Did you try to run these games with another emulator (on linux or XP for instance) : perharps your files are corrupted ? try to download these files from elsewhere.

You've chosen possibly two of the hardest to emulate snes games. Both original cartridges had extra hardware on them; I know SO's (which was used to read the compressed graphics in the rom) was never understood well enough to emulate.

Some enterprising people (DeJap iirc) managed to capture the decompressed graphics data from a real cartridge and produced a pack which would convert an original compressed SO rom into a version which could be run on emulators; if you find a copy somewhere you may be able to get this one running, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Can you post  links to the SNES emulators you are using?


Do either support CX00 series in landscape mode?

BTW, Take a look at my NES post in Software section, NES is real easy to setup and there are tons of ROMS....I listed one NES ROM site...

How do you get zemufe running with snes9x? it only runs NES roms for me with znester, and even then znester is buggy on my machine (reversed input-output).
Omicron which ROM do you use? I'm thinking my sharp rom might be the problem.

I've got snes9x+zemufe running fine (well, sort of) on my sharp rom, but I needed to edit the SMC startup script.

The scripts are put in /home/QtPalmtop/bin and have names of the form "zemufe_<game extension>.sh". The default snes9x script zemufe_smc.sh has a "-win" option in it which is no longer supported by the emulator; hence it dies when zemufe tries to launch it. Deleting that option (and adding -ns to turn off the sound) got snes9x running for me.
