ZSNES doesn't start
When I start ZSNES, all I get is a black window with the hourglass cursor. It doesn't do anything.
I'm fairly positive that I meet all the system requirements. Anybody ever heard of something like this?

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 happened with my GeForce 4 MX440, where it stopped working one day, and I never got it working again.
My specs are:
P4 2.8gig, win XP, 1gig Ram, Radeon 9800 pro.
Any other ideas?

After changing your video card, head over to www.ati.com and download/install the lastest drivers. That should fix your problem.

Is ZSNES the only program/emulator that doesn't respond?hambury wrote:I got the latest drives yesterday (when it worked), and now today, it doesn't work?Ichinisan wrote:After changing your video card, head over to www.ati.com and download/install the lastest drivers. That should fix your problem.
You didn't say that ZSNES was crashing or trying to submit an error report.
It really *should* work in 640x480DR mode. Depending on how you launch ZSNES, there might be a CFG file in a different folder (the one containing the ROM image file). Edit that one *and* the one in the ZSNES folder...just to be sure.

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

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 catalyst drivers.

Thanks for the advice. I've just tried that, but still no luck. Damn, I thought that might work.Joe Camacho wrote:Have you already tried reinstalling Directx?

Ok, I've worked my way back through older version. version 1.30b works fine, anything after that does not.Joe Camacho wrote: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.
Anyone know the ins and outs of Zsnes then? What changed after 1.30b?
Well, if you need a full changelog, you can get one from my site (props to Grin for that). But yeah, it's a whole lot of text.hambury wrote:Ok, I've worked my way back through older version. version 1.30b works fine, anything after that does not.Joe Camacho wrote:Are you using the latest version of Zsnes?
