zsnesw and fceu, no video
« on: August 29, 2005, 04:13:52 pm »
this is a weird one, my mamewah is finnaly up and running and all my emulators and roms are working except snes and nes. whenever i go to select a game, the music plays for the game, so i know its being loded and the game is being run, however the emulator isnt displaying any video at all.
i was having the same problem with mame a little while ago, figured out i needed to turn off d3d and a few other gizmo's, however in snesw's cfg file, theres only a few video options and fceu is a little bit beyond complicated.
ive pulled a rom and the emulator to my main rig and they worked fine, im not quite sure what exactly the problem is here.
the specs on my arcade machine is a p4 1.8, 128 of pc133 (which im thinking could be my problem), wd 40gig, and a geforce4 mx440 running svid out.

Change your video resolution in zsnes and fceu.

Set {safelaunch} in your commandline for those emulators (in mamewah).

i lowered the resolutions in both, it fixed fceu but zsnes is still being gay. and the safelaunch tag was already set. i already updated zsnes, i just dont know why its doing this.

What resolution are you using?
What resolution are you using for fceu?
What video settings are you using?


Information is helpful.

Make sure your emulators run OK from a commandline.

Then check and triple check you are using {safelaunch} - it sounds like exactly the problem you get when this isn't set.

Oh, and you're running ZSNES in a Windowed mode, change it to some fullscreen mode.

well i goto run zsnesw.exe from a command line and it does nothing
the safe launch tag is up, and its on all of the other emulators as well
and i changed to 800x600 dr full, i only switched to the windowed mode to see if it would work. it was just what it was on at the moment, ive tried almost every resolution i can.

What commandline are you using (what are you typing)?
