Sound scraps & rustles

[floyd_83]

Hello everybody,

I am new here and still wondering that SNES emus are still in use... ... that's great!!!

I used the SNES9x years ago on my WinXP PC and it did not work at all - only blackscreen.

So I used zsnes on that OS. With my new Win 7 notebook I rediscovered SNES9x, because zsnes does not work on that plattform.

After setting devices everything works well with the graphic, but the sound scraps ans rustles every few seconds... Because this in nearly the same in every game and with different playback rates and buffer length settings I hope that somebody here can help me with this problem - and perhaps someone has a hint how to use Snes9x on my Win XP, too

Hope that anybody finds this thread through all the spam threads...

Greetings,

First off, if you still have that XP computer, try using the latest Snes9X on it, to see if the black screen goes away.

additionally, it could be your sound drivers or some other sound setting needs to be tinkered within Snes9X -- what is your computer's specs (video card, sound card, RAM, CPU, etc)

On the old XP OS I used the 2007 version, I think there is no newer one?

My Win7 notebook has the sound only onboard (Intel Display Audio), in the the system management I could not find anything specific or a tool to adjust sound ...

Its a HP EliteBook 8460p, this is the data sheet:

try using the new test builds: http://www.s9x-w32.de/dl/testbuilds/

[floyd_83]

I tried the new v1.53 32 on the WinXP OS, that worked, video and sound is fine within my testgame Castlevania4.

So thank you for reminding me of 'always use the newest version' - I thought I did...

The x64 version that I tried on my Win7 notebook says d3dx9_38.dll misses on the PC and doesn't start ??? What the hell???

[floyd_83]

sorry, I found no edit possibility...

The 'd3dx9_38.dll' problem was due to DirectX in some way. I reinstalled that via Windows HP, that helped. So I am running SNes9x 1.53 on both my systems now, sound and video is good.

Interesting, that with the same settings the video looks different on both systems, on the PC the colours are deeper, fuller & darker, on the NB flatter and lighter, e.g. 'Secret of Evermore': metal & concrete looks gray on NB, but with a dark green tough on PC. Is this changeable in SNes9x or do I have to change settings in general . that would be a shame, because everything else works fine with the current settings...

But altogether: THX for incredible games like Street Fighter Alpha, Secret of Evermore etc. that were hard for emulators a few years ago when I got interested in...

all the best,

that is because you don't have Direct X updated, use this tool to update: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... aspx?id=35

snes9x has nothing to do with that - your displays are different (and calibrated differently, if at all).
