[kimcane]

version : 0.4me
firmware : 1.5

(1)
details: after loading a save state no sound or crash
(you can play along if you switch something what has sound in game)
occurence: sometimes, depends on game (Secret of Mana 3, Lufia 1 , maybe others too)

(2)
details: frameskip 'AUTO' dont work correct with some games.
good example (Aladdin (G) [t1]) : frameskip 'AUTO' - > 49/32 when frameskip '0' runs with 47/47 - 49/49 (which is the correct speed with this game i think)
occurence: some games, everytime

(3)
details: game stops on certain cutscenes. A "3" is desplaid and game runs normaly after 1-2 sec. 'Maybe because of speedhack'
occurence: everytime (only with ff6 till now)

Just like to say I really love the wifi support that has been added. Keep up the great work

To the point:

version: snes9xTYL-0.4me
firmware: 1.5
details: wifi randomly locks up during play. most times will go back to play within a few seconds but rare chances of the psp locking up.
occourence: sometimes. games: donkey kong and probably others.

same as above
details: logo.zip acts kinda buggy. cant really figure out what is going on yet but it sometimes wont read the zip. pretty sure it is from trying to edit the zip while the emu has usb on. exiting the emu fixes it most of the time.

[hungryhungrysalvo]

version: 0.4.2(without intro) eloader .96
firmware: 2.5
details: Sometime while playing the emulator will freeze up.

example: try to load rom = freeze up (sometimes)

start mario rpg = load time are REALLY long(when loading new screens)

FYI nice emulator.

[pinkpanther]

version : 0.4.2 eloader 0.96
firmware : 2.0

details : freeze and shut off in some games (Chrono Trigger Intro, FF6 battle) --> maybe because i changed the settings

occurence : always.

nice gui but please use closed b-splines (NURBS) for closed surfaces --> looks much better

And can you make it compatible with eloader 0.9 (if possible)?--> i hate the gta loader (auto start is s...t)

[skeldwar]

version: 0.4.2 ME
firmware: 1.50
details: using select button will not delete roms. It will bring up the confirmation. Then when you press O to confirm. It does not delete the ROM.
occurence: Always

version: 0.4.2 ME
Firmware: 1.50
details: when adding NEW roms to the roms folder AFTER you have SNES9XTYL installed on the PSP, the ROMS do not show up in alphabetical order. Not the end of the world but when you start to get dozens or even hundreds of ROMS in your folder, it is REALLY convenient that they automatically be alphabatized.
workaround: I noticed if you cut the roms folder out and paste back in after adding new roms. They do indeed show up in alphabetical order.

[gforce]

version: 0.4.2 ME
firmware: 2.60
details: tried with few game roms with the cheat codes on. cannot make it to work i have load the game once again. i have see a small popup before the game start with "found 2 cheats code" still the codes cannot be used.
occurence: Always

yoyofr could you sticky this thread please so its easier to find?

Thanks.

[karaokefreak]

version : 0.4.2
firmware : 2.6 using eLoader 0.97
details : White Screen when emu is started up --> freeze
occurence : always.

Somebody has already fixed it by cutting off the new intro (somebody here in the forum)
Anyway, might be useful for the next update

[apoklepz]

VERSION : 0.4.2 ME with Intro
FIRMWARE : 1.50
DETAILS : IMAGE(BMP,JPEG)/EBOOT.PBP CORRUPTION CRASH
OCCURENCE : SOMETIMES

Occured to me twice while playing any rom that's playable and switching to a rom that leads either to a blue screen crash or the "error loading rom" message. The consecuences of this crash are fatal to your image files, roms that were being played (zippped) and even other EBOOT.PBP files in your memory stick (emulators mainly). Sometimes it will even corrupt the emulator itself making it non able to run in the PSP anymore. After experimenting this the second time through I went into the file directory with ++File Assitant Homebrew and wasn't able to delete most of the files that had been corrupted. Through USB to my computer the outcome was the same, so I quickly copied the most I could out of the PSP and into my PC and eventually made a Memory Stick re-format through the PSP.

I have tested this twice and it's real & very nasty (I you have many homebrew on your MS). My recommendation to 0.4.2 ME rom testers is to have only what you need in the MS to run SnesTYL (the two eboots/files/roms) or it might lead to messing up your other homebrew.

Other than this, the best emulator yet! Thank You Yoyo & Laxer!
