1: No reason in particular. I vaguely remember seeing that some people preferred zsnes. However, snes9x exhibits the same behavior. I have no real preference either way. 2: MythTV 0.18.1 MythGame 0.18.1 zsnes 1.42 snes9x 1.43 MySQL 4.1.14 3: Yes 4: Roms were retrieved from Vimm's Lair http://vimm.net (if it makes any difference). Super Mario World Super Mario Kart Super Mario All-Stars Super Mario RPG Legend of Zelda (Link to the past) Donkey Kong Country Final Fantasy 3 Super Castlevania IV I'll write up a wrapper script tonight to see if I can get some more visibility on the matter. byron _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
