Delete zsnesw.cfg and zguicfg.dat and try again.

Is there not a faq, or an entry in the docs on how to fix this?

The solution has usually been Alt+Enter...

I don't really see what's funny.

Change your res to something else through the config file.

klaymor6405 · Post by **klaymor6405** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 1:33 am

where is the config file at?

zsnesw.cfg, in the same folder where the main executable is.

ok i found that....how do I change the res in it?

Post by **grinvader** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 1:40 am

... there are limits to sheer laziness. Read the damn file. If you can't find the word 'resolution' in it, you're hopeless.

klaymor6405 · Post by **klaymor6405** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 2:02 am

ok man just chill i'm tryin....ok I opened it and I don't see anything about resolution.....i'm trying everything i can and i'm sry if you guys are getting tired of this but i really do thank you for your help....and i am not being lazy! i want this to work more than anything!!

Then you should take a while to read the Documentation forum, honestly, your answer is right there.

klaymor6405 · Post by **klaymor6405** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 2:20 am

ok thanx for the tip! do you know which forum topic i should look in? i downloaded the revised docs package but it didn't have anything in there...any help is much appreciated!

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 2:24 am

if your using the windows version then you should not look for resoloution in the config file instead look for VideoModeWin

and change its value

klaymor6405 · Post by **klaymor6405** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 2:28 am

ok thanx a looooot last question.......in order to make it work....what do i want to change the settings to? if it helps i'm in 32 bit color and 800 by 600 screen resolution. Do I want to change them all to 800 by 600?

no you are looking in the wrong place the line should say

VideoModeWin = 15

(the number for you might not be the same)

change the 15 to any other number like for instance try 7

klaymor6405 · Post by **klaymor6405** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 2:39 am

ok I found it and it was at 2.....i changed it to every number from 1 to 16 but none of them made it work, it just came up a different size and froze completely black.....do I have to do something else besides the VideoModeWin?

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 2:42 am

delete the following files

zguicfgw.dat

zsnesw.cfg

if this doesnt help try installing zsnes to a diff folder if still not workin then its your pc and not zsnes

klaymor6405 · Post by **klaymor6405** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 2:45 am

ok i'll try everything thank you sooooooo much for your help! everyone else on here were kinda mean but you really helped me out thank you soooo much!!!

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 2:49 am

no probs

however i think the reason for others not helping you is because their sick lil retards not knowing how to fix stuff themselves.

(your not one of them to my knowledge tho)

and you didnt state what version or whether it was or what type. windows, dos, or linux etc.

I will just like to note that "your" advice was said by Agozer in the *third* post in this thread. Why the OP waited until you said it again is not a very nice sign of intelligence.

Also, awful spelling mistakes like "their / they're" and "your / you're" are not sign of intelligence too.
