Multiple Lingering Processes
Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2015 6:38 pm
Hello SNES9x community,
I tried using v1.53 earlier. It seems to work well save the following issue. When going to exit an instance of the emulator, the window closes but the snes9x-x64.exe process remains running. If I open the emulator again (usually, I have to load a different ROM than before), another process opens and will linger after exiting. According to Process Explorer, the processes use a marginal amount of CPU (<0.01%) and about 27KB of private memory. I can't kill nor suspend the processes in Process Explorer (nor Task Manager); the only way to end them is to reboot. I noticed this when trying to delete the SNES9x root folder. The contents that refuse to be deleted are the .exe and the standard error and standard output text files. I tested this with the x86-32 version and found the same problem.
These processes stack up, and such a problem would unfortunately steer me away from SNES9x. I hope to resolve it; thank you kindly in advance for your thoughts and comments.
System configuration:
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 x86-64
Intel i7-3770K
16 GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
