Little Magic freezes on ZSNES v1.51

Post by twipley »

Rom dumps of the Japanese cartridge of Little Magic bearing a CRC32 of 9654194d seem to suffer occasional freezes at the level-selection screen.

Those seem to be especially prominent on the latter levels, though they sometimes happen on the earliest levels.

Workarounds include using other emulators, such as Snes9x and bsnes (the latter requiring a performant machine).

It would be a dream for one to put his own hands on a quick fix for that one, though.

ZSNES is really a demarcating-in-some-details entertainment-system emulator piece of software.

(See the 500292-passworded level, for instance -- pressing select after firing up a few bubbles.)

Hmm. You would not believe how many times such things have been said to me -- I am losing count. :D

You are probably best off using SNES9x, it is unlikely a fix will be out anytime soon.

Sir, my mind is not a play field -- now it has gotten itself all boggled up.

See, I am laughing out of hysteria. Pixels are attacking me -- I am a computer with teeth.

Happy new year 2012 everybody,

Just a quick note that I am offering a few bucks to the first one that ever gets to integrate a hack fix for this to the v1.51 executable.

I am not rich but if you want to settle a deal contact me. Just a little sum to basically motivate some (random) developer towards my own ends.

Indeed, implying it is a simple fix.

I do not know about that. The only thing I know is that one of the hacks included in previous versions was fixing it. It is such a port I am interested in.

...so then why not just use that older version?

Some things mentioned in the changelog make me not want to.
