Probs with ZNES and N64

[Guest bugmenot]

OK - so thought try my luck at installing Nintendo SNES.

I used the set up Wizard and opted for Snes9x emulator as read on forum its good for slow systems.

I located some SNES ROMs and placed them into the Rom folder.

I added to my menu and when I start GameEx I see the SNES Roms but when I select a Rom screen goes blank for a while and then it returns to GameEx.

Is there a step I'm missing? Are SNES Roms like MAME and need to be same version?

Logs & config attached.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi got the same Prob here , but there are no send keys in the ini -file (using latest GameEx Version ; Win7 64bit) ; the Emu runs fine in standalone. Got that also with Project64. Any ideas?

Hi guys got a prob with the snes emu , after launching the rom it escapes to gameex. Found another thread here with suggestions about send keys - but that isn´t the prob.

Can someone help?

Not to split hairs or anything, but the original issue reported by BritnVA was related to Snes9x. Judging from your log it looks like you’re using ZSNES?

Other than a couple of problems I suspect to be unrelated (font issue, emulator not restoring from cache), your log looks fairly straight. The other piece of information that will help to determine the cause of this issue will be your emulator config. You can upload your emulator config in the following fashion:

Go to the Emulator Selection screen in the Setup Wizard. You'll see a column of 6 buttons between the two main panels. The bottom button in that column is the Export Emulator(s) button. Highlight the emulator you'd like to export in the left hand panel and click the Export Emulator(s) button. You will then be prompted as to where you'd like to save the emulator config file. That's the file that you would upload here.

I see from your log that you’re using a fairly old version of GameEx. While I rather doubt that this is causing the issue you describe, it would definitely be worthwhile to update.

Thanks bugmenot, we’ll get to the bottom of your issue!

Wow! That’s not good. Just to clarify, I wasn’t suggesting that you switch to Snes9x. I was merely pointing out that the problem you were experiencing with ZSNES was probably not at all the same issue experienced by BritnVA. If you feel more comfortable using ZSNES, then by all means use that.

In terms of GameEx crashing, I’d highly recommend updating to the most recent version of GameEx. This crash may might be related to a bug that Tom fixed in a subsequent release. For that matter it could also be related to video card drivers or a DirectX problem. We can tackle this thing one step at a time.

Let us know whether you’d like to pursue the original issue with ZSNES, or whether you’d like to tackle this new Snes9x problem.

Well likely ZSNES

So getting down to the nuts and bolts. When you have a moment please provide a detailed description of the issue with ZSNES (does the emulator simply not start, does it start but GameEx takes back focus while the emulator is running in the background, etc.). In addition to a good description, please provide one more copy of your log (immediately after having encountered the problem with ZSNES) and the emulator config for ZSNES.

Thank you sir! I'm pretty sure with a little persistence we can work through this,

Thx for your help - I´m preparing holidays atm. I´ll give it a try later and post it here.

Thx very much
