its not a huge problem but one i would like to get rid of....whenever i play every 45secs or so the games lags intensly for about 5-10 secs and it gets very annoying and irritating. if anyone has any insight to any problems like or similiar to this plz feel free to lend your helping hand.

Do you have any programs running in the background? I can almost guarantee you that this is not a Zsnes issue. Chances are some other program is set to run every 45 seconds and it is hogging your processor.

One thing to check would be to open up the system resources program and see if there is a large 10 second spike in processor use every 45 seconds when you have no programs running. Then go to the list of processes and see what program it is. And I would do a virus scan asap.

i think i have fixed my problem. i was using a smaller resolution than my desktop res because hwen i would set up my reg resolution in zsnes i would get screen tearing. so i set it back to my reg resolution and played with the screen tearing and i play fine and then i turned on vsync and everything seems to be fine now. i really appreciate your help on my issue, it very nice to see someone trying to help another just for the sake of helping. tyvm!
