Sorta. A lot of keyboards have ridiculous restrictions on what keys can be pressed at the same time. Try remapping your run and jump keys to the homerow, using the numeric keypad instead of the arrow keys, et cetera. See if any of that makes a difference.

If you're just looking to put together an adequate config, I'd suggest turning vsync off . That'll eliminate issues with different monitors' refresh rates throwing the sound off, although there will be the possibility of some screen tearing. Would it be possible to tweak the program so that it threa...

OH HAHA you're right, Camo. >_<

Turn on vsync.

Somehow I got 'vertical bars' in my head instead of horizontal. DERP

Replies: 6

SNES9x itself -should- be compartmentalized enough by OSX to prevent kernel panics from happening. None of what it does is low-level enough, as far as I know, to seriously screw with what the kernel's doing. What games are you running when it crashes? Could it be ones using a custom chip? Have you t...

I'm with zones on this one. I honestly can't think of how SNES9x could cause a kernel panic in Darwin unless there's a seriously screwed up driver or the like.

I wasn't serious. :) I'll continue to keep tabs on the Android port and do what I can. After all, I like SNES9x - I'm glad to help.

Point taken. I'm going to close the poll.

Thanks.

--edit--

I'm going to ask Yong if we can fold his framework into an official SNES9x port, regardless. That'll satisfy this particular itch, at least.

we may be able to count that as relinquishing interest in the copyright of the works No. I remember some of them rejected GPL. Crap. Can you remember who specifically?

LAN versus internet is the same, except the moment you go outside your local network the lag gets atrocious. SNES9x is running two instances of the same thing, one on each computer, and if either side gets out of sync at all due to user input it has to figure out what happened. If it can't communica...

Uncheck the 'stretch image' box in the Display Configuration and don't use fullscreen. If that doesn't fix it, you need to change your desktop resolution. Warped lines on the screen happen because the emulator isn't displaying the game at a proper ratio, or because you are running your operating sys...

if snes9x goes GPL, what about the older versions of snes9x? would they be GPL or would they be "grandfathered into" the older license? Given permission by the copyright holders, we could 're-release' the old versions by changing the licenses in the source code; barring that, only the new...

Turn off 'stretch image' in the display configuration.

Either that or turn on bilinear filtering and increase SNES9x's resolution (stretch the window larger if you're using windowed mode).

Though personally I would prefer the WTFPL. But that's just me. XD The only problem I have with the WTFPL in this instance is that several of the developers take issue with others profiting off of their work without some sort of compensation. The GPL seems like a good compromise to me in that it fo...

If you want to change Snes9x's license, you have to ask all the past and active developers who wrote codes for Snes9x, but it's nearly impossible. Nearly, but (probably) not impossible. As mentioned, I'd be willing to go to some lengths to see it through if it's what the team wants. And I'm hoping ...

Should SNES9x change its license to GPL? NOT HAPPENING :(

--EDIT-- Idea shot down. Thanks for everyone's time and consideration though! I chatted with Kendora last night, he is not going to consent to it. He has said this many times in statements in the past, even when he was the primary coder of SNES9x. Let's face it, making SNES9x GPL is not going to ha...
