Znes and Mala

[memphis]

I'm not sure if I got a "hacked" version of zsnes, but I currently have mine configured to exit back to MALA with the ESC key.  Here's the pertinent info that I have...hopefully these steps will work for you.

1) Open ZSNES and configure it the way you want before moving on to step 2.  This isn't crucial, but will prevent you from having to change step 2 each time.

2) Open zsnesw.cfg with notepad and edit the following line from "guioff=0" to "guioff=1".  this will disable the GUI, making changes impossible from within the application.  You can change this back at any time to make configuration changes via the main menu.  This SHOULD cause ZSNES to exit the app and back to MALA with the ESC key.

3) Open the options in MALA (right-click-->options), Other Emu Config tab.  Highlight your SNES in the "Emulators" box.  On the Basics tab, name it whatever you want.  Click the "..." button next to Executable and browse to your zsnesw.exe.  Click the "..." next to Rom path and browse to the folder your SNES roms are in.  Rom extensions should prefill with every extension from the folder in the "Rom path" box.  Now, on the "Executions" tab the preset "%path%\%rom%.%ext%" doesn't seem to work for me.  I found putting the following in that box, including the quotes.  "[Copy and Paste the info in the Rom path box from the Basics tab here]\%rom%.%ext%"

4) The "Options" tab contains the paths for snaps and/or videos if you elect to use them in your layout, but aren't necessary to get the emulator running.

Hope this helps...let me know if I can do anything else!

I have tried using these instructions as mentioned above ( aside from hiding ZNES as Id like it to work before I hide it)

When I load the game from the list, znes loads but does not load a rom.  Its as if its just loading the program.

Any suggestions/tips I can try?

Snes 9x is muchbetter. You can costumizie the buttons in the ini file and it responds well to mala hook esc. Run just about every game if not any. I set up mine some time ago and if you use the exe thats in my next line here i think you dont need the mala esc hook. Try out.

Execution is : "%path%\%rom%.%ext%" -esc
