I have win 2000 and downloaded the dos version of 1.36. When i tried to load it it kept saying unable to enable sound. I'm pretty sure it was the soud blasters. I've seen this problem on a topic be4 but didn't pay attention to it. Can some1 help me fix this.

If you're using Windows 2000, why not just get the Windows version of ZSNES ? DOS support in NT kernel windows (NT/2000/XP) sucks, but if you REALLY need a DOS port, why not setup a dual boot between 2000 and DOS ?

Don't forget to download the latest Official Version, 1.42, at zsnes.com.

Dunno if VDMSound works with ZSNES, but it might.

Why in the internet's name would you use such an archaic version? It boggles my mind.

It's probably some stupid reason like "Yoshi's Island doesn't work in 1.42."

More stable netplay would be a better reason.

Doesn't 1.42n do the job?

For some reason, this quote gives me the impression that 1.36 is still better for netplay. 1.36 may have less features than 1.42n, but if I'm just interested in netplay, I personally could probably live without them.

No, it's just that almost evryone on zbattle use 1.36. And also Zsnes windows version lags on this comp for a reason or another. It is only a pentium 1. Don't laugh, my dad wont let me download or install anything on his computer which is a P4.

I can't help but wonder why you're running Win2K on a P1 in the first place.

if you kill some useless services, it runs quite nicely

You'd be so much better off running Win98SE on that system than Win2K... just based on performance characteristics alone.

Actually, I once ran Windows 2000 on my Pentium MMX 200MHz box... ran Jnes on it... still got a whopping 60 frames.. Also ran Super Mario World on it (using Snes9X v1.39, iirc) and got 20fps, which is about normal for it.

of course, there were times when svchost.exe skyrocketed to the max and used up all my CPU time though..
