Seiken Densetsu 3 Rom Bothers.

[The Man]

<FONT COLOR=38e897>Just for the record, I have version 1.337 of ZSNES (yes, it's the 1337357, latest version) and version 8.1 of DirectX, which is also, I believe, the latest version. Inexplicably, ZSNES freezes when I try to load a ROM. It freezes as soon as I start changing directories, actually. I have no clue why it does that, but it does.

Blah. Life isn't perfect.

Peace

That's weird, why would an emulator for super nintendo need Directx 8? I mean super nintendo is pretty old right? so the sounds and images wouldn't be top of the line??

Emulating a system perfectly does take quite a lot of power to make sure everything is syncronised etc. due to the large differences between consoles and PCs. Also, the format of the data in consoles (such as the audio and images) are not optimized at all for a PC to use directly, such as a console can usually do. Using latest things like DirectX helps speed up the behind the scenes or extra overhead processing of the emulator which is on top of what the normal console would do.

Blasphemy I tell you. Back in the day all we had was ZSNES for DOS! Now you people have their fancy SNES 9x with hi res mode and ZSNES for Windows. Kids these days.

I was thinking about it. Manny your problem might be that you have a corrupted ROM file or something becasue I one time had one and it wouldn't let me play any other ROM's and it would always freeze the emu. I'm going to ask some people about it though.
