Zsnexbox 3.3 Options

[nes6502]

Yes the roms are good, but after doing some tinkering around I've figured out it has something to do with the Path.ini .. in the FAQ it talked about a " \ " that shouldn't be there at the end of the path values. So I looked at the Path.ini and every one of them had the slash at the end (was like that when I downloaded it). After removing all of the slashes, all of the games work properly now. Also, if I set it to usePathINI=0 , this solves the freezing issue as well. Hope this isn't too confusing

You must have the "\" at the end of all the paths. The FAQ is outdated. It worked because you set usepathINI to 0. It's creating all the folders on E:\ZsnexBox. Your problem likely was you ftpd over ZsnexBox and some folders didn't transfer (because they were empty)

After checking it again i noticed that these folders don't get uploaded to the xbox because they are empty. Either create them directly on the xbox with your ftp program or just put an empty file like placeholder.txt in each folder before uploading them to the xbox. Problem solved.

Oops. This is what happens when you rush to get a release out. Minor things get overlooked.

"Install: Extract and copy all files and folders to your Xbox hard drive. Run "default.xbe" to start. Delete your old ZsnexBox.ini and Path.ini files if upgrading."

-- Can you run this directly off the dvd without manually copying / ftp'ing to the hard drive? If not, is it possible to add an install routine to do this automatically? (check if the folder exists...read the version number from a txt file... and command shell to copy the files... if the version is old or doesn't exist.)

Yes, you can run this off a DVD. You must first open the Path.ini and change usepathINI=1 to usePathINI=0 before you burn it.

Well i tried this out man these games fly now they play like 8x faster and i turned up everything wow the code must have been massively optimized. The light gun games play allot better also the gun don't lag on the screen as much when you have the cross hair on its a hella lot smoother. and most games dont have and skipped frames and the frame rate hasn't dropped on a single game I've played. Awsome work NES.

Keep up the alsome work

You're exactly right, that was the problem. It works GREAT now though! Everything from the graphics in all of the menus to the game play, all of it is completely outstanding. Great job on this nes6502! Thank you for all of the time that you've put into this for all of us!

Zsnexbox 3.4 - New option in this release renames all of your roms, guides and pictures, puts them in their proper folders, and zips everything up for you.

Zsnexbox 3.5 - The first XBox app to feature a defragger for your HDD, increasing performance even more!

Zsnexbox 3.6 - New version adds an option to do your taxes and e-file in the background while you are playing FFII in hi-def.

Zsnexbox 3.7 - Works for you all day so you have more time for retro gaming.

Zsnexbox 3.8 - Launches SkyNet into orbit, and dooms all of mankind. But it is still a damned fine emulator.

lol wtf

LOL, great!

especially version 3.8, that explains many things i didn't get when i watched the movie, now i know that Nes is the guy who started it all...

[DaveGeorge]

Thanks mate, this is the best!!


BTW:
That pesky Breath of Fire II freeze bug is still there (but there's probably Zsnes at fault). But it's easily solved by fiddeling around with the audio settings.. Turns out Gaussian sound interpolation messes it up.. Use Cubic spine and it works perfectly

[DaveGeorge]

Bah, seems like I was a little too quick to post my last message..

Bof II still freezes and I can't edit my last post..

hello nes6502.
fantastic release, thank you for your hard work! my boys and I love this and it just brought a bunch life back to the ol' xbox

does this app work with with wireless controllers? i have 3 wireless controllers and once the app launches, the control stops (meaning you are stuck on the opening page and can not navigate). i rebooted, but this time having wired controllers plugged in instead and everything worked perfectly. the wireless ones work fine everywhere else, so i know they are not faulty.
is there any config setting i need to change to allow wireless controllers to work?

thanks again for the app!

Wow, this is an amazing app. Is there any way to reset the position of the screen if you've adjusted the size/position though during a game? I did and kinda messed it up, I was hoping I could move it back to default.

Sure. Just reload the GUI. Options->GUI Options->Skins I think

[Freezing Alone]

That worked perfectly, thanks! Great app by the way, you're a god among men.

Hey great emu. I think I was using the snes9x port before this and I just hated it. One suggestion though: netplay? My NES and Genesis emu's (they run on the xbox) have it built in but I would really like it for SNES.
