Just relogged after years of absence on this forum: still not dead? Really?
Are Pagefault and the other members of the team still around this boards?

They still visit the forums from time to time. It'll be out when it's out.

Really? its been two years. At the very least, re release the exact same program as 1.5.2, saying that the version number changed in the changelog.

That reminds me, we should do a poll of the stupidest things that have ever been posted on this board.

A lot of stuff changed since 1.51. When we release the next version, it's not gonna be 1.52.

What sucks is it probably won't fix the problem of glitchy let's plays where they still use the version they got like 8 years ago

If current source is better than the current release, what is the argument against release?

There is something to be said for "release early, release often". I've been using zsnes (btw i'm too stupid to learn the name of the emulator) and various ports of zsnes for years and years. I love the emulator and I appreciate the work done by developers because I know good emulation is very hard to achieve. However, when we're approaching five years without a release, you do certainly have the appearance of a dead project. Meanwhile, snes9x has a release with the past few months.

sweener2001 · Post by **sweener2001** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 3:21 am

after how many years of inactivity?

also current source being better does not equal current source being release ready or stable. better is such an ambiguous word.

What makes you think it is ? Seriously, you make it sound as if we're preventing people from enjoying the thing, why would we do that.
We can't release something that doesn't work, and it's not gonna fix itself. Not trivial to fix either, so newcomers can't really help. And telling us to work on it doesn't make us magically free to do so. Priorities, dood.

Meanwhile, snes9x has a release with the past few months.

Why would that matter ? It's not a race. It also provides fresh updates for people who can't wait patiently, so it's great for everyone.

what the hell do you define as patience?

don't know about the others, but i reached a point where i'm pretty sure you guys are just trolling us.
that the project has been dead for years and you just wanna see how much longer you can mess with people - for the lulz

sweener2001 · Post by **sweener2001** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 7:12 am

what's five years? how quickly could you translate tens of thousands of lines of machine assember into c++? while maintaining your real life.

if it never comes out, it never comes out. i personally come to these boards for the community, and not to know when 2.0 (maybe 10.0?) lands.

blackmyst · Post by **blackmyst** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 10:47 pm

One of the reasons I still come here is nostalgia, this was the second forum I ever registered with on the internets (first was Gamefaqs).

I'm not really very anxious for a new Zsnes release anymore since I got a snes powerpak, though whenever it does come, I'll obviously be rushing to check it out the moment it's released.

Gonzo · Post by **Gonzo** » Fri Oct 28, 2011 2:51 am

Yeah same here. I don't come to this board because I'm waiting for the next release of zsnes. I don't even use zsnes anymore. I come to this message board because it is actually the first one I ever signed up to, and it's always been a good place for a laugh or just to see what's going on with everyone.

Patience is being able to wait for any amount of time without trying to boss around people who are working on something as a hobby.

Nah, if we were trolling we'd be advertising all the cool progress and how close it is to completion and bullshit like that. Straight up honest stuff here. It's not dead. It's not ready anytime soon either.
If you can't wait, use other emulators. If you insist on exclusively using ZSNES, please be patient.

I come here for the rare conversation, and out of habit. .p

The old wwwboard iteration of this forum was my first, and I've been banned so many times until the past 6ish years.

It's so funny that people are signing up to this board only to boss the developers around in their very first post and insist that, contrary to their belief, ZSNES is really dead. Hilarious.

I bet next, they'll start a thread complaining about how they can't get Sonic the Hedgehog to load into ZSNES and wants to know why.

I've been here longer than some of the developers and I'm not convinced it isn't dead. And Sonic the Hedgehog loads fine.
