Seriously how hard is it to configure settings? It takes my on average 15 seconds to do it. And WIPS usually come out a few days apart anyways.

 

[hushypushy]

well all i gotta do is input, resolution and change the sound sampling (44khz). thats about 20-30 seconds probably, but it would be nice if it was like SNES9x which had a registry setting that saved all that stuff.

 

[Raziel]

Err, since the WIP doesn't contain a .cfg file, you shouldn't have to reconfigure your Zsnes each time, at least I don't.

 

[hushypushy]

hey there's a new one (december 18) (http://zsnes.emuhost.com/). when you get it, it doesnt have a cfg file. as soon as you open the .exe it makes one for you, however.

Or use your old one if you still have it.

Yes that is true Raziel. But according to the Zsnes authors, you should delete your old zsnes.cfg before running the updated .exe.

i hope that ipher makes it like SNES9x where there's a thing in the registry for it....

 

[Noxious Ninja]

Gah, no. zSNES does not need to use registry keys, it is doing quite well without them.

 

[hushypushy]

what's wrong with registry keys?

 

[Noxious Ninja]

It would make configuring zSNES harder.

 

[hushypushy]

how so? SNES9x is a cinch to configure...and it stays even when you upgrade.

 

[Yeloazndevil]

my zsnes config stays when I upgrade. I don't bother with reconfiguring everything

News: ZSNES WIP December 20 Released

IPS files now buffered. [Nach]
Fixed loading a second IPS file in one ZSNES session. [Nach]
Implemented IPS patching from ZIP files. [Nach]
Fixed a config file corruption bug. [Nach]

 

[Kirby]

I don't remember having a problem with corruption, but a update is an update

 

[mr.saraiva]

i wonder why snes9x's sdd-1 decompression code did not make into zsnes yet

 

[l3illyl3ob]

zsnes already has such code i think, i just dont think they're including it in the wip.

 

[Archlyn]

They aren't. It's being used as an incentive for people to wait for the true final version.

 

[hushypushy]

which is a dumb reason not to put it in.

 

[Clements]

No it isn't a dumb reason. They are not adding the SDD-1 compression until the final Star Ocean patch is finished to prevent n00bs flooding the ZSNES board with requests or problems. It will be in ZSNES very soon, and you have gfx packs anyway until then.

And using the registry is a backwards step. Visualboy Advance just got rid of the registry which is a good thing because it is easily alterable. A reg key is bad for many reasons, such as n00bs not knowing where the reg key is, as well as it being practically ineditable. A CFG/INI file can simply be deleted to "reset" the emulator much more safely than fiddling with registry settings.

@Clements :wave:
i´m ABSOLUTLY your opinion, regarding reg entrys!
glN64 and ePSXe executor also using this -_-
after new win instal. or on diffrent System you have to reconfigure -_-
thats IMO an BIG disadvantage
also my Win 98 reg is kinda trashy and glN64 load/save its setting from reg so i suffer also...
i would appreciate that EVERY Emuautor wouldn´t use the reg , but its up to them like i said imo big disadvantage...
regarding ZSNES SDD-1 Support yeah i´m looking forward to play SF Aplha 2 WITHOUT GFX pack!!!
