Off topic? : The same thing happened to me a few years back when taking screenshots. A GFX driver update fixed it, but I am sure that your drivers are up to date. It was the reason I joined this board, as a matter of fact. Delete this post if it begins to derail the thread or somesuch.

It's nice when you provide 0 info as to what port, and hardware you have.

I'm still willing to bet you're using an integrated video card (most likely Intel).

I wouldn't be surprised if the drivers were responsible... it happens.

Happened to me with my old ATI Rage Pro 2. I think the card was in 555 mode, and ZSNES used 565.

Try installing the latest drivers.
Maybe there are some "third-party" tools that can tweak hidden settings.

My card was an Rage Pro as well.

I wonder what GFX card and drivers he is using.

Sorry for that, I'm using a very old onboard video card, i guess I'll try to update the drivers.

Just out of curiosity, was it a Rage Pro? Mine was integrated as well. Maybe this could be added to the FAQ.

A: All integrated video cards are Communist. Your reluctance to fork over money for a real video card has started a second wave of Communist treachery in your country. Now you will die. If not, your PC will explode.

Actually, more like trusting your computer needs to real stores rather than online

but ok.

Sorry, my bad. Now that I think of it, it makes more sense.. I'll have something better.

And Deathlike you forgot to mention that in (almost all) cases, boards with integrated gfx don't have an AGP/PCI-E X16 slot...

In the early days, this was true. Now, this is just not the case.

OK then:

I got my HP desktop back in Thanksgiving 2003. It has no agp or pci-e x16 slot.

2003 is not now, that was three years ago. Situation has changed since 2003.

If worse comes to worse, you have a choice between a NVidia Geforce FX 5500 PCI or an ATI Radeon 9200 PCI... choice is really a tossup, but I probably will give it to the FX since it will get updates (well, it won't benefit this product too much), unlike the Radeon 9200 PCI (anything based off the R200 is not be supported anymore). Then again, if you want good OpenGL support in Linux, NVidia is the winnar.

You can't base a generalization of most based off of one machine.

Most of the junk here is from 2003 too.

The thread veered offtopic after all... This is why I try to stay away from the boards concerning the emulator.

Also because I don't know shit about emulation.

Well, that motherboard was in-stock when I last checked it. And why would it matter if it's a non-Intel board with a PCI-E slot?

Well, I specifically mentioned my mobo doesn't have an AGP/PCI-E X16 slot.. also the processor in mine is a Socket 470 Intel Celeron.
