ZSNES Black Screen

Post by Kn0p3XX »

Hi guys.

I just downloaded ZSNES 1.42 to play with my friend some games, because Netplay works here and we decided to play some games.
But i started the .exe i got surprised with a black screen. It don't any accept buttons i press, its still black. Theres exist no .cfg file.

Compatibly mode don't fix it or even run as admin...
Other versions have the same problem.
(Did i have a graphic drive problem, maybe?)

So i'm here now and i need your help!

Thank you.

did you download zsnes from the official site?
what OS are you running?
what is the installation path?
what graphics hardware do you have?
Why yes, my shift key *IS* broken.
