no problem with unpatched rom, until i tried, DaMarsMan's DQ3 patch from:
http://www.romhacking.net/trans/1323/

soft patch gives:
- black screen on zsnesw 1.51
- works fine on snes9x v1.51

Does snes9x 1.51 have fixed its mirroring ?

Does the patch add a header?

If the answer is yes, it has a bit to do with the soft-patching code...

I guess I'll have to look into this...
Not today though, a bit busy.

    ROM wasn't found in the database (possible bad dump).
    You can try using -fix or -findover to see if the
    file has been slightly altered in a rectifiable way.

Well, I just tested this in our private ZSNES tree, and it works flawlessly, so yeah, problem already solved
