I am using snes9x v1.53. Whenever I play Super Punch-Out, the game crashes during the Mad Clown fight. By crash, I mean that it displays a garbled mess of sprites on the screen. The emulator is still functioning and I can reset and start playing again.

It could be a bad rom, but the checksum is ok and it's supposed to be "verified," for what it's worth. Has anyone run into this before?

EDIT: Here is a screenshot of the crash. The emulator itself crashed shortly after I took this screenshot.

This is definitely an emulator bug. I can verify that game plays fine with BSNES but crashes during Mad Clown fight in SNES9X 1.53.

Thats odd, Super Punch out never did that to me on my Snes9x 1.53?.

I know this is an old topic but since after checking on the latest build of 1.53 if this was still the case (my bro plays better than me it's one of his favourite games so I had him playtest this), it seems this issue never got corrected. Have their been any attempts to fix this? Cause I get the exact same issue. I know playing with the PAL rom is one workaround, but having to play the game in 50Hz kinda sucks :/. ZSNES gets that part of the game right, no crashes but I hate the video options of ZSNES, I vastly prefer SNES9X and this is, for now, the one game that I can't play correctly on SNES9X. Would be great if someone could figure out what's going on and fix the issue.

For the record, I get the exact same thing as mentioned in the op, the game just crashes in the middle of the mad clown fight and this is always caused by his special attack kind of thing, so the glitch can be reproduced consistently on the emulator. It crashes absolutely every time Mad Clown does that.

I also have this problem. I understand that the devs are busy people, but this bug is very frustrating. I would even make a donation if it would help.

Same here, even using the latest Snes9x testbuild. The mad clown usually crashes when he is doing the brain squash.

Test and confirmed. Bug is clearly reproducible. The mad clown crashes every time he is doing the brain squash (except the very first time).

In case if anyone wants to investigate that bug, I have uploaded the save state. Simply load it and you can fight Mad Clown directly.

Note that I'm using the latest testbuild 29012015

Would someone be willing to post a link to a euro pal rom that works for the mad clown fight?

I found a Europe rom, but it still crashed

Thanks

I too would offer to make a donation to fix this bug. This game is one of my favourites of all time, and to not be able to get past this part of the game is frustrating....

So... are we just out of luck on this issue? Is there any development on SNES9X?

Use game genie code

to prevent him from doing the special attack, this worked for me.

I hated cheating but it can be turned off after skipping that part.

sorry to revive an old thread but i was going nuts trying to get passed him and google kept bringing me here, figured I would do society a solid for once.
