Trouble with Zsnes

[Alpha17x]

I've been trying to get SNES working through connecting zsnesw.exe to hyperspin.

Initially the problem was that the database did not reflect the names for the rom files;

For example The database looks for 'Megaman X3 (USA).zip'

The rom on the majority of locations it's listed on is almost always listed as 'Megaman X3 (U) [!].zip' or .smc

With the database updated to correct for this I tried again. This time paying closer attention to the message. It stated that it could not launch the game with 'any extension provided' I think to myself that it might just be looking for zips, and some of my roms are unzipped. so to be safe I add this in the extensions field for the emulator in HQ;

'zip, smc, 7z'

I launch HS, go to the SNES section, try again, same error. So I go into my roms folder, and verify on 10 roms for testing purposes, that their listed names in the folder are exactly, letter for letter, space for space, the same as those listed in the database.

I then verify that all possible extensions are covered. all of my roms are in zip, 7z, and smc formats, no other formats or compression methods are present. the games I tested were already in .smc format.

I tested both in 'normal' launch mode, and 'hyperlaunch' mode. normal mode will open the emulator itself which will have it's load menu open, but it will not have launched the game. Hyperlaunch mode will produce the error message.

I'm still looking through the documentation section for emulator set ups.

The only thing I can think of is, maybe I seperated the extensions wrong? some programs use ext, ext, ext or ext; ext; ext; really depends on the app.

If the information is clearly in HS, I can't see it. I've got it connected to an old tv because it's in a cabinet. I can barely read what HQ has written in it (my fault obviously on that one)

ANyone else have trouble with this emulator?

SO far I just have MAME working, which is working without flaw.

Make sure there are no spaces after the commas (I'm not sure if that matters).

Make sure that your roms are all in your rompath and not in any separate subfolders in the rompath. If the rom is in a subfolder of your rompath it won't find it unless the name of the rom matches the name of the subfolder.

Tried it, I'm at a loss here. Zsnesw is the one that's supposed to work with HS right? I wonder what I'm doing wrong. Database names, and file names match, extensions are covered. using the most recent version of zsnes. hmmm Maybe I"m using the wrong emulator. I"ll try snes9xw.

I had the same problem recently. I kept getting it could not launch the game with 'any extension provided' error. what worked for me was I just did the long way and unzipped all the roms and put it in the rom folder and thats where i noticed that I had certian roms that had the wacked out file names for example "ms.smc.pacman" and I just obviously changed the name back to "ms pacman.smc" and viola! it worked. Thats what happened to me, not to say this your problem. but you should check it out just to be safe.
