Sprite flicker on Vista *1.51 stable*

Post by jsnake »

Using ZSNES 1.51 (not SVN). Sometimes, on Vista, sprites will flicker on and off or sometimes you'll only see half a sprite. This can be fixed by qutting ZSNES and then loading it back up. It happens with all my games so I'm 99% sure it's not a ROM problem. I also never, ever experienced this with my old Windows XP computer.

That's strange. The last time I used ZSNES on Vista, I didn't encounter any flickering on any sprites. Something tells me it's hardware or driver related.

Well, he's using laptop drivers, which more often than not are behind than the non-laptop drivers.

I get the feeling it is a symptom (lack?) of vsync and/or triple buffering though.

Happens with all ROMS + didn't happen with XP == your drivers suck, don't go looking at us.
