ZSNES Emulation Tutorial

[ZZombies4Fun]

Wierd cause coolrom.com has stated that they arent going to let people download ESA protected games and I tried to download Golden Axe for Genesis and it said ESA protected and when I downloaded Final Fantasy VI for Super Nintendo it didnt say anything about ESA Protected so does this mean its legal or what does it mean? and BTW I own FFVI

[MasterTibian159]

Fuck

[jasonjellie23]

Also, when u say it's illegal unless u own the game, are u saying that u can actually take the physical data from the original game mean Ur bought version and run it on an emulator?

[jasonjellie23]

Is that a good method for being able to patch Rom hacks of the games like smw?

[Laven333]

I have had Lunar Magic for a long time, but couldn't play my levels I made. I didn't have an emulator

[Shmibleh]

it wont let me save state OR load state. someone help?

[Neocasko]

@Shmibleh Use SNES9X

[Shmibleh]

@Neocasko emmmmmmm yeah i got that fixed the next day -.-

[Neocasko]

@Shmibleh Nice. 

[Randomizer80]

Just downloaded a game :b I really don't know how It worked but I'm jsut happy it finally did work, thanks dude

[cutmass]

loading a game seams impossible how do i do that!

[Neocasko]

@cutmass Extract it with 7-zip

[patblack7]

thanks!

[mariosunshinefaan]

FOR THOSE WHO WONDERS: both emulator and roms are free if you own them of real console (you can even huy it on the wii or sonething

[Maustyk527]

megaman x needs to be remade for the wii :(

[radnoybaku]

FUCK YOU

[RickyRatte]

lol, all the ROMs I wanted were protectet by the ESA

[inu5450]

@RickyRatte Go to emuparadise(DOT)org

[NinPokemz]

I have a question.For example I'm playing a Mario game on ZSNES,when I quit and play the Mario game again,all of my progress got erased.How can u save your progress when you want to stop playing?

[MrDoomdesire]

[qpoRmGoqp]

[joc95]

will i get a virus from downloading any of this stuff?

[KingN641994]

depends on the site

[Link10111213]

i cant find a program to open a file

[Elisamuel22]

Thank you for this video, you saved my life.

[bumtaksi]

@Elisamuel22 you were in critical situation,and he saved your life?

[RuFiOPx]

whats the point of extracting the rom?i just download it and drag it into the zsnes folder......am i doing it wrong sorry if i sound stupid .can some on plz answer me

[TheKidsAreAllRed]

@RuFiOPx That's what I do, and it works fine.

[THEnumberS373N]

when i try to run the game the screen just goes black and it doesnt start. i downloaded a hack from super mario central. help me!

[sag212003]

FUCK the ESA

[Waytv40]

When I open the game the screen just stays black. What's wrong?

[codyjt5150]

@yoshiegg101 yea look up kaizo mario world, its legal, i played it last night, i cant get past the first level. look it up on google. you don't even need the real copy of the game for kaizo mario to work

[Ultima770]

I got a question, how do I get my axispad to work on it?

[hockeycuber101]

will i go to jail

[AutomatedSam]

@hockeycuber101 You will, see you there!

[TheKidsAreAllRed]

@AutomatedSam We'll all be cellmates. :P

[n64central]

@hockeycuber101 no people know about roms but it not a huge problem its very minor

[ThaMachinima]

@hockeycuber101 Yes but I get all my stuff from Emuparadise . org/Emu-zone . com

Works and is legal. The only thing they don't have out YET is Xbox 360 and ps3. And you will NOT go to jail.

[codyjt5150]

@hockeycuber101 no, these games are to old to be on the copyright label. so its now freeware

[643eddie]

I've got windows vista 64-bit so I take it ZSNES 1.51 won't work 4 it then. What's even worse is I can't use my BT Home Hub 2.0 as a fallback cos that hub isn't compatible in order 2 uze the Wii Virtual Console. I have'nt tried downloading yet. The other alternative is using Swap Magic in order 2 get them onto PS2 but then I've heard that some of the games run crappy usin swap magic instead of usin ZSNES which is deemed 2 b alot better. What du I du?

[cma12346]

yo this vid helped alot, thanks bro

[cma12346]

YO thanks for the video bro, this really helped man, thanks for posting

[cma12346]

YO thanks for the video bro, this really helped man, thanks for posting

[timefly29]

is it illegal to download rom hacks like super mario world rom hacks and i have the one for the gameboy not for snes so i don't know if it's illegal?

[kragger1985]

hey happy ignore that loser about what's legal and what not.

