dirt,
I am having the same problem. I downloaded the zsnesw program from Stuzza's site with the escape-exit option. I am using Win98SE. I am also puzzled as to why the button configuration is not saved, but it seems that alot of people dont have the same problem. Wondering if it is a Win98 problem or otherwise. I hope someone on the forum can have the answer, because I am not sure how to correct the problem.
