Post by Mega Blaster Holy Metal »

hm... sorry i Don't know if this has already been reported but in FFIII there's a strange thing that happens to me, when they're fleeing form the castle and terra uses magic the other two begin to talk and their heads fall in the menu, i dunno if this is supposed to happen, but its really weird

A known issue.
whicker: franpa is grammatically correct, and he still gets ripped on?
sweener2001: Grammatically correct this one time? sure. every other time? no. does that give him a right? not really.

... It's only been one day. Better not wait for the bug to be fixed before considering shaving.

Sometimes, it is more like:
"hey, we already know"
"if it were that simple, why don't you fix it yourself"
"it's not that obvious to fix"

I just noticed the same problem. and is anyone else having a problem with the Blitz attack? or am I just stupid and don't understand how it works. it doesn't give me any prompts that I can see, and the one time I got it to work I just mashed l,r,l,a and it worked, but that was when he was the only party member, now I can't mash because I'm selecting someone else's attact.

You don't know how it works. I have never had problems inputing blitz, and I play on a Keyboard. Repeat the fight in which Sabin joins you and look closer to the instructions.

Or read a FAQ.

The problem with FF3/6 stupidity... this resembles the "intro bug" reports, except with more headbanging.

When you select the Blitz command, it accepts some controller input (B to cancel input/blitz, and A to process the all the input you entered). This requires NO mashing of the keys. You simply need to learn how the command operates, seriously. Also note, that when you are entering a blitz, the battle gauge (if enabled) will be stopped.

Well, I've noticed it too.... I just thought it was weird Japanese humor. I also notice that the one I have flickers kind of bad on the world map. I got the Japanese ROM from Neurologic and the translation hack from RPGOne. (Just google it-you will find it) I suppose that's what I get for using hacks....

Use one of the later ZSNES WIPs to resolve the flickering. ZSNES 1.42 used a hack, which has been removed since. Get a WIP at http://zsnes.ipherswipsite.com

I don't want to start a new thread for this in fear that I'll get responses like 'RTFM'. But, has that weird problem with the battle menu's been fixed in the latest WIPs? Y'know, the bug that cuts off half of the battle commands sometimes. I haven't gotten to the point where it used to happen for me (Vargas Battle), so I can't test myself.

That's RTO (Range Time Over). From what I recall in older threads, it is either not implemented, or implemented incorrectly.

So, basically... I have to wait?

Or use an emulator that has it implemented correctly.

Can't remember if bsnes does that...

anomie figured out RTO and added it to Snes9x immediatly. bsnes implemented it based off of anomie's notes I believe.
Super Sleuth probably has it done too. I'm not so sure about SNEeSe, I know SNEeSe is a bit lacking in it's video department. ZSNES I think has part of it implemented, but clearly not enough. I think pagefault said he didn't implement part of it because it would break our method of C4 video transfering, but since then we fixed our C4 code to transfer the video data properly so it shouldn't be a problem to implement now.

I looked it up again - bsnes v0.18 doesn't calculate RTO flags on frameskipped frames.

Thanks for the info. :)

It does if you compile with #define FAVOR_ACCURACY. It does not if you compile with #define FAVOR_SPEED.

It still performs RTO regardless on frames that are actually drawn. The only known ROM we know of that even reads the RTO registers is the SNES Test Program Electronics Test. And the difference in speed is ~33%. I figure, if you have to use frameskipping, then you obviously have speed problems. And frameskipping provides virtually no benefit if you still have to calculate RTO status flags every frame.

This guy makes me laugh, this has been a glitch since the dawn of time. And when is your beard not growing. I've done far worse though, so don't take this as a personal insult or anything.
