Please post your screen resolution and what ROM you are loading.
Every time the emulator core resizes the framebuffer, the client re-evaluates the maximum zoom size that will fit on the screen.
Many cores initialize the framebuffer to an expected size before any frames have been executed. The game may then change the framebuffer size during it's bootup sequence, so the window will have to be resized.
Screen 1366x768
It happens to any and all ROMs I use; it's always locked at the same window size. I tried 1, 2, 3, 4 and max. Full screen works but kills performance like no other (lack of bilinear filtering doesn't help). After the Bsnes core launches the ROM, it shrinks, but once the game loads, I can't change the windows size. The effing size is locked.
If this emulator is going to give me so much hell, I might as well screw using it.
A bunch of window size semantics have been changed for the next release. Give it a try when it comes out.
Edit: Also, if "Core i7 2670QM with an nVidia GT555M 1GB GDDR5" gets shitty performance in full screen, you should look at updating your drivers or something. That's not expected at all.
Drivers are already up-to-date, and while rebooting allows me to scale the window size, I can't scale past x3. Why I can't freely resize the windows to what I want is beyond me. I don't care if the pixel aspect ratio is off, blah-blah-blah, I just want to be able to resize.
I already told you that more resize options are in the next release. What more do you want? Would you like me to call someone up to come to your house and wipe your ass for you?
Hello.
Just wanted to report that the lag counter seems broken when playing Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. It counts lag frames where there are clearly no lag frames.
It is apparent if you play the beginning of 1-2 (as well as many other stages).
I tried the Interrim build but it had the same problem.
This should be fixed for next release, although feedback would be appreciated (when it comes out).
I can't start Bizhawk at all. I can see the menus for a moment, but before I can do anything, it gives me a Direct3D error: D3DERR_INVALIDCALL -2005530516. Windows XP SP3.
still the same error. Just if it matters: DirectX 9.0c 4.09.0000.0904
Edit: dxdiag.txt has been sent to natt.
It seems that you are running a multi-monitor setup? If so, does the problem go away when in single monitor mode?
No, this didn't fix it, still exactly the same error. Too bad I don't know any reason for that... Most probably it's happening just before Bizhawk starts simulating noise.

Hey, after getting the hang of the correct syntax for joypad.set and testing it out, I have found out that it doesn't work for GB games. Consider the lua script:
key1={}
key1.A=1
while true do
joypad.set(key1,1)
emu.frameadvance()
end
This script will press the A button for NES and SNES games, but not GB games (where nothing happens). Maybe you were already aware of this, but I didn't find it in the Issues list

GB doesn't have a player, since there is only one.
key1={}
key1.A=1
while true do
joypad.set(key1)
emu.frameadvance()
end
The new BizHawk 1.1.1 doesn't read input from GBC games. Game Boy games like Kirby's Dream Land and Game and Watch Gallery work fine, but GBC games like Game and Watch Gallery 3 and SpongeBob: Legend of the Lost Spatula don't respond to button presses, and the input isn't even acknowledged on the input display.

Every game mentioned here works fine for me in the release...
What CoolKirby said in his post is correct, though. It seems like BizHawk 1.1.1 doesn't detect GBC games properly. Namely, if I load a GBC game, the title bar only shows " - [name of the game]" instead of "Game Boy Color - [name of the game]". The GBC games load as they should, but since BizHawk 1.1.1 doesn't recognise them properly (no system shown in the title bar and no "GBC" in the menu), it won't acknowledge the button presses.

And I am back. Found another bug or two.
In the NES game PinBot, there are two bugs. One is a minor graphical bug.
The table's graphics do that when I press Select.
To recreate this problem the table must be scrolled up (as in the image) and then press Select. I don't remember if my version does this as well.
The second bug happens when I lose.

To recreate this bug, go through all three balls (no high score needed) then when the game is supposed to say, "Game Over" it crashes after the Final score tally instead.
Edit:
Made two more bugs. Oh joy.
I attempted to run the game Pilotwings for the first time and the Emulator says, "The SNES core is referencing a firmware file which could not be found. Please make sure it's in your configured SNES firmwares folder. The referenced filename is: dsp1b.rom" I don't know if I am allowed to link to it or not, but the page I found does mention that it is for bsnes. Sounds like it's correct. I put the firmware into the firmware folder. The emulator configuration confirms this is the correct place for those files. The size is also correct. Let's proceed I say. The game loads. Lets close the game and let it reload the DSP file. I try and run Pilotwings again. Same "SNES core" message. Wait, the file is in the proper place. What's going on? I actually try and play the game instead of just letting it go only to the title screen. I get the "Join the Flight Club" intro, the Mission select and controls. So far so good. Then I go to actually fly. I choose light plane. Oh wait, all I can see is black. The music also lags now. That's not supposed to happen.
Another bug:
I close a game without pushing any buttons, and I get, this fun error message.
Note, the number changes depending on the ROM used.

I get a black screen in pilotwings when I don't have dsp1b. When I have dsp1b set up, no problems at all. Please ensure that your pilotwings dump is correct and that your dsp1b dump is correct. The pilotwings rom is in the DB; the dsp is:
Yes, unlike other emulators, you need the firmwares/bios's for special chip games such as Capcom's CX4 chip for megaman x2/x3 and DSP1/2 Mario kart/Pilot Wings. Be sure to set the path to the firmware roms in the SNES path config tab.

Fixed in SVN. As a work around until next release, don't use "Close ROM" while rewind is enabled. (Directly loading another ROM without closing first should work, though).

For some reason, I got it to work after manually setting the Firmware path to where the files were (the File's full path).
Pilotwings works now. Now to test other ROMs.
For those that want to know, here's a list of games that use Custom chips for SNES:
