Can I disable the ROM info text please?

Hi, is there a way to disable the white 'ROM info' text which pops up for a few seconds when the ROM first boots up?

Cheers, Pete.

If you looked hard enough in the docs or ZSNES itself, you would have found the answer to your query.

Ah - just realised, I'm not running "Zsnes" - I've got "ZsnesW"; maybe that'll explain the lack of docs (I got it as a front-end plugin). Thanks for the sarcastic post and for not helping me. Great forum

Useless info, except that zsnesw.exe is the name of the Windows executable.

maybe that'll explain the lack of docs

If you didn't download ZSNES from the ZSNES website, then that is your problem there.

(I got it as a front-end plugin).

I have no idea what you are talking about.

You put in enough effort to warrent the answer you got. If you couldn't find it in Config->Options, then go figure to your cluelessness.

1- Yep - I downloaded the latest version and read the docs. The 'disable ROM info' feature is only available on this version - that's why, despite having looked hard enough, I couldn't find it.

2- A front end, FYI, is a replacement GUI with bells and whistles.

3- I got the answer I deserved? Your not very helpful.

4- Clueless - isn't that the idea of a dedicated forum?

It would have done you some good to get the latest version first before having asked said question. I probably could have mentioned the version that this was added in, but technically using the latest version is implied (especially since you did not provide a version number of ZSNES you were using).

2- A front end, FYI, is a replacement GUI with bells and whistles.

ZSNES does not provide a frontend or plugin or whatever you were talking about.. hence my comment.

3- I got the answer I deserved? Your not very helpful.

What you originally posted resembles questions that would have already been answered by the docs...

4- Clueless - isn't that the idea of a dedicated forum?

The purpose of a forum is to ask questions that related to a problem, but only if it weren't answered someplace else (docs), or if a particular detail was unclear to you. You were asking like the age old question "how do I make ZSNES play games?" or something along those lines. I apologize if that offends you, but I cannot apologize for user ignorance (it appeared to me that way from your original query).

OK fair enough. Cheers.

Not that it matters now, but I'm pretty sure Zsnesw is just what the Windows port executable is named. It's not a frontend.

zsnes is dos and zsnes (btw i'm too stupid to learn the name of the emulator) is the windows port.

the zsnes developers dont make frontends for there own emulator.

I used to associate my .smc files with a .bat file, it was uber l33t. it would run the rom through smc.com and show lots of information, then give a choice to force the rom in ntsc/pal, and default to normal. plus dos had some bug with filenames containing an ' so it would copy and rename the file before running it (damn yoshi's island.) it was the best frontend in the world! oh how I miss windows 98

You're right; I've got a separate front-end for it so I can just select any game from a list and it automatically loads the required emulator and graphical settings before the game starts. 'Zsnes' could incorporate a similar idea where the setting's configurations (graphics, sound volume, controls/input etc) are saved 'for each ROM' and only loaded in just as the ROM is launched.

A frontend doesn't replace a built in GUI, nor does it imply any bells or whistles.

1- I agree, a frontend doesn't 'replace' the zSNES GUI but it is still a GUI. As for the 'bells and whistles' I mentioned, the one I use gives you the freedom to make it look how you want.

2- Thanks for the post - I'll check yours out. I'm sure people will find it useful.

I could not find any of your zsnes frontends.

nsrt is a frontend.

Probably because your brain ran away years ago when you tried stuffing all kinds of garbage in it. You need therapy.

my bad. I thought nsrt itself just had a front end, I didn't realize nsrt was a front end to begin with, whilst having its own front end. sorta like wearing two pairs of underwear no?