Let me just say thank you for the time you have provided for this tut.

i'm having problems with this tut. but i think it is more to do with where i have saved the program/ extracting problems.

i will write again peace.

[marioluigirule]

thrift store?

10 DOLLARS!!!!!

Try 100 and electronics specialty store

and for games?

forget it!!!

[Flash2k2k]

thanks for the video! very helpful! ;- )

[TheIcySniper]

when i try to load a game my screen stays black help plzz

[lvlidnight3clipse]

emulators are for tools. stop being a jerk off and go buy a super nintendo, they're 10 dollars at thrift stores.

[Blast0ise]

Instead of having the option to extract files beneath extract all, I have norton security scan thing there so I cannot 7 Zip. Any ideas?

[Blast0ise]

Umm i am a little confused since i cannot get to extract the files using the 7 zip option. Help Plz.

[Fletchmaster4413]

This is so confusing..., not the video im professional at that... but its just that in Zsnes for some reason yesterday i was able to play my Roms but for some reason now i cant find the Zsnes file to play my roms, the whole freaking system pops up but i cant find my roms in any file, ive been searching for 3 hours for my roms, their in my Zsnes folder.

[flyingpigfalling]

Thanks for the advice, used it to get Earthworm Jim, Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, and Secret of Mana. Too bad about that ESA stuff. You know how hard it is to get the games and console legitimately?

[NukularFaloot]

damn so this is illegal, guess ill never get to play super castlevania 4

[JmanBan3]

@nukularfaloot Hey hey, its not illegal...its against the law :3 Plus, i guess they dont even care anymore. xD

[DeathByFoodTray]

@NukularFaloot True enough. Why would they give a shit about games that people can't or are not able to buy anymore, let alone very old

[happytrailstudios]

Yes. Everything is free.

[Kenzami70]

the link is broken

[jakb17]

wen i get into 7 zip nothing happens

[OverruledDood]

lol, you said snes instead of s n e s *insert peter griffin laugh*

[CODKills]

this wont mess up my computer right?

[truepokemonhacker]

nope

[piepiepie11111]

i just needa know how to like move it around when your playing, like when its windowed, i just dont want it glued to the center of the moniter screen if you get what im saying, for example i might wanna have it on the bottom right corner of my moniter so i can play and watcha video

[Jonnietob]

thank you for having me watch some piece of crap for 10 minutes,... this is'nt even legal, and it dosen't work either......

[happytrailstudios]

Sorry it doesn't work for you. Your computer could be having compatibility issues, you may be doing a step wrong, or you could have a bad rom or emulator. Either way, there's no sense in calling this video a piece of crap if it's worked for me and others.

Oh, and don't preach to me about 'legal'.

[lnahoj85]

Its not legal, if you own the game you can download a rom of the game and have it for 24 h, rest is up too you mate.

[LinkedQuinn]

My Emulator doesnt load any game I tell it to load O.o

[brandon2232]

If this isn't legal if you don't have the real copy of the game, why the hell would they still be allowed to even have them online?

[happytrailstudios]

The copyright peeps haven't gotten to them yet. Haha.

[brandon2232]

Yeah, so basically, its not illegal until companies start telling the sites to take down the roms. x)

[yankee217]

Is it really necessary to extract?

[wulfshelmut]

@brandon2232 Dont worry. No ones going to come after you for a 15-20 yrs old game, or hell even 30 yr old games. Basically no one will give a shit. Plus its only illegal if you sell them. As long as stuff is passed around for free then there is no problem.

[hypes411]

how do you enable superfx chip games like star fox and yoshis island to run on znes??

[Dragoran123]

THX ALOT!!

Wow, I didn't think it would actually work. Time to relive my childhood.

[Tikachu45]

idk why but vista can easily extract files and stuff for me

[CornishCreamtea07]

The links broke

[donnywillo]

get winrar better

[YellowRedBlueGreenie]

ROMS are perfectly legal if you have bought a real copy of the game. I also believe that emulators are legal also.

[dicks3750]

thanks for wasting 15 minutes of my life

[Toccaif331]

is nes games legal beause i heard the patents ran out

[stunt911]

do you need a game controller to play?

[Yusuke1096]

No, but a wired 360 controller works great.

[Arz2003]

sorry nevermind I got it after watching this video. Just go to input and put in the keys

[Arz2003]

i have a saitek p880 controller how do i configure it so i can play super mario all stars + world

[fort383]

AHHHHHHHHH NO MARIO WORLD 4 ME! (it be protected!)

