damn emulator problems

[divadsci]

why is it that when i try to open a rom on some emulators (snes emu for example) the whole system restarts?

The emulators still dont play every game out there. Sometimes they lock or restart the system. Also, make sure you're batteries arnt on their way out either, as this can also cause this to happen.

make sure your batteries have enough juice in them

Could be a dozen things ... could be a ROM that isn't compatible, could be a bad ROM, could be low batteries ...

If you provide more details, I'm sure that there are many people here that would help you try and troubleshoot the problem.

If its Snes9x we're talking about, definitely try newer batteries. If it doesn't have the energy it turns itself off - but since the power button is still set to ON, it resets at a lower clockspeed. You'll prolly find it starts to work with newer batteries, and that those ones stop working at all relatively soon.

I haven't found a rom which actually resets the emu... roms which don't run, okay... but resetting...?
Not as far as I know... really sounds like power weakness.

snes9x works fine (although a bit slow) for all the roms i tried (starfox -way way way too slow simcity etc) but when i tried to play them on snes emu to see which would work faster it just restarted on any rom i tried. the batteries are new so that isn't the problem.
