Re: DirectDraw Set Display Mode Failed

The most common problem is usually causes by moving old files like zsnesw.cfg to a different computer. Whenever you use a fullscreen DirectDraw mode, it usually expects you to support the last known resolution you ran ZSNES with. When custom resolutions are not defined, there will be issues. It is r...

Re: Seiken densetsu 3 three player switch "glitch"?

I'm pretty sure these bugs are patch related, and not emulator related. You have to consider that it probably hasn't tested thoroughly in other issues. Besides, if you do the proper research, you'll find that these bugs have been there for a while.

Re: Cheats Don't Work!

In testing, they don't seem to work. I don't think the translation patch affects these things (in some translation patches they do, but not in this case I believe). There seems to be some trigger to get these codes to work since reading the cheat docs suggest that there are quirks to them. If anythi...

The workaround is to disable Windowing. It's a rendering issue (BG priority or something).

Re: Games Not Saved in ZSNES When Launched from Maximus Arca

I believe it helps to define a save path. Otherwise, it would probably have a path issue. Older versions of ZSNES are not well equipped with parsing paths (particularly if it had spaces in it). So, if you have a simple path like "C:\Emulators\SNES\ZSNES\Saves" (w/o the quotes), you will pr...

Since Maximus Arcade is a frontend for ZSNES, you probably should learn to use Maximus Arcade. It's not a ROM.

I love how the guy PMed me... I'm sure I'll get flamed as a response. DR is rather limited, because it is scaled at whole number multiples (so you are almost guaranteed a black void). It is already available in ZSNES for custom resolutions (to a limited extent IIRC). I don't understand why you can't...

Re: Antivirus Software

AVs these days get their "tentacles" all over the place. General networking problems can be attributed to them. You would hope these things would cause minimal stress to the system, but even with multi-core systems, I guess some people like poop (shitty AVs) in their comps.

Re: FF6 freeze

The game was hard/prepatched with the most common FF6 translation AFAIK... it's not necessarily bad, but it's so much better to soft patch the games than relying on hardpatched games.

Re: FF6 freeze

IIRC, there are bugs relating to that option under a limited set of circumstances. I can't remember what exactly.

Anyways, just change the default behavior for those changes in FF3/FF6's Config section.

Also, Genji Glove > Gauntlet except in like one case.