[SuperMetalSonic360]

Wow thanks so much! Before I watched this all this znes and roms stuff was all gobboldy gook to me ^_^

[Ronster417]

Woo

[toxical1ty]

u can use winrar instead of 7 zip because winrar can do the same thing 7 zip does. and also when i get a rom from 3roms its a rar file and it has a password please let me kno if im doing somthing wrong

[tcnshr]

so you cant download games withought it beeing illegal

[CalculusWhiz]

thanks!!! i really couldn't figure out the save state thing on here. I can finally play Monshou no Nazo!!!

[IronArray3452]

for some reason when i got my first game on the emulator it worked but then when i try to put a second one in it doesnt show up for some reason

[usernameluis305]

well this wont work

[Mrdajjl]

i cant get the game on zsnes and i did what u sed twice

[deadevil27]

thank you sooo much this helped a lot

[flamesoftheclouds]

what rom are protected by esa?

[5starsuplex]

A considerable amount,mostly popular games but you'll often find many sites who ignore the esa.

[toxical1ty]

on the rom nation website it wont let you download them if they're protected

[flamesoftheclouds]

rom nation isin't loading for me

[blewbiu2]

damn i cant play super metroid or a ink to the past

[HippieKidProductions]

different emulators play different games try finding a different emulator

[krawk95858]

My screen goes black when i start the rom.

[flipponzin24]

Nice tutorial =:-)

[UltraGojira50]

Im having troble getting Gozilla Kaijuu Daikaisan to work on ZSNES. Does anyone happen to have any idea on how to make it work?

I use Winrar so if anyone knows how to get ZSNES to play the game. Does ZSNES alaow Japanese game to run or did I get a bad Rom?

[09shinji]

thanks ican play earthbound now

[Zach2235]

Thanks. I looked for this for the mac, download it, and now I have a really good emulator that I can run my games in. ZSNES is awesome. And nice quick saving. Now I can actually save fast enough when I attempt Asshole Mario.

[Mastermax345]

thanks!

[bioblitzer]

i cant save!!! if i save it works fine til i shutdown my computer.i try load it but its never there.can someone help?

[jasonisawesome]

Not sure if someone helped you already but you need to create a path to where your save states will be, well, saved to! Go to Config>Paths and then type in the location of where you want the saves to go under the SPCS section.

Hope that helped.

[Cockatielman]

Thank you very much i have finally found supermario allstars and world that isn't ESA PROTECTED THANK YOU VERY MuCH!

[Cockatielman]

Btw how do you get that green circle? lol , and what is it for?

[PlaystaionGeek]

Which one do I download if I have Vista?

[SolidestE102]

why do you have so many drives??

[happytrailstudios]

What do you mean? Like Cd drives? Lolz.

-Mikey

[xxLegodo1xx]

wtf? i keep on setting it up and installed it but it keeps tryin to set up again can some tell me how to make it work?

[Pheeelupwashere]

so u have to own the game to play it or its illegal?

[happytrailstudios]

Yes, you're correct.

[delbomb3131]

okay you prolly wont be able to answer this but ill ask anyways. i have a ps3 controller hooked up to my pc and if i go to game controllers in my control panel it my computer knows its there and everything but i cant get it to work with the zsnes emulator if anyone knows how i can get it to work please let me know it would be a great help i hate using my keyboard to play games just something bout having the dpad on the right and the action buttons on the left bothers me and i dnt wanna swich em

[rkaleel16]

I've been trying to figure out to save zsnes games to my computer after I record them

[razorwingproduction]

can we use winrar instead of zip?

[ttownsend08]

much thanks to you!! i have been trying to figure this whole thing out and you were a HUGE help!!!

[XxBUDHUNTERxX]

anyone out there wanna play multplayer on mario messege me ifso

[deathkittin]

i guess it doesnt work for hacked roms :/ because i tried and it would show on the list of roms but the screen would stay black :/

[shinfan2]

when i try to open my snes emulator it pops up and dissapears plz help

[shinfan2]

wen i load my zsnes it pops up then dissaper

[Dreddful13]

thanks alot, the best "how to" shh ive ever seen on roms/emulators ect...well done, you answered all my questions.

[connoro14]

i have 1 probelm with the zsnes when u load up a game once u done with it  copys it but when u put the copied 1 in it sez bad rom what the hell

[happytrailstudios]

It's illegal if you don't own the cartridge.

The actual game for the SNES.

If you don't own it, then yes, it's illegal.

[chavezery]

how do you make them???

