Cant run ZSNES in VirtualBox

Post by Cronoisme »

I have a netbook 205 with ubuntu 12.04 installed as my main os. On virtualbox i have xp running and im trying to run zsnes from there. Except when i try to run it i cant select anything in zsnes. It goes from a white mouse pointer to the in game mouse pointer and vice versa but I cant select anything. Also virutal box is telling me im not on 32 bit color depth when I am. Maybe that has something to do with it? Oh and after like 30 seconds it just freezes all together.

No wait.

virtualbox > xp > cygwin > wine > dosbox > No$GBA DOS > MSXAdvance > Gem

Yeah there's no zsnes now but that's not what this is about anymore dammit.
