ZSNES 1.51 crash with HQ Filter. Editing .cfg doesn't help!

[Bobby Forward]

Hey Guys!

I have the same problem like others, that my zsnes crashes when I'm selecting the HQ filter. I've allready changed the zsnes.cfg from

hqFilter=0
; Set HQ*x level [2..4]
; Recommended min resolutions
; HQ2x = 512x448
; HQ3x = 768x672
; HQ4x = 1024x896
hqFilterlevel=2


to

hqFilter=1
; Set HQ*x level [2..4]
; Recommended min resolutions
; HQ2x = 512x448
; HQ3x = 768x672
; HQ4x = 1024x896
hqFilterlevel=4



The result was that zsnes crashed directly while it started.

I'm using a custom resolution of 1680*1050. Changing the resolution to some lower supported ones didn't help at all.

Has anyone a clue or any solution for my problem?

Thanks

Oh I forgot.

I use Win XP with SP3 and an ATI HD 5770

I'm having the same problem, XP Pro SP3, ATI Radeon Video. Everything works fine until I try the HQ filters. Any fix to this yet??

I can only guess that backwards compatibility is being removed on newer drivers (same goes for NVidia as well).

Edit: Complain to ATI. They are struggling with other issues at the moment anyways (like, stuff that is majorly serious).

I am having the same issue, but with more modes. Hitting almost any filter in 1.51 crashes it instantly, occasionally with a "windows detected blah blah blah" error message.

Very frustrating as I used HQ filter extensively for Mega Man.


Windows XP SP2
nVidia GeForce GTS 250
AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+

I just wanted to refresh this thread because it seems there is no solution for this prob yet

Is anybody working at it or has response from ATI e.g.?

Would be very nice ...