[ntr11023]

To load save states more efficiently, push F2 to save a state, F3 to pick a slot to save a state in, and F4 to load a savestate. Pushing 5 disables the sprite layer (a.k.a. you cant see the sprites). Also, I can't load .IPS files on my emulator. Does anyone know why?

[chavezery]

you need a program called lunar IPS, i think, if it isn't, i have no clue.

[ntr11023]

Correct. Lunar IPS did work! Thanks for the help.

[ntr11023]

Another way to make the rom useable is to open the zip folder, copy the contents, and place it outside the zip folder.

[cangri1788]

im trying to play games and when i find the "zsnesw" logo it doesnt recognize it.

[agpimpstyle]

Thanks . it worked :-)

[playerofrock04]

the game won't start at me.... the screen is just black

[happytrailstudios]

Then it is quite possible that it is a bad dump / rom. Try to find a different copy of the same game.

[amer3546]

thx..

[soren122]

you sir, the maker of this video, you rock.

[happytrailstudios]

Lolz.

Thank you.

: )

[AltairEmu]

[RyanTF2]

[dr764]

how do you save your game?

[MegaMarGamez]

If Anyone Will Like To Play Any Street Fighter Game or Any Game For The Super Nintendo Over Netplay Hit Me Up On AIM My User Name Is: ProMegaMarGamez

[furyfangz]

what should i do when i use 7 zip to extract a file it dosent work this happens every time i try to extart a file

[blindedskaters]

whats 7-zip for? is it like winrar?

[happytrailstudios]

7-zip is an extraction program identical to winrar i suppose, however, 7-zip is free, it can extract most zipped files out there and it gives you the ability to zip your own files to save hard drive space.

[blade1550]

thanks alot man this really helped! now i can play secret of mana again!

[happytrailstudios]

I'm super glad it helped!

: )

[TrevorBelmont99X]

You're lucky, my Zsnes is messed up. I want to play Secret of Mana again too. I love that game!

[happytrailstudios]

Hey everybody, i hear you all are having a bit of trouble with save states, etc. So I'm gonna re-download Zsnes (since i switched to Snes9X) and see if i have problems and try to put myself in problems, therefor i can solve your question's better, Be patient. : )

-Mikey

[siul202]

al the mario games are protected right i tried doiwlaoding but esa protedted

[happytrailstudios]

Sorry for the uber late response, but you just have to find a site that the ESA hasn't cracked down on yet. Also, just recently, I added a download link to all the roms I have, I have quite a few Mario roms as well as other ESA protected ones. : )

[chavezery]

you do know that the roms on 4shared (dot) com aren't brought down by the ESA... plus emulators aren't bothering the ESA.

[TrevorBelmont99X]

Hey, I'm playing Final Fantasy II (aka 4), Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, and a few other RPG games right now. But I'm having a HUGE problem, none of my games save! I saved in game (normal save), and I used saved state. I've tried every thing! But every time I want to play the game again my data isn't there! I'm loving Zsnes, but this is just pissing me off! Please help me with this problem!

[happytrailstudios]

I'll be experiementing with Zsnes for a few days to figure out some of the issues my viewers are having, so please be patient and i'll solve the problems the fastest i can. : )

[GhostInSno]

so every time you press esc you can pause it and save?Does that work on every game?

please reply!

[happytrailstudios]

It shall work on every game. If it doesn't, you may need to toy with Zsnes a bit.

[GhostInSno]

thanks!

[dandyoso]

This helped so much! I was playing Earthbound, but I didn't know how to save! Now, I realized, I just had to press run after I opened the save state.

[SirPikachu]

Thank you so much man I now can use emulators thanks ^.^ 5/5 faved/

[SupersonicandSilver]

Supersonic: Is Star Fox 2 protected by that one company, and if not, can you give me a website to download it? Since the game was unrealeased, is it illeagal to download?

[happytrailstudios]

starfox 2 is indeed protected by the esa... i've been looking for a place to download it but haven't found one yet... and yes, it is illegal... in order for it to not be illegal, you have to own the cartridge of the game... it's unreleased, so no cartridges exist... sorry.

[SupersonicandSilver]

Supersonic: No problem, thanks for telling me.

[asatrian34]

i love you!!

[anony456]

How do I make a file for my save states?

[blade1550]

nice video man

[smashbrosbrawlfan]

when I try to get a rom on the zsnes 1.51 version or whatever, it says on the bottom right corner chsum: fail

[happytrailstudios]

that usually means its a bad rom. so just try to find a different rom of the same game.
