Super Metroid

[MiOdd]

Basically, does Super Metroid work? I'm using PocketSNES v6.4.5 I tried several roms and when I load it I see the Nintendo logo it fades to black and then stays black and unresponsive. I can get back to the emulator menu so the emu didn't freeze but the game won't progress past the Nintendo logo. Anybody else have this issue? Do I need to tweak the emulator in any way? or is this game simply not compatible as of yet?

I played and finished Super Metroid on the Wiz, so it must be your ROM.

It works, PAL and NTSC normal versions at least.

PAL runs faster.

still won't work. I tried every iteration of the ROM I could find including all of these....
Super Metroid (E) [!]
Super Metroid (E) [f1]
Super Metroid (JU) [!]
Super Metroid (JU) [b1]
Super Metroid (JU) [b2]
Super Metroid (JU) [b3]
Super Metroid (JU) [b4]
Super Metroid (JU) [b5]
Super Metroid (JU) [f1]
Super Metroid (JU) [f2]
Super Metroid (JU) [t1]

I tried alternate sources too, everything loads the same, Nintendo logo pops up, I get excited, game fades to black then nothing...

I don't know what else to do. Does anybody think upgrading my firmware might make a difference? I've never done that (afraid to actually) I didn't think that would have any impact on current apps. The SNES emulator still works great for other games so idk what makes mine different.

Remember that means bad so don't even bother with those, stick with the [!] ones that mean "Verified".

Ok, I got it. I just deleted my whole PocketSNES folder and downloaded a new one from the archive reinstalled it and my old ROM worked fine... not sure why I didn't do that sooner, or what was even different... the emulator still says the same version number... oh well... works now... yay! :lol:

Thanks!


-EDIT-

Sorta spoke too soon... when I copied over all my saved states, sram and options it stopped working again. Weird... but I it was the global save file that was screwing it up apparently. Deleted that and it started working again, even created a new global save and it kept working... not sure whats going on here but whatever works.
