Before Posting a Bug Report

Post by badinsults »

It is important that you follow the set guidelines before posting a bug report. If you do not follow the guidelines, we cannot help you.

1) Make sure you are using the latest WIP of zsnes (found at http://ipherswipsite.com/)

2) We require detailed information on the rom. Just saying the name of the game is not enough. If possible, download NSRT, scan your rom and paste the full output of NSRT with your bug report. If your rom is not recognized by NSRT, then it is likely that your rom is corrupt. In any event make sure you post the CRC32 with every game bug report. CRC32 is displayed in ZSNES WIP on game load.

3) If your rom has a Bad Checksum on startup, then your rom is corrupt, and any issues you are having are not our concern. (if it is a problem with a translation patch or hack, then contact the maker of that patch).

4) Be sure to give a thorough description of your problem. Just saying "x" game has graphical glitches is not helpful. Say what exactly the problem is, and the events that caused it. If it is a graphical problem, be sure that you turn off all filters to see if it still occurs, and include a screenshot if possible.

5) If you are having problems with zsnes, and it is not related to a particular rom, then be sure to post your system specs. These include your processor, operating system, ram, video card, and sound card.

6) If you are having an issue with netplay or controllers, please post them in the appropriate forum.

7) Do not bump a thread if there is no response. It is possible that we do not know how to solve your problem. Be patient.


To those replying to bug reports, please be helpful. We all know that geocities doesn't allow hotlinking, that their avatar is too big, and that thier English isn't perfect. Let the moderators deal with such issues. Flaming is not necessary, and makes this forum less useful. If you notice a bug report that does not have the necessary information, then make a direct link to this thread. Do not say "Well, you should have read this thread first", as that is very evident.
