What's new:
-The FPS setting is fixed. It should display if it is set to "On" every time.
-Reverse Stereo is now saved/loaded from the ini.
-The "Hide File Extensions" option is saved/loaded from the ini.
-Added an option to disable screenshot saving
-Fixed the bug where part of the screenshot was still on the screen after saving.
Thanks to all the people who pointed these issues out and everybody at Xbox-Scene.

-Added 3 key combinations. They are:
L Trigger + Back = Save State
R Trigger + Back = Load State
Back + Start = Exit Emulation
Thats pretty neat, nice job =), I dont intend to sound needy, but the key combinations from Xport`s emus
R Trigger + Black = Save State
R Trigger + White = Load State
isnt that more user friendly?
when saving a state: L Trigger + Back = Save State , in Zelda it gets that "save game, continue" in game menu...
If you used a key combination that dont interfere with IGM, that would be AWESOME
just a thought.
Cheers
PS! Thank you nes6502, this keeps getting better and better... Also, just wondering, if the "rom browser" scrolling ever will be like in "xbmc", "xports" or "xsnes9x 1.42" ? Its just so much better with the boldface in the center of the screen... Also just a thought. =)

Bilippe if you have a good selection of box art please upload it to the Xbox Emulation Repository so that others may use them as well (and for nes to possibly test with).

Does anyone get this issue with input where sometimes
the 'up' direction appears to be held down (happens in
both games and menu) and only by wiggling the left
analog stick will 'unhold' it.
Post by: ugenn on June 17, 2006, 09:34:00 PM
How about having the version caption dynamically generated in code
rather than have it as part of the background bitmap? It can get a
little confusing when testing releases.
Post by: Koitsu on June 17, 2006, 10:55:00 PM
i'm basically asking that you please at least give us the option of using the d-pad for directions instead of the analog button, in the game and in the browser. the volume on the right button is bad enough, but at least i could play it. i realize that if my controller was perfect, this wouldn't be an issue, but i don't want to have to find the "good one" everytime to get an emulator working.

i can't play this version. not to say it doesn't work at all, i just can't play a game with these configurations. is it now that the left analog is the only way to move around? i loathe the analog buttons, and it's a main reason that i've barely played my xbox games. the analog buttons are always stuck in one direction or another, and i can't get very far walking "left" the whole time. also, since it's always stuck in some direction, i can't even choose the game i want to play. i can only choose the last game, or a random game.
Of course the Digital pad still works. If it doesn't work for you, then your controller is defective. In fact, your entire post sounds as if you are using a broken controller. There is a deadzone calibration in the menu that may fix your problem. Try setting it to 0.54

It can be disabled if you don't like it.

Be reasonable. Do you really expect me to code for people that have broken controllers? You can buy a new wireless controller for $10.00.

Adjust the Analog deadzone in the general options menu. That will fix your problem. Try a value of 0.54

Dunno if you could somehow flag the emu to rotate the screenshot when a rom is selected from a folder named "Japan" or if the rom name has (J) in it? Might be a better alternative than having a completely different skin if its at all possible. In any case it would be a nice feature.
It would not be hard to implement. If the height of the image was greater than the width then that would mean it was a japanese cover, and I could change the way the preview was displayed. However, is it even worth doing if there are no more than 10-15 total box scans on the net?

The only thingie that's left for me would be the rom-browsing just
like it is in XPort's Emulators (.. Dir up and a button for that).
Like mentioned before the Load State/Save State Buttons
should also be like in XPort's.
It seems you have a habit for not updating the 'rombrowser.jpg'
and for leaving the 'Thumbs.db' in the 'media'-directory, hehe.
It's not important just nuances.
Keep up the good work !
BTW: pleeeaase - we don't need japanese covers...
(well, I guess most of us don't need them)
It's the very last thing the emulator needs, right now.
There are other small things to tweak?

also, it wasn't that i disliked the sound volume option, i just didn't like it on the right analog button. simply looking at the controller in a way it found displeasing would cause it to lower the volume from 100 to 0. anyway, the 0.54 analog deadzone fixed the problem and it's all good now.

the controller isn't broken at all
Are you serious? Not being able to use the joystick properly sounds pretty broken to me. And the fact that your controller is the reason you rarely play xbox games proves it. I highly doubt there are a lot of people with the exact same problems with there controllers as you who also use zsnex. Geez some people act like nes is working for them.

did you make the disc using an XISO program like Qwix?

Sounds like you are not making an Xbox formatted disc. ZsnexBox does not support the standard iso format as XBMC does. You have to make an XISO first and burn from that.

I don't know if my issue is related, but I also have an issue that goes across all emulators, not just this one. Example, when I finish ActRaiser you are supposed to be able to reset the game to unlock a new play mode. The game reset option in emulators just starts the emulation over. Maybe its because it cannot write to the rom, I don't know. But I understand that its confusing wondering if you did something that would merit an award but you have no way to find out since the final screen does not let you go anywhere and a reset just reloads the rom. I think on mario, thats it dude.
I don't remember Actraiser well enough. However, this type of behaviour is acheived by games modifying the save ram. And I write the save ram everytime there is an exit. I don't think there is anything special about hitting reset on a real SNES and I would be suprised if ZSNES didn't emulate the actual reset behaviour. Are you sure this is what it supposed to happen? If you are 100% sure, then post (or send me) a savestate and I will investigate it further.

I have the full USA Romset(725 or so roms) they all work except a few that have checksum errors, but I can load all of the ones that dont have a checksum problem.
it only freezes after I quit a game, it never freezes on selecting a game after starting up. it usually freezes after selecting 4-6 roms....
it only freezes after I quit a game, it never freezes on selecting a game after starting up. it usually freezes after selecting 4-6 roms....
I need more specific details. I have never had a problem on game start, emulation, or game exit with any of the games in the USA set. Are you saying the entire XBOX freezes when you click the right thumbstick to access the Menu?
I have to have an exact game sequence to investigate this any further. Please try and find a sequence that does it everytime. Please verify these ROMS are correct with NSRT and post the NSRT output along with the order the games were run.

As for HQ SNES scans out there, they aren't as plentiful as NES scans (I have all but like 5 NES box covers in HQ) but they do exist in many places. I'm just finishing up my HQ NES pack and will work on SNES very soon. For Japanese scans, here is one of the sites I've seen that I will convert when I have time. There's 151 HQ Super Famicom box scans there, so that should more than settle if its worth doing or not. Here's another which lists ALL games although the scans are only thumbnails that display. I'll have to contact the web page's owners and see if there would be any way to get ahold of the original sized scans.
I will add support for it to ZsnexBox (for a later release).

Yeah he brought up this idea while thinking about cheat searches in 1.3/1.4 thread,
xport commented he liked the idea so much, he'd start using it too.
If you get decent at code searches it gets easy to start rumbles for getting hit, attacking, etc.
You can test it out in mednafenx. It works quite well.
nes hasn't implimented it YET, but yeah since it's his idea, I bet he will.

Don't quote me on this, but from everything nes has said, this won't happen. (in the near future)
1.3 and beyond are using a ~1 year old build compared to the first releases, because new WIPs, while they fix some stuff, break alot more.
So until he is done with most of his GUI improvments, and go on implementing multi-core support, the emulator is staying with it's present zsnes core.

The only way to chang the music is to replace the bg_1.wma with a different song.
