snes9xTYL 0.4.x bugs thread

[mariofamous]

My Bahamut Lagoon is just fine. Try cleaning your memory card. Did you use the right version to the emu? You have to take the folder out of the 1.00 version.

version : 0.4.2
firmware : 2.5 using eLoader 0.96

[clydesdale]

Below are a few games that do not play correctly on the current version of snes9xTYL. As a note, I have tried multiple dumps/versions of each, and made sure that they DO work on the PC version of snes9x (Just to be sure its somewhere in the port, not in the original emulator)

version : 0.4.2 ME
firmware : 1.5
details : "Lester the Unlikely" will not progress to the main menu (Or into gameplay thereafter). The game will loop the first two screens indefinitely.
occurrence : always

version : 0.4.2 ME
firmware : 1.5
details : :"Gunforce - Battle Fire Engulfed Terror Island" has a strange bug regarding the bullets fired from the players gun. They do not start at the muzzle of the weapon, and often pass from one side of the screen only to appear on the other side. This can be seen after perhaps 10 seconds of gameplay.
occurrence : always

version : 0.4.2 ME
firmware : 1.5
details : "NHL '98" will not load. Multiple dumps of the U.S. build have been tried.
occurrence : always

version : 0.4.2 ME
firmware : 1.5
details : "Clay Fighters" / "Clay Fighters TE" will not load. Multiple dumps of the U.S. build have been tried.
occurrence : always

version : 0.4.2 ME
firmware : 1.5
details : The U.S. (U) version of Sonic Blast Man II will crash when loading the first level. This does not happen in the Japanese (J) version though oddly enough. I have tried multiple dumps of the U.S. build to be sure its not the rom.
occurrence : always

version : 0.4.2 ME
firmware : 1.5
details : "Aliens Vs. Predator" Screen display flickers on and off with black lines when more than one enemy is on screen. This happens in both the U.S. (U) build and the European (E) builds. Multiple dumps of the rom have been tried. This does not occur in the Japanese (J) rom.
occurrence : always


As a side note after testing hundreds of games on this emulator these few here are the only ones I see problems with. The compatibility rate as a whole is fantastic. Thanks so much for this amazing emulator.

version: 0.4.2 snes9xtyl standard
firmware: 2.01 running eLoader 0.97
details: No sound when joining or hosting a network game; once occured, the GUI "tick" sound (when moving/browsing the menu) is permanently mute, even when restarted and turned off then turned back on. Also, frequent sync occurences when playing with a 1.5 PSP that runs SNES9xTYL 0.42 from system menu

[ilovemanga]

version : 0.4.2
firmware : 1.5
details : I used to have Pro Fighter X and it uses diskettes for SNES system. Problem with snes9xTYL emulator is, if there are 3 or more seperate file like:
sf2t.1
sf2t.2
sf2t.3, then it only loads first 2 parts. It loads, it crashes.
occurrence : always

[deftonesmx7]

Version : 0.4.2 STD

Firmware : 2.60 : tested with the following : eloader 0.96 / eloader 0.96 with emenu 0.1final / eloader 0.97 / eloader 0.97 with emenu 0.1 final (all tested on two different PSP's)

details : Whenever I run the emulator(snes9xtyl) after I have ran any other homebrew, once I press square or circle to start a rom inside snes9xTYL I get an error of "sound device open failed" then the rom will act like it is loading and then it will freeze right before the rom is loaded fully.

Games : All

Occurrence : always

[weberman]

version : 0.4.2
firmware : 2.6 using eLoader 0.96
rom: Super Punch-Out!!
details : can't unlock special circuit once you beat minor, major and world circuit at a record of 4-0.
occurance: allways

[shame13]

weberman turn off speed hacks, delete the sram and start over......i had this same problem. it seems the programmers made it so if a game genie touches this game, it locks special circuit. and after you unlock special circuit, and your sure the sram saved it, you can turn speed hacks back on.

[greekslover]

version: 0.4.2me
fw:1.5
1) If I enable the spc player in the menu, and then try to save a savestate, the savestate is corrupted.
2) I can't play Donkey Kong Country 3 multiplayer. the 2P can only play if we swap with select or the 1P loses. Is it a bug or normal?

[master1motoko]

details: the discalimer screen scrolls up by itself and the X and O buttons don't respond
occurance: sometimes

Update to snes9xTYL v0.4.2me and see if that fixes the problem

[glagha]

Version: snes9xTYL 0.4.2
Firmware: 2.6 using Eloader .97 + GTA:LCS
Detail: Most games will save state without error, but apon attempting to load save state, I get the error "Not in snes9x freeze format!" and it refuses to load. Also, with Super Mario All-stars, after I save, the state isn't even in the menu to load, as if it didn't save at all. Regardless of all this, any in-game saving seems to have no effect, as the save is gone when the game is reloaded. Randomly changed backgrounds also usually just change to a plain black screen, until I restart snes9x. The background when I return is, at least from every time i've tried, always either Akuma, or Faye. The others never seem to pop up, though that's probably just a matter of luck. The intro also very rarely freezes.

