ZSNES board

IIRC the Arkanoid controller came with the NES version of Arkanoid. You're right. The SNES one supported mice, though. Sadly, it doesn't work as well as it should because the game adjusts the mouse acceleration with ball speed, so you're never sure how far to move the mouse to get where you're going.

Legally, you can only own ROM images you have dumped from software you own. If you transfer ownership, backups are destroyed or go with it. Hypothetically, you could legally use your backups as replacements for stolen software, but the courts pr'ly won't believe you. Morally varies, but my view is t...

So let's say I have a save file that's somewhat into the game. That won't be interfered with even if I state saved before? Bingo. Real saves, unlike state saves, do not preserve the conditions that originally caused the crash in most cases(I can think of a few interesting ones in FF6/3 that are sav...

ahh yes. laptop video chips and drivers... Based on your description, I doubt your card has hardware scaling, and reverts to HEL to do the drawing. Software scaling == slideshow. On a chip that old, it's pretty much guaranteed. And that's EXACTLY the problem. To explain for those that don't "g...

The 3 ways to fix this problem WOULD have been... A. Alt-enter. B. Go to the video menu and select a new windowed video mode, as ZSNES' "maximize" button merely toggles between windowed and fullscreen modes. Might've been made more difficult since you couldn't see the menu bar. Which leads...

3. Audio is the same. Improve the audio. I believe it was ESNES or NKLSNES that had an option to tremendously enhance the audio with echo and kakalia effect. I have not heard audio like this anywhere else and it far surpassed the real SNES audio. The difference between MIDI & Mp3. Improving aud...

Also is it possible to use the left joystick as a control pad Yes. ZSNES maps analog axes as a button pair, and cross-links the first one with a d-pad. Thanks a lot, I was wondering if the "all one button" nature of the control pad would make it less precise, but it sounds like it works p...

At first I didn’t thought of setting the input to Keyb/Joystick because I never use default buttons. In older versions you never had to do that. Actually, you did. If you didn't, the controls didn't work, because you configured a "disconnected pad. " And ZSNES reset the controls when you ...

Zsnes vpre 1.43 July 10 2005 Win input bug: It is impossible to customise buttons for any input when they are set to "None". You have to set them to the default "Keyb/Joystick" before doing any change or it won't work (neither by clicking a key nor the "Set Keys" butto...

Hi, I've been playing snes roms for a while, but I am getting tired of using a keyboard. What is the best way to attach a snes controller to the computer? I see the usb adapter on the front page, is that the easiest/best method? Or is another way to do it easier? And also, what drivers would I need...

That's VERY nice.

What exactly IS the deal with the way NES generate(d) colors that makes it difficult to reproduce accurately? (compared to other consoles) It's not using the RGB system. Info: http://nesdev.parodius.com/NESTechFAQ.htm#ispalettergb http://nesdev.parodius.com/ That can't be all of it, as many other p...

I don't know... maybe you enter them ON TWO LINES!

In this case, he's gonna have to work harder. Hold the L button in half-way. EXACTLY half-way.
He's never gonna get it.

It has a USB port at the end that connects to a box that allows you to plug your controller in, but then again I think they all come like that. No, they don't. You're using a console controller adapter instead of a native PC pad. That's signifigant. What adapter? And im running it on windows xp, an...

First thing to check: Does Windows see it in the "joysticks" or "gaming options" control panel? Second thing: Does it work in the afore-mentioned control panel? Third: Does it work in any other applications(say, Gens, MAME, NEStopia, etc.) Also: What version of Windows are you ru...

Neither the AC waveform noise nor the limited draw speed is an issue anymore. Both are holdovers from TV standards created a half a century ago, and are going to DISAPPEAR when DTV gets rolled out fully. And interlacing should die with the changeover to DTV, but that would make life to simple, so t...

movies are 24fps due to cost of filmstrip. its the minimum needed to fool the brian into sensing motion, and an average feature being several miles of film, it makes a difference. I could swear that I have seen the same in DVD's too. I thought I had seen NTSC 24fps dvd's since 24fps makes for small...

And yes, there IS something wrong with my computer - it's 5 years old, THAT's what's wrong.

Not necessarily.

You'd be surprised what you can do with an older machine if you care for it well.

Does ZSNES DOS even support PS pads? I thought it was SNES only on the parallel port.

NTSC is also shitty interlaced. but thats irrelevant - you are getting a non-interlaced picture using a snes emulator anyways. That's good to know... but do you mind explaining to me the reason TVs are interlaced. I thought it had something to do with the voltage difference between north america an...

lol el stupido! Commodore was amiga

No, you dumbfuck.
Amiga was a standalone company.
Commodore had a distribution contract with Amiga.

It's like saying the NES was made by Mattel because Mattel distributed the NES in Canada.

I still don't see what "trouble" nintendo was... And while some developpers might have wanted a CD addon (I don't know, my reading material in the first half of the nineties was limited to Nintendo Power), I'm not sure the "market" did. I know that I bought a 64 before a playsta...

Reminds me of an Atari emulator I saw once that required the Atari sound chip on an ISA card for sound "emulation."

Of course, it had damn accurate sound, so there's always a positive side.

Fact: NINTENDO was the one in trouble at the time, because the market WANTED CD add-ons and they refused to deliver. Where did you get that from? Your ass? From a couple years' worth of old game magazines, actually. There was a LOT of negative press when they canned the SNES CD. While modern common...
