I just got Snes9x v1.43 for Windows, but I do not know how to play replays (as in .smv files) of games on the site. Under file, there is an option for Movie play... but it is greyed out. How do you play replays that have been downloaded? Thanks.

Have you tried opening a ROM image first?

I first loaded a ROM, then Movie play became available. So I laoded an .smv file (The Illusuions of Gaia one from the site) and the screen briefly says "Movie Replay", then just return to a black screen... am I doing something wrong?

Make sure you are loading the correct ROM. Then play the movie. That's all there should be to it.

What color was the text that showed up on the black screen? Was it white, yellow, or red? Your method sounds right to me, so I think either that game starts with a black screen and you didn't wait long enough for it to change, or your ROM is bad. (If the text is yellow or red that means the ROM is probably bad.)
