I don't know why, but the sounds in certain games (e.g., Kirby Super Star) are distorted. All the boxes have the ticks in them, Interpolation is set to S-Point, and the lowpass is set to Hi Quality. Some of the graphics are also a bit darker then they should be, and I'm using zSNES 1.51. :/

From what I've seen, I think that ZSNES is far inferior to snes9x. Also, ZSNES has many emulation glitches with Kirby Super Star.

If you're out to play SNES games casually on an emulator I recommend to you bsnes, you can find it at byuu.org If you're planning on TASing games I suggest you used Snes9x (see the board above this one).

OK. Thanks! EDIT: I tried bsnes, and it played like 5 frames per second (Which mean it sucks...). Thanks for the suggestion, though. :)

With the "Performance" core of bsnes v068, even my computer from 2003 gets more than 50 fps in most games.

I am usually getting 60 FPS from the accuracy-core and my computer was built for average gaming in 2006. What operating system are you using? If windows, does it change anything if you run it as Administrator?

Considering the 5000 series comes from circa 1998, I'm suprised you can put 1GB of ram in it. Depending on the specific model, you could have anything from a 333MHz - 1.3GHz processor. Since you're getting 5fps, I'd say it's more likely to be the former, which means your PC isn't fast enough to run bsnes as the project's goal is prioritizing accuracy over speed. Your best bet is snes9x. Edit: Also, now I think about it it's possible that many of the problems you are experiencing could be due to hardware e.g. an old sound card with limited support for stuff zsnes uses etc.

It's not that it slows down or anything, just some colors are a bit darker, and the some of the sounds are messed up.

In bsnes? Disable "Simulate NTSC TV gamma ramp" in the video options.