[pspnewb]

thanks master!

version : 0.42me.
firmware : 1.5
details : In megaman X2, the game still crashes during the battle with wheel gator.
occurence : always.

version : 0.42me.
firmware : 1.5
details : In megaman X2, when fighting wire sponge, It seems as though a random number or something is not being generated so he just runs back and forth making the battle unchalenging and when you kill him, explosions are only in one spot as opposed to being all over. with my basic programming knowlege, it seems as though a random number would be generated here to make different actions.
occurence : always.

[pspnewb]

use winrar, oh and one other thing this is for bugs in the "EMULATOR" , not with problems opening the file that contains the emulator

[prometheus]

Version: 4.2 ME
Firmware: 1.50
Details: In Super Metroid there is a flicker on the top of the screen.. 2 actually
occurence: constantly

also, sometimes the rendering is AWFUL, but taking it to the menu for a second alleviates that.. not much of amajor bug but worth mentioning.

and. Using R and L triggers simultaneously apparantly disables the D-pad. Im glad you guys fixed it working in general, but I'm pretty sire Samus is supposed to be able run while pointing the gun straight up.

[master1motoko]

ok, i'm sorry if this has already been answered before, and i'm pretty sure it has, but i could not find the d**n post

ok, to the point

when I take a snapshot of the game Chrono Trigger it does not show up in the ROM selection screen. This also happens to Contra 3, FF2, FF mystic quest, FF3, Harvest Moon, Megaman X, The legend of the Mystical Ninja, Zelda: A link to the Past, and BS Zelda. If someone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Once again sorry, if a solution was already given

Emulator: v.0.4.2me
Firmware:1.50

[nguman]

Version 0.4.2
Firmware: 2.00 using Eboot Loader Bock 0.97

[sirusd]

occurrence: always

[entry]

Version : 0.4.2me
Firmware : 1.5
Rom: Super Turrican
Details: instable frame rate, instable sound
Occurence: all versions all settings as far as I tested, during gameplay, maybe other games also (best speed on acc. soft), speed gets lower on higher demand and vice versa

[beingernest]

Okay, here's a puzzling one....

I downloaded the new Snes Emulator without intro as I couldn't get any of the other 0.4.2 versions to work. Well I managad to get it working on my 2.1 psp with the eLoader 0.95 version. Then I managed (with some difficulty) to get it working on my girlfriends 2.5 psp with bock and emenu.

Now I've also got a PSP 2.5 and tried all 0.4.2 versions both with bock and with and without emenu (I don't want to use any of the older eLoaders). My question is why will it run ok on my girlfriends PSP and not on mine? (we both have same PSP's with same programs. Has anyone one else had similar probs - any solutions??? (I even tried copying her files over onto mine - no success) Help!!!

Regards. B.E.

[sirusd]

Version: 0.4.2me
Firmware: 1.5
Details: For some games, the "Fix HiRes Hidden Details" option does not work properly. When activated, it causes the screen to vibrate. When it's not activated, several items are missing (hence, the need for it to be active). This has been the case mostly with menus. The premier case that I can think of at the moment is Secret of Mana.
Occurrence: Always.

[jfirestorm44]

version: 0.4.2
firmware: 2.0
details: FF3 freezes in the same exact battle with the mamoths at the begining of the game. No matter what rom I use or how I congfig. the video it still doesn't work. Some help with this would be great.

Zelda 3 freezes every time I try to walk in the house where the elder is I tried the same things to fix it as above but no luck.

[prettzv]

I have seen it mentioned before, but not sure when..
Version 0.4.2Me
Firmware 1.0
Details: Romancing saga patched with lunar ips patchers, all 3 will not start, same with Y's 4, and 5 expert. All roms tested on pc came up fine, as did the japanese counterparts. It is only the patched roms.

[prettzv]

Version 0.4.2ME
Firmware 1.0
Details: So this is what is going on, I went to take snapshots in Lufia I and Lufia II. Neither of the snapshots take. No other series has had this issue, only these two games. The snapshots are there on the memory card, but not displaying in the UI.

[eiyosus1]

Version: 0.4.2me
Firmware: 1.5

Details: My problem is whenever I load a save state in ANY GAME, there is no sound. The thing is, this didn't use to happen but now it does. Any ideas?
