So it is the adapters fault? If I just buy a different make, it should work ok?

Actually that didn't do it, it was just a coincidence. What it was is an adapter I have to use my PS2 joypad on my PC, one of these: http://www.chillblast.com/customer/product.php?productid=50 Whenever that is plugged in to a USB port, Zsnes won't start. So now I can get Zsnes working, but no pad to...

remove the cfg file, set the windows resolution to 16-bit. Happens to me all the time when I upgrade my video card. for some reason, Window thinks that 32 bit colors are better for me than 16 bit colors, even though I say otherwise Genius. That fixed it. Kind of feel silly as I experimented with th...

No it doesn't work when set to 6.

DirectDraw ran fine, there were no problems.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. It's not exactly crashing, it just sits on the black screen, and then when I go to close it, Windows goes on about the program not responding, asking if I want to send the error report.

Thanks for that Agozer. Here's what was changed in 1.31 (the first Zsnes that does not work for me): 1.31 All ports # Fixed Mode 4 offset bug (Fixes Bust-A-Move, Puzzle Bobble possibly others) [zsKnight] # Emerald Dragon is now working [_Demo_] # Fixed Last Bible 3 DMA problem (Thanks to SNES9x for ...

Are you using the latest version of Zsnes? If you are, try using an older version, and see if you get the same errors, that's all I can think for now, sorry. Ok, I've worked my way back through older version. version 1.30b works fine, anything after that does not. Anyone know the ins and outs of Zs...

Have you already tried reinstalling Directx? Also to hambury: you should download driver cleaner, sometimes there are conflicts when installing different drivers in a machine, so try uninstalling your drivers, then use driver cleaner for both nvidia detonators and catalyst, then install your cataly...

I tried it in 16-bit mode as well, when in safemode.

I started Windows up in Safemode, and when attempting to run Zsnes got the following error message:

DDRAW ERROR
Mode only available in 16 and 32bit color

I've checked my display settings, and it's set to 32bit color. Any ideas what I need to do?

I've tried deleating all the files to do with Zsnes and starting over, but still no luck.

Yep, tried that too. Still doesn't want to know.

Is it worth me sending the error reports to Microsoft as XP so loves to do? (I'm really that desparate).

Yep, ZSNES is the only thing on my PC at the moment that won't run.

Tried re-installing the latest drivers, but that didn't work.

This is so annoying. It worked yesterday, and I've not installed anything since then.

I got the latest drives yesterday (when it worked), and now today, it doesn't work?

I'm having the same problem. I installed a Radeon 9800 pro yesterday and it worked fine, and today it doesn't (black screen with hour glass, windows says it's not responding). I haven't changed anything since yesterday, so can't work out why this has suddenly stopped working? Annoyingly this happene...
