when i install everything new, the first hack works without problems. but when i add a second hack i have the same problems. am i doing anything wrong?
it sucks to install everything new because of one hack

Okay.

first off, you ARE putting the ips patches in your saves or ROM folder (depending on your configuration), as well as naming them the same as your ROM file? (example: smw.smc smw.ips)

Failing that, some of the patches may be dependent on emulator bugs that were present in older versions of Snes9X and/or ZSNES. Hell half (if not a majority) of SMW hacks were known to fail even on the real system.

yes, i am putting them in my ROM folder and i am naming them the same name as my ROM file.

as i said, when i erase all the files and everything, the first hack that i download, works without problems.
the problem starts when i add a new hack. but i do the same during the installing as on the first hack. you know what i mean?:)

in german? okay :)
Der erste hack den ich runterlade funktioniert immer ohne probleme.
wenn ich dann noch einen hack herunterlade, hoert die musik mittendrin auf und nach dem level wird der bildschrim schwarz.
auch der erste hack funktioniert dann nichtmehr.
wenn ich alles neu installiere, also auch snes9x, geht es wieder, bis ich einen zweiten hack installiere. dann faengt das problem von vorne an.
es macht keinen spass immer alles neu zu installieren.

ich bitte um hilfe!

are you talking about multiple .ips patches for a single ROM?

There is a good chance that the second IPS patch doesn't work with the first one. If the first one rearranges things in the ROM's data at all, and the second patch tries to change something in that data address, it will change the wrong thing and cause problems.

You may also be using a patch that doesn't work with SNES9x. A lot of patches have issues running with emulators that aren't the emulator used when making the patch in the first place. This is one of Byuu's main complaints about inaccurate SNES emulation.
