Only now I could test this version.

But I'm totally frustrated because this version doesn't support 480p. And version 1.2 support 480p!! Why have you downgraded it? It's now unplayable for me.

It works in version 1.2.

I definitely can hear static at the beginning of Super Mario RPG. Just a heads up (first scene inside the castle)

I didn't realize I did. I did set the the mode to interlaced. Is 480p an HD mode? Don't know what the default value is which is what was used for 1.0-1.2. Forgive my ignorance, but what is 480p and how can you tell it's not in 1.3? I don't mind releasing a fix for this (it would take 2 seconds), but I don't understand the difference and how it would affect people if I use 480p or 480i

I am also insisting someone show me how I can use an SNES controller on my XBox

Ask XaRaNn. That's what he said he uses. I don't know how he did it though.

A new ZSNES will require a 2.8ghz CPU to run Super Mario RPG? Why would a new version require that when a Pentium 500 can run the game fine now?

Apparently to have "accurate" SA-1 emulation lot's of non fast code is needed. I think right now it's full of hacks. Pagefault said that in a near future version it will require a 2.8ghtz PC for fullspeed SA-1 without any graphics filters.

Are there a lot of light guns games for the SNES? The only one I can remember is the 6 in 1 that came with the Super Scope.

theres a few superscope games

the 6 in 1, Battleclash, Metal Combat, operation thunderbolt, yoshis safari, t2 the arcade game - maybe a few others

theres also Lethal Enforcers by konami which used its own lightgun called the Justifier

480p isn't an HD mode. It's 640x480 in progressive scan mode. I have an adapter called X2VGA which allows me to use Xbox in 480p. This adapter has a mode called Easyview which is used to show 480i source on 480p display. When I send a 480i vídeo through X2VGA, my TV shows something like this:



Zsnexbox 1.3 appears like above on my TV. So, it's running in 480i. Zsnexbox 1.2 shows correct, though.

Could you put an option on Zsnesxbox to choose 480i or 480p?

ZsnexBox 1.4:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's New:

Added support for HD mode 480p

If HD is enabled on your Xbox ZsnexBox will render in 480p, otherwise it will render in 480i.

All previous versions including 1.3 used INTERLACED (480i) and NOT PROGRESSIVE (480p).

There has never been support for 480p. Now there is.

OH YEAH!  

Somehow, Zsnexbox 1.2 was running in 480p on my setup.

Hopefully this will fix your problem. Please post if it does or doesn't. I have no idea how it was rendering in 480p unless that's the default setting for Direct3D. But that doesn't make sense because I tried setting the code to Progressive and it wouldn't even boot on my Xbox.

In this version, I followed Xport's example of how to initialize Direct3D. The only differences were the swapeefect and setting the default display to interlaced unless HD was enabled.  So it was 480i all along.


As for the game crashes, it has to do with the sequences of games being run. I'm looking into it but the games are certainly playable. It's a problem in my game switch code that i havn't solved yet.

Why reset? Why not just exit back to the menu and start it again? Is there a benefit to reset?

Some, for certain games and certain codes you need the reset button.

We'll have to wait more 8 hours until it's available at the usual places.  

Also, 480p must be enabled in the Dashboard or interlaced mode will be used.

One question though, I can't enable 480p or any other HD mode in my dashboard. Does UnleashX know that the Xbox is connected to a non HDTV? If so, when you don't use the adapter can you still enable HDTV (I'm assuming you don't have an HDTV)

My TV is a SDTV. It can display at 480p.

Your Xbox need component cables or VGA cables to be able to run in 480p, 720p or 1080i. Otherwise it'll run in 480i.

Oh ok. I'm using S-Video because I don't have component inputs on my TV. This is making me want to buy an HDTV.

I'm thinking about buying the HD Component cables. Can you notice a big difference between 480i and 480p. I'm using 480i right now but my tv supports 480p.

Well, this is how I see the difference of progressive to interlaced with my tv: Compare the quality of having flicker filter on to setting it off. With a value of 0, you have a noticeably sharper image, but you get all this shimmering on the screen which is why most people recommend a value of 1 or 2 to prevent the overly sharp image. Now imagine flicker filter set to 0, BUT remove all the shimmering and picture a much more vibrant, perfectly sharp screen. That's 480p

-Don't know if DVD sensors will still cause problems.

It doesn't for me but it never did, has anyone who did have problems with this before had any?

For 480p you need a components cable, any TV should display 480p though with it (even non-HDTV)

You're wrong. The TV must be able to run in 480p. Not all models can do it.
