How do I turn off frame advance once I've turned it on? I finally got a laptop with Windows XP and have been playing with the emulator. I've looked through the FAQ here and through the help section for FCEUX, but I'm a little stumped. Help? Edit by Raiscan: Modified Subject title to match question.

Okay. If you had said command prompt, I would've understood a bit more. I do know about Parallels and I have an Intel-based Mac, so I think I'm just going to have to do that mess. If I can use the exact emulators that people use in the tutorials, I think I could stumble my way through it from there. Thanks for the help, people. TASvideos rocks. And, in an effort to save face, I know enough not to reformat my own hard drive, thank you very much!

. . . do what, now? UI? Huh? I don't even know what a command line is. Should I just stick to watching videos?

. . . but he doesn't really know what he's doing. SNES9X v. 1.51 is a bit different on my Mac than what I've seen in some tutorial videos. My memory searcher is pretty much the same, but I don't know how to enter frame advance mode (whatever it exactly is), I don't know how to get movie rerecording to cooperate with my freeze states, and I don't even really want to do any TASes with SNES games -- I just want to get started with SNES9X to get my feet wet in this business. That being said, I'd like to do two TASes: DBZ Taiketsu on the GBA, and Bee 52 on the NES. My current NES emulator, Nestopia, doesn't allow movie recording, and neither does my Mac version of Visual Boy Advance. Um . . . help? When I say I'm new to this, I mean really new -- I don't really understand how hex works; I can kinda slow the frame rate of the games down, but I don't really know where to start; and the tutorials I've seen (like MarioBob's videos on YouTube) haven't really helped me much. That, and I'm not even sure I have the right operating system to even be considering this! If anyone can help point me in the right direction, I'll be very glad for it. . . . speaking of DBZ Taiketsu, I tried downloading a rom a few minutes ago, but the game itself gave me a message saying the it wouldn't run on "this hardware". I won't ask where to find roms, but does anyone know if this is typical for Taiketsu roms (that is, if you're into downloading roms of sucky games)?
