The minimize trick is a quick work around, not really a good permanent solution. Either try using a DirectDraw wrapper for ZSNES or try using another emulator that uses Direct3D or OpenGL like SNES9x for better performance. As for the Cheats being lost, are you using the Load button or have checked auto-load in the Cheat > Browse window? If so, where is ZSNES located on your computer?

truth unknown, what and where is a Direct wrapper. I use the load button and my browser is Google. The ZSNES is in the download file. Thank you very much for all your help

It would be a DirectDraw wrapper, basically it wraps the computer calls to DirectDraw (which ZSNES uses to draw graphics on the screen in Windows) and feeds it to an alternate like OpenGL which DXGL does for example. I wasn't asking about your web browser I was referring to the "Browse" window in ZSNES that lists your cheats, but you've answered you use a load button so I'm assuming its the right one. You should put ZSNES in its own folder, but that should not be causing problems so far yet it could cause other problems later (DXGL will require it). Anyway, the only thing I can think of is, if you are using the default paths, you can't write to the folder where the game ROMs are located with ZSNES.

With Google.

Seriously, I just checked. The FIRST HIT. There's such a thing as not trying.

Bitch, you best step back from yo' caps lock and check yo' self.

Also, Gil is spelled with three letters, and I assure you I am anything but little. If you know what I mean.

Furthermore, don't get mad because I called you on your fucking laziness. If you're going to be a lazy ass and ask us to jump through hoops for you, you aren't allowed to get mad when we notice.
