ZsnexBox 2.4

What's New:

-ZsnexBox now comes with two excellent (Zelda and Metroid) skins to choose from by Neverwill. Be sure to try them both.

-Added an animation to the Metroid skin

-Skin switching supported. Up to 15 skins are supported. Add additional skins to the skins folder. In each folder put a copy of the ZsnexBox.ini that has the correct text/image placement in this folder. It must be named the same as the folder name. For example, the Metroid skin is in the D:\skins\Metroid folder and contains a Metroid.ini

-Added more text placement options. Virtually all the text can be adjusted.

-Changed the main menu, controller, and emulator options text to be centered.

-Added a Help/FAQ Menu option. This screen contains information about the use of ZsnexBox as well as an updated FAQ. Please look here "before" posting a question on the forums.

-Added option to adjust the clipping window for the Help text.

-Added a new Help background image for the Help screen

-Tweaked the timing and animation code. The animations now run much smoother.

-Fixed the HD corrupt graphics problem some users were getting. ZsnexBox should display correctly in 720p and 1080i for all Xbox versions (regardless of the dashboard used to launch it)

-Fixed Player 3 and 4 controls

-Added the ability to change the Rombrowser text clipping. The width can now be increased or decreased.

-Created a new menu called GUI Options and moved the Text and Image Options to this menu.

-Added a GUI transition between screens. The fade effect duration can be adjusted

-Added support for a zooming logo/graphic for the rombrowser.

-Fixed a bug where some text was too far to the right in HD modes.

-Fixed the invisible digit bug on the cheat menu in HD modes.

-Changed all GUI images to PNG format. JPG's are no longer supported anywhere. This alone frees up around 4MB of RAM and as a result, all of the previous HQ previews work again. The GUI looks even better as well.

-Changed the "Show ROM Info" option to be off by default.

-Fixed a bug where the Option screen would be dimmed if screen resizing was done outside of the emulation.

-Fixed a bug where the preview border values were not being saved correctly.

-Added a confirmation screen for exiting ZsnexBox.

-Added options to change the zooming logo animations on the main menu and rombrowser. The values that can be changed are minimum size, maximum size, and speed of animation.

-Decreased the amount of time before the rombrowser animation repeats.

-Added option to change the distance the rombrowser animated character moves (if it moves at all). The default value is 100. So a value of 50 would cause it to repeat in half the time.

Installation:

(If you are a beta tester be sure to delete the previous ZsnexBox24.ini)

New Install:

1) Extract the archive.
2) Copy to the Xbox hard drive
3) Run default.xbe to start the emulator

Upgrade:

1) Extract the archive.
2) Copy to the Xbox hard drive over the previous installation (you should delete your previous media folder before doing this but it is not required)
3) Delete your previous ZsnexBox23.ini (optional but reccomended)
3) Run default.xbe to start the emulator

Thanks:
-All the users of ZsnexBox who post bugs, request features, make suggestions, or just enjoy using it.
-Neverwill for more excellent artwork
-Xport for more advice/code
-All the people who beta tested the new HD fixes.
-Anyone I forgot

i just picked it up. it started with the Zelda skin as the default, so i picked the Metroid skin to see how that one was. I now only get a white screen with the selected option in the yellow letters. I tried to go back to the Zelda skin, but it's still stuck here. I assume this is how it looks if it were booted up without any skins.

is it possible to add the pal/ntsc switch from options in the game menu so you can switch a pal game "on the fly" to ntsc? like on a real snes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

the skin stays with the white screen until i delete the ini file. then it's fine, but once i exit the emulator and return, the white screen's back again.

also, instead of the ini saying something like SkinPath=Zelda, it says something like SkinPath=ÐF
once it messes up

[edit] i renamed the Metroid skin folder to Zelda, and the Zelda folder to something else so i could see how the Metroid skin was. it's really good.

Sorry for this stupid question, but i must ask:

What is the reason for having ZsnesxBox 2.4 in 3 parts (part 1, part 2, and part 3), for download? Everyone seems to be the exact same as the other.

I'll put the dunce cap on and sit in the corner, now.

Sounds like you didn't do a clean install or are missing some files. I have no trouble switching skins. The white screen only happens if you are missing images.
