Start Secret of Mana and watch the whole intro.
During the scene, where the screen will fly over the world, the textures/sprites of the Mode7-World are heavy shaking and flickering.
Tested with Secret of Mana (G) and the newest windows version (1.52) with fix. I believe this will also influence the gameplay (if you have to travel with the dragon) and makes secret of mana unplayable with 1.52.

It's a known problem in 1.52 (http://www.snes9x.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=4550).
Until the next version is released you can start snes9x with "-hdmatiming 84" and it should no longer flicker. Note that any savestates made without the command line switch will still flicker with the switch present.

Just paste this quick little batch I made for you into a txt file and rename it to a .bat.
Make sure it's the same folder as Snes9x.exe.
Code: Select all
@echo off
echo Loading Snes9x with hdmatiming set to 84...
snes9x -hdatiming 84
echo Exiting...
exit

Does the batch file need to be named anything specific? And the number "84" doesn't seem to have any effect...Am I doing something wrong, or does that number need to be changed?Camo_Yoshi wrote:Just paste this quick little batch I made for you into a txt file and rename it to a .bat.Make sure it's the same folder as Snes9x.exe.Code: Select all

SORRY, FOUND A TYPO! XD
No, it doesn't need to be named anything specific unless you're trying to run it from the command line, in which case I recommend naming it something else.
This is for Secret of Mana specifically, so if you want to run another ROM, you'll probably need to close snes9x and then reopen it.
