this might sound like a noob question but... me and my friends have been playing with zsnes online for about 2days. We realized that we weren't playing eachother but a weird simulation of what we might do. i would descrbe what was going on in my screen and it's completely different from his screen. i am lost and have some to the conclusion that we are playing eachother on parallel universe. help me.

You weren't syncronized for some reason. This can lead to some pretty fun arguments where both are 100% sure they won.
"No I won, I played as Fulgore and I won!"
"Yes, I know, and I beat you three times in a row!"
"Graaaaah!"

Don't use the official v1.42 of ZSNES for netplay, it's broken.

Looks like the NES version of Double Dragon 1 or 2.

No, it's from a game were you played as a prisoner who tried to escape from a POW camp.. I think the name was "P.O.W." Great arcade game, it was soo bad, it was good.

Either 1.36 or 1.42n (Which is based off 2/2/2k5 WIP, iirc)

thanks man. but sadly i still get lag. we end up roughly 10 seconds apart from eachother. i switch to 1.36, both of us did. He's hosting w/o a router while i'm using a router. we tried playing around with the netplay settings and it would work for like 2 or 3 matches then it goes gay on us. I seriously dont know wtf the problem is.

You both need to have the same version of ZSNES.
Check if router has ports open for ZSNES.
You need to have the same version of the ROM for the game.

Go to http://zsnes.ipherswipsite.com/special/ and get the special netplay build of ZSNES (version 1.42n).

Here's something weird and moderately interesting about my avatar; it's named Pow.png but when I made it I did not remember what game the screenshot was from, I named it "Pow" beacause it's a guy getting punched in the face in the picture.

About as weird as when I typed "Samurai Spirits" in a search box but the window was temporarily deactivated by something when I was typing. so when I pressed enter and looked up, the page said "Sorry, but we could not find any results for Samus."
