    Default ZSNES Controls not working

    This is only happening with zsnes, whether I use the gamepad or the keyboard. The problem is that the controls seem to work at random, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't, although I doubt it has anything to do with my hardware, but I'll tell you just in case (this is my first post here)

    CPU: AMD Turion(tm) II P540 Dual-Core Processor
    Graphics Card: AMD M880G ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
    RAM: 4 GB (3.74 Usable)
    64-Bit Operating system
    Windows 7

    Version: Zsnes V1.51

    The controls seem to be enabling and disabling at random, at first I thought the connection with the gamepad was poor, but then I realised the same problem was with the keyboard (yes, I did configure the controls).

    New one on me... but if it was me

    I would make sure my PAD drivers are as much up to date as possible

    Try running Zsnes from a new download & new folder (i.e. don't copy the setting over with it) [your roms needn't be moves as you can point Zsnes to the correct folder in the emu]


    P.S. what are you using for a control pad??

    Actually used to have issues with a PAD but that was a PSX to USB convertor I used but that was the drivers at the time & had little to do with the emulators I was using it with

    I have no experience with Zsnes, but if you can't resolve the problem with the controls for that emulator I highly recommend using snes9x to emulate super nintendo. I have used it for a long time now and have never had any problems with either controls or graphics/sound. In any case, best of luck!

    @Zorlon, im using a psx style usb controller, but it works just fine on dolphin, project64 and epsxe, plus I get the same problem if I just use the keyboard on my laptop to play the games, @Turk, yeah I think it would be more simple to just switch to another emulator, I'll give snes9x a try, thanks guys!

    Both zSnes and snes9x are worth having compat between the 2 is just about 100% individual there about 90+% each but under 100% so a few don't work in one but do in the other and vice versa, then again if you never play the games that have issues in either then either will do.

    I would of been testing the emu in a fresh folder/settings.
