DamienD's SNES DVD... [REVAMP]
Hello there my long, lost EAB friends,
Hope that everyone is well? Sort of disappeared for many years... Real life [blah] [blah] [blah] and not much time for gaming if I'm honest. Anyway; I recently purchased a new laptop for my twin brother in Sydney. As he's not very good with computers, I thought I'd revamp my "SNES DVD" so that he can play (see original thread here "http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=22669"). It now works on the following operating systems:

Just like before everything can be run from DVD or from your hard drive. Running from the hard drive is the preferred option as access speeds are far better than from a DVD drive. Also both emulator settings can be applied. Screenshots of the new DVD / Setup menus are attached: Autorun: https://i.imgur.com/u0U5UAK.png Main Menu: https://i.imgur.com/WTMFAey.png File Locations + Desktop Shortcut Setup: https://i.imgur.com/pLJDmWs.png Local Hard Drive Setup: https://i.imgur.com/rfLDG9U.png Emulator Selection: https://i.imgur.com/Wy1xNGJ.png Snes9x Emulator Setup: https://i.imgur.com/w7etiph.png Snes9x Controller Setup: https://i.imgur.com/f90WyVX.png Zsnes Emulator Setup: https://i.imgur.com/6xbQhQy.png Zsnes Controller Setup: https://i.imgur.com/p5jkTaf.png That's everything out of the way. I wanted to share this with you guys even though I know it's not "Amiga" related ;) Jumped on the "EAB File Server", tried to create a directory called "DamienD" under "Uploads" and then upload the .ISO file. Both actions failed... If somebody could sort out my ftp rights I'll start uploading immediately. Ciao, D |
I hate to say this as it looks like you've put a lot of work into it, but it looks far more difficult to use than the actual emulator.

Even for an person experienced with emulators all of the above would take time to setup :agree Read again one of my opening sentences; related to my brother. This would be a difficult task for a computer novice. Anyway, of course you entitled to your opinion. |
I think this a great project! Kudos to you! Some people are more computer literate as we know and so may find this tedious. However, even I like this! Such a simple tool and would be very keen to get hold of this when and if possible! My uncle would love this as he's great at playing the games... The issue is getting it to work for him and this would solve that! :)
Regards to FTP. Have you made an account? |
Welcome back Damien :)
Please have a look at this post about how to create an upload account: http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=780 |

Neato ;) I'll grab it and have a try this weekend :great
|
Please can you update once uploaded :)
|
I've got snes emulated on a million consoles. But I guess adding this wont hurt. Is this just a one off upload or are you looking at creating other emulator packages like this?
I see you've included two Emulators. Any reason for this. I'm assuming each emulator would play all roms, or is one better then the other? Also I see Microsoft Vista is missing from the list of operating systems? I have vista Won't it work on that? |
Can't wait to try it out Damien , many thanks for your tireless effort to bring this to the masses, this is a quality release, cheers fella :)

Can't wait to try nightmare busters never heard of it as well :great

I have soooo many systems / games it's not funny. Just go through some of my old posts. Anyway; no solid plans for new packages as yet. Quote:

Should work though; pretty similar layout to Windows 7 in terms of file structure and I've used environment variables in all my batch files so... Give it a bash and let me know if it doesn't work. If not I'm sure I can fix quite quickly. |
Thanks for the info, I'll let you know if it works with vista. Give everyone a holla when the upload is complete :great

I think Nightmare Busters was a game that was completed, but never made it onto cartridge and into the stores. The guy who owns the IP (presumably) used to visit here, and the game is currently being sold commercially on newly made cartridges.

...and I was just about to say the file has completed uploading. << file now removed by me >> I'll remove "Nightmare Busters" from the DVD and re-upload tomorrow. |
Does that mean you have to remove the images in case you get sued as well? :rolleyes
A simple Google search of nightmare busters reveals many download pages and even an online play of the game. |
Alrighty, re-upload complete!!! (without "Nightmare Busters")
This package has been tested quite thoroughly; the only thing I can image that may go wrong would be due to operating system language. Saying this though, with "Windows 7" onwards I believe a user's "Desktop" folder is predominantly going to be "C:\Users\{username}\Desktop" where as with "Windows XP" it would change sometimes with different languages e.g: Code:

If anybody knows the answer to the above for reference that would be cool. Quote:
I just wont include it in my package. |
Forgot to mention; here’s a site that has numerous “Playstation” / “Xbox” adapters which enable you to use them on a computer via USB:

Nice work! :great
But unlucky choice with the ZNES emulator... Though this remains fairly popular, it is considered obsolete and extremely inacurate (plus it is not supported anymore). Not knowing better, I had the bad luck to start with this... The emulator did run most of the games but -unfortunately- it did with huge lags and framedrops (for no apparent reason). Some games were still playable and you could only notice the framedrop with the slow playing music. Others (ex. Aladdin) simply crawled from the start. Up to this day I regret not having the patience to look a bit further... this totally ruined my experience with FFIII which I did finish using ZNES. At some point I saw a video with footage of FFIII running on real hardware and I was like... wtf! So I did my research and I finally settled with BSNES which instantly solved all issues I had. ;) |

Personally I like "Snex9x" better and that's what I mainly use. I've used "Zsnes" a little, but I never had the experiences that you've mentioned. Just tried "Aladdin" in both emulators and exactly the same good performance for me ;) |
