ZSNES is being a butt

So I want to play Super Mario RPG but the only way I have to play it currently is through an emulator. Fair enough. ZSNES is making this a big ol' pain, however. First the sound quality was horrid, although finally I managed to fix this by turning the sampling rate all the way down. Now the framerate is really jumpy when there's a lot on the screen.

Is there some sort of setting I should be setting that I am not?

Is there a better emulator out there than ZSNES these days? Linux availability is a big plus so I don't have to partition hop.

It seems BSNES was renamed to Higan at some point. It's in the Arch Linux repo. http://byuu.org/higan/

I'll look that one up. Thanks!

SNES9X is my emulator of choice.

Yep, I default to SNES9X as well.

Just chiming in to say that SNES9X is awesome, as others have already pointed out. It rarely runs games wrong and if it does, you can easily play with the settings to make it work.

SNES9X for life!

I'm using zsnes for my super mario rpg game because I already had it installed and installing new things scares and confuses me ;__;

so far no problems.





so far :shifty:

Zsnes' sound emulation isn't exactly spot-on, which is why I use Snes9x.

might as well be using dialup internet if we're still on SNES9X and ZSNES.

higan and retroarch. switch over immediately.

Jowy, I took your advice and downloaded higan.

It's painfully slow, running in performance mode, even on my 3gHz machine. So what were you saying?

Higan works perfectly! Thanks for the advice guys!

What the...?

Yeah, I just tried out Higan and it's running smoothly for me too, also sounds a bit nicer then the SNES9X. :p

I shall try out Higan, haven't heard of it until this thread. Thanks. :)

Zsnes can be ran on a wii or older xbox. sounds pretty good on my wii. haven't had an issue with it yet.

I highly recommend Higan. I've played about half of Super Mario RPG so far and it's working splendidly!
