Topic by Phil

ok Btw, I've got a pretty annoying bug when I am opening a game. Snes9x always told me that there's no CD in my cd-rom drives. Pretty, pretty annoying.

Snes9x 1.43 final (with the sound on and exact same settings as the old dev) desyncs a movie at the same spot as v1.43 dev with the sound turned off (in the dev)...so any new sound implements may be affecting it.

I forgot this was mentioned in this thread too... Snes9x 1.43 final expects 1 extra frame at the start of the movie compared to the WIP version, which can easily be hex-edited in to convert it. That's the only difference that's making things go out of sync between the 2 versions. (edit: no, actually I was wrong, there's more to it than just that.)

This is an instance when back compatibility whould have been soooooo easy to implement. There is a version number byte, use it.

Since, for some reason, that topic, http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1816 , is locked, I am writing it here. Nitsuja, can you read that topic, http://snes9x.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=1392 , at Snes9x board and make Snes9x to use a .ini file instead of Windows registry like all good emulators?

This can be probably done like VBA does it without too much trouble. But the Snes9x developers seem unwilling to consider that change, and I'm not sure of all the reasons for that. I was going to try giving them some patches soon (it's long overdue that I do that), so I'll wait until that before making any more new changes.

Snes9x in CVS has been using an INI file for awhile thanks to blip and anomie. Notice on the Snes9x forum, the question was asked why, not when or please in which case it was done already.

I don't know what has happened with Snes9x but right now, with version 7, I can't record to AVI. When trying to record to AVI, Snes9x just crashes.

Works for me. Does it only happen when you record bigger than a certain size or replace a large existing movie or use a certain codec or anything else like that?

It does that right after I choose the codec (Any codec failed). Actually, I have just resetted all Snes9x settings in Windows registry that I hate to do( I mean playing in that stupid WIn reg) and it seems to works well now. I don't know what setting cause this trouble but better find it.

I have this problem too. I can't record to AVI and the cause and effects are the same. As soon as it is supposed to record ONE FRAME of the movie, it crashes. When removing all settings, it works, though.

I also wonder why. Nitsuja did a great job with this emulator and its so much better and easier for recording professional movies. Does anyone knows where (which topic) the next improved version of Snes9x will be posted?

It's locked because I don't want many threads about same thing. Less confusion = better. I have nothing against Nitsuja's version. The discussion may very well be continued in this thread!

I've got an error trying to compile Nitsuja's Snes9x version 6 source under MinGW.

Hmm, I think that for some reason MinGW does not support anonymous unions... One workaround is to simply put all of the items in the struct so it takes up more memory but at least compiles (I thought I put this in from the other patch but maybe it got erased during one of the merges). The rest of the errors are probably caused the render code being confused after including auxmath.h.

This is most likely an easy problem, but how do I turn off where it shows the button input sequence at the bottom of the screen while I'm playing or a movie is playing. I'm an idiot and can't find it by myself.

You can check which button it is in the Input -> customize hotkeys menu. You want to check the "show pressed buttons" key and press it once while playing.

Would it be too much trouble to add turbo support for the directional pad buttons? If this feature has already been suggested/acknowledged please accept my apologies and ignore this post.

Giving separate buttons for their turbo would require GUI changes to the dialog, but letting you toggle their turbo on/off through the auto-fire modifier key wouldn't be too hard (it only wasn't done because the turbo information was previously stored in a format with not enough bits for the directional buttons).
