LOADING A
ROM
Go to the
"Game" menu and then go to "Load". If you put
the ROM in the same folder that the ZSNES is in then you should
see the "smc" of the ROM. Double click on it and the
game will begin to run. But if you put the ROM file in a
different folder then you have to look for it in your computer's directory.

- ZSNES FAQ -
Q: For the
Windows version of ZSNES, when its a window--how the heck do I move it?
A: You see those red spots in that picture? That's what you need to grab to drag
the window.
| Q:
What does the SAVE STATE feature do and how do I use it? A: SAVE STATE saves the exact spot you are in a ROM. You can recall your saved state by going to LOAD STATE. Remember that you must have the ROM loaded in order to load its save state. ZSNES lets you have multiple save states for each ROM. Use PICK STATE to choose which save state you want to save or load. |
. |  |
Q:
Do you know any places where I can download save states?
A: The ZSNES Homepage has a save state archive. At the
homepage, go to "WWW Board" and you should be able to
find the archive from there. And this web site has a good
collection too: The
Saved Game Archive.
But go to the ZSNES Homepage first cause their save state archive
is huge.
| Q: How do I use
Game Genie codes? A: Load the ROM you want to use Game Genie codes with. Go to the "Cheat" menu and then to "Add Code". In the black space next to "Enter Code" type the Game Genie code. Don't forget to add the "-" and don't put any spaces. Then in the black space next to "Description" type what the code does in as little words as possible. And then click on "Add". If ZSNES won't let you add the code then that means the code you put doesn't work. If ZSNES accepts the code then that means it works. When you finish entering the code(s), go to the "Game" menu and reset the ROM. Now you can play your ROM with the Game Genie codes you entered! Cheat! Cheat! Cheat! Q: Do you know
where I can find Game Genie codes? |

Q: Your ROM
keeps on freezing in the same place! Is it defective?
A: None of my ROMs are defective. I have gotten
all of them from the best emulation sites. Emulation isn't perfect so freezing
can happen. Once it happens--you're screwed. The only thing you can do is
frequently save so when freezing occurs you won't lose that much of your
progress in
a game.
Q: I still can't see a thing!
The screen is covered by a layer of something.
A: This is why its important to change your video mode but if you already tried
and it didn't work then that means your computer doesn't have "Vesa". There are
still other ways for you to be able to see where you're going.
ROMs have up to four background layers. Since your computer can't
handle transparency, a whole background layer covers the screen.
The 4 background layers can be turned on and off by pressing
either 1, 2, 3, or 4.
