling Hi-Res Mode 7 would prevent crashing. Also, loading any save state created by 1.42 would prevent the mode 7 crash. I discovered a permanent workaround. after trying all resolutions and DR/S options, both windowed and fullscreen, i set my desktop to 640x480x256 and ran a mode 7 game. When I set my res back to normal, I discover all res now work fine when hi-res mode 7 is enabled and using mode 7 roms.

My specs:
AMD Athlon64 FX-60
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX
2046MB RAM
Realtek AC'97 Audio
Windows XP Home

Mod Edit: No need for the entire dxdiag output.

There is no Mode 7 bug in 1.50. There used to be a bug within 1.42 when using HQ4x and while in certain hires scenes, ZSNES would crash.
