Hey all -
Currently attempting to play Earthbound, and having some issues defrosting states. Before I go on, I'll post some specs.
MacBook Air 4,2 running OS X 10.8.0 (Also had the issue OS upgrade, running 10.7.4)
Running the game, and using SRAM saves works just fine. However, when defrosting a save state, Snes9x hangs, and constantly posts this message to the log:
Snes9x[29021]: Interesting, possibly buggy case: w = 2; k = 0x7fe07fe0
Oddly enough, I was able to use saved states with this computer on Earthbound without issue. I'm also unable to open the .oops freeze that gets created when you pop in and out of emulation, so I don't think it's just the sole state file in question.
I can attach the freezes upon request. Thanks all!

Re: Defrosting State causes Snes9X to Hang [Mac 1.53]
The message appears, but defrosting seems to work fine for me, running OS X 10.8... are you using 1.53(113)?
Re: Defrosting State causes Snes9X to Hang [Mac 1.53]
I'm sorry, I should have posted the build version. Yes, I am running 1.53 113. Any other debugging or logging information I can collect for you?

ditto on the save state loading, it works fine for me, just like it always has in previous versions, not sure what to tell you.

Try redownloading, you may have gotten a corrupt archive.

What operating system are you using? 32 or 64bit? Version of Snes9x? Is the text at the bottom of the window white when you load the game?
These suggestions are usually the solution to your issue!

Redownloading seems to have done the trick, although I'm not quite sure why. Thanks for your help, all. In addition, are MD5's posted anywhere for me to check so I can avoid this problem in the future?

if it matters, where did you originally download the file? and when you re-downloaded it did you use one of our official mirrors?
