So I run Famtasia to play the Legend of Zelda speedrun done in it, and after a minute a lot of stuff goes (for the lack of a better word) funky: [URL=http://img239.imageshack.us/my.php?image=famtasia0du.png]

[/URL] Anyone else get that problem? plus, Famtasia grinds to an annoyingly slow grovel whenever I scale the window :< Geez. I swear, the more I've been using Windows recently (for all this emulator/speedrun stuff!), I've been reminded why I stopped using Windows 95 so long ago...

I hope you stopped using Windows 95 because Windows 98, 2000, and XP were released, lol!

Yes, I have the exact same problems. And it happens on Windows XP too.

xebra: Haha funny. But what I meant is that I left Windows, but a few years and versions later, hey look just more problems that make your head scratch of why it's still popular. TNSe: Ah, so I'm not the only one. BTW, it is Windows XP i'm using.

I think to resolve your problem, if you haven't tried, is to maximize the window. I used to get many problems with Famtasia but now I no longer do. Resizing the window, that makes the program do that thing in which it finds the best draw method. That is normal and only takes about a minute. I don't really know how much you actually know about Famtasia so I thought maybe by accident I have been patronizing you, I apologize in advance. Anyway I hope that may help.
