Don't have the latest ZSNES WIP? Get it here. It's updated alot... Like a pimped out version of ZSNES.

If your SNES ROMs are zipped, here's a GameEx config to get you started. Scroll down to the bottom of this post and click the link. You can load it into GameEx by unzipping the ZSNES.ini file. It should (hopefully) extract right into the proper directory. If it doesn't, place it here:

C:\Program Files\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\IMPORT-EXPORT

Next, IMPORT it by opening GameEx's Configuration Menu and selecting the emulator button you want to assign it to, like Emulator 5 or what have you. The file should appear in the pull-down menu if you placed it in the right spot.

Make sure you select the working path, or the folder ZSNESW.EXE is in (Ex: C:\Emulators\ZSNES).

Add the paths to your ROMS, snaps, etc. and you should be set to go with that part...

If you don't know how to set up ZSNES itself, open the ZSNES emulator. Use the GUI to set up your controller (under Input). Once you're finished, close ZSNES and you should see a file called zsnesw.cfg - use a text editor (Word Pad) to open it and locate the following line:

; GUI Disable (1 = Disable GUI, 0 = Enable GUI)

GUIDisable = 0

Change it to this:

; GUI Disable (1 = Disable GUI, 0 = Enable GUI)

GUIDisable = 1

Now, open GameEx up and let ZSNES rip. You should be good to go.

TIPS:

If you need to, you can also set the 'Saves' path for state and battery saves in the zsnes.cfg file.

Hope that helps.

I got it working but then i started to mess with the save states to get them working with my arcade buttons

I rebooted the machine now I go to load zsnes in gameex and black screen.

If i go to windows and load zsnes by its self works!

Wierd.

one more question cause we are on the subject of zsnes.

I am putting this in a cocktail cab. and i am using the rotate screen 90 deg.

when i load zsnes can i put it to horizontal view. then when i exit out it can go back to 90 deg vert. view.

I'm not all that good at the flipping thing... I don't have a cocktail cab. Is there some sort of program you can run to flip the screen that could utilize the LaunchBefore option in the setup perhaps?

Assume you mean the GameEx menus?...

The TAB key toggles rotation through 90,-90 & 0 degrees.

If you are planning to use GameEx at a monitor resolution greater than 800x600 (and presumably have a fast PC) you'll need to run GameEx 6.40 or above and manually edit the undocumented GameEx.ini setting:

NoRotationRestrictions=True

(If you can't find the entry, add it in the [GENERAL] section).
