It works currently. It is the only APU timing hack game left, and that might change if we decide to remove the timing hack code, since it's used for just that game.

Same thing happens in Super Mario RPG to the intro when the butterflys fly away from Peach. Is there anyway to fix this? Because that's the only issue I have with it.
SA1 timing emulation is very screwed up. It's actually almost nonexistent, that's something to fix.

I meant when you're playing a movie file created with snes9x itself. You know, when you go on "File > Movie Record". Basically, if you put your .smv to replay and close the emulator, it crashes.

Here's a video showing what happens (both on 32 and 64 bit versions of the emulator):

I haven't tried it on Windows, but this doesn't happen to me with Linux (Arch 32-bit). Using Wine, though, it acts like your 64-bit example where it crashes when you exit.

I've reproduced it and fixed it in git. Will be in the next testbuild.

Hello. The obscure game Haisei Mahjong - Ryouga (Japan) has inconsistent audio, despite claims of improved accuracy with SMP.
1.53 runs it ok.

Hello, it's me again.

It's been months since I reported that BEX error and the fixed version isn't out yet. Is there any estimate for when it will be released?

Donkey Kong Country 3 runs 60/60 but has slowdowns. How to fix it? In Zsnes this not happen, but I love xBRZ filter in Snes9x.

Yo, creators of the excellent emu, Zenju wanted to know if you guys could use the better icons he posted in the xBRZ thread. I too happen to think SNES9x needs a better taskbar icon. Something to maybe look at for the next release.

Damn, I am really behind the times. Haven't checked for an update in so long, I didn't know 1.54 was even out. Happy to see things are still moving along though.

Didn't realize there was ever an issue with Super Punch Out. Is this something that happens only on 1.54? Been playing it on and off for years on previous versions and never noticed the issue with Mad Clown. I suppose maybe I beat him too fast for it to happen though... lol.

Also, I'm both amused and slightly sad to see that the down/left / down/right configuration bug has been fixed. That bug has been there since forever (at least v1.43). At this point, I half expected it would never be fixed and instead left as a joke or something :D

Does anybody know how to get shaders to work with this? They don't seem to work anymore. I can't get scaleFX to work in either retroarch or the newest version of this game.

Can the creators PLEASE kindly tell me how or make it so we can use the scaleFX shader. It really is an amazing shader and it would be very much appreciated. I have tried doing everything I can. It just black screens on me. I cannot get any shaders working.
