What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enable the Justifiers
2. Load Lethal Enforcers ROM
3. Try to play...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Setting 1 pistol on, doesnt work, when the 2 pistols are enabled, then it 
only recognizes one, and aiming is mapped to one wiimote, while the other 
wiimote must be used for shooting

What version are you using?
005

Please provide any additional information below.
This was already commented in the forums, but haven't been fixed as far as 
I know.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load MK2.
2. Start a fight.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Screen flickers (goes black).

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Happens on 002-005 (didn't try 001)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load a rom that requires superscope's turbo mode (Yoshi Zafari)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There is no option available for superscope turbo mode in the controller
configuration menu.

What version are you using?
005, available for download

Please provide any additional information below.
Turning multitap ON disables the superscope

If the Wii classic controller is plugged in when snes9x-gx is loaded (from
homebrew channel), it does not function. Unplugging and re-plugging after
snes9x-gx is loaded fixes this problem.


What version are you using?
v005 23-Sept-2008 downloaded from Homebrew Browser

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Basically, this is the only other emulator on my Wii that still
stretches things out.  The Wii is set to widescreen, as is the monitor (and
unfortunately, I have to get up and go through the monitor menu to turn off
stretch mode on each input, so doing it in the program is preferred).
2.  Running any game shows it stretched out to fill the TV.  Many of the
other emulators lately have been having some sort of stretch mode where you
can shrink it in the X dimension to compensate for this, or that sort of
thing.  I'd love to see this implemented in snes9x-gx.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Using BS Zelda ROM like:
hXXp://bszelda.zeldalegends.net/bs1m2zips/fourthquest.zip in this Wii port
of SNES9x 004 
In steps:
1. I downloaded the ROM, unpacked it, put in correct SD-card folder
2. Started HBC and Snes9X GX 004
3. Chose this ROM -> black screen

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output: Normal startup, title screen (PC version 1.51 and 1.43 do
this just fine).
Instead: Black screen, Emulator menu still accessable, so the emulator
itself didn't crash, it just can't read the ROM I think.

What version are you using?
004

Please provide any additional information below.

Like I wrote: It works fine on PC using Windows XP SP2 and thus the fitting
Windows emulator versions. 
It is the only ROM the Wii port doesn't boot for me so far (including
hacks, translations).
The PC version gives me one more line in 1.51:
"Id: Company: 01 CRC32: AD069DF6"
I didn't see that line in the Wii port I think...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go into options and set Load to Auto Load Snapshot
2. Pick choose a game/ROM
3. Code Dump

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the game/rom to load and then if there is a saved snapshot, the
snapshot should be restored.

What version are you using?
005

Please provide any additional information below.
This happens whether or not a snapshot actually exists (games I've played
before and snapshotted and games I've never played, thus have no snapshot)

Code Dump Hex stuff:

802AE6FC -> 802AE698 -> 802d01b4 -> 802CC998 -> 802b6778 -> 8021FA98

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Megaman X2(U) or Pilotwings (U)
2. Start a new game
3. Attempt to make a freeze file then try
to thaw it.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should create a freeze save and load like all other 
games but instead the error "could not thaw/save does not exist"
thus, losing all progress. These two games are the
only ones I've see the error on. 

What version are you using?
005 and 006

Please provide any additional information below.
Believe me, this emulator is VERY good, it's just
I'm not sure if this has been addressed before or

What version are you using?


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load "Super Pang" and wait the title screen
2. Quit the game
3. Load "Super Mario Kart"

On the bottom of the screen, you will see some extra lines (seems to be 
some part of Super pang title screen). 

When loading Donkey Kong Country and waiting the title screen, then 
loading again Mario Kart, no more display corruption, like a video reset.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version are you using?


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Play a game and do save state.
2. Load save state and hold down a button while save state is loading.
3. Hold button as long as desired. Nothing happens until you release the
button.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected the emulator to load the state even though I was holding down a
button. Instead, it just says "Loading state" for as long as I hold down
the button. Once I release the button it immediately loads the state and
goes back into the game.


What version are you using?
005

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm playing Mega Man X using the Classic Controller. I saved state in the
corridor before a boss fight with my X-Blaster fully charged. When I try to
load state and hold onto the Shoot button to keep my blaster charged, it
hangs. I have to let go of the button which then immediately loads the
state and goes into the game, firing off my fully charged blaster since the
button is no longer pressed.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch SNES9x GX r56 beta
2. Load rom Mario Paint (JU) [!].smc
3. Set Mice to 1
4. Play

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The mouse cursor is not locked properly, you get a small dot that's
separate from the game's cursor that moves independently, and if that dot
hits the edge of the screen, the mouse stops moving properly. Also, the
movement of the cursor is not accurate to where you are pointing on the
screen. This is very irritating.

What version are you using?
SNES9x GX r56 beta

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to save preferences will generate the .prf
2. Try to save SRAM will generate .srm
3. Try to save Freeze and it gives couldn't save to Fat3://snes9x/saves

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
If I try to save preferences I will get the first message.
If I hit the home key during game play, the game save message will appear.
I have the file directories set up correctly but I continue to get this
message, not just with this version, but others as well. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
004

Please provide any additional information below.
I am launching it from HBC - all Roms are zipped, short file, and they play
GREAT - I just can't save anything. If there is something else I am doing
wrong, please email me.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. After loading snes9x-gx with the Homebrew Channel, attach classic
controller.
2. Load "Super Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back (U) (V1.0) [!].smc" from
SD front.
3. Play game.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Random button presses (such as quickly pausing and unpausing) happen
although buttons on the classic controller are not actually pressed.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Noticed first in Terranigma when a enemy dies
2. Noticed again bigtime in Ken Griffey Jr. Presents MLB during field music
3. Various other games, I didn't really take time to list them all


What version are you using? SNES9x GX 004


Please provide any additional information below.

 This problem isn't as big a deal as the sound bug in FCE Ultra, but its 
noticable in some games.  Meaning, it doesn't occur in the cartridge 
version of the games, or the SNES9x for PC, or ZSNES for PC, or even as an 
injected rom for a virtual console wad.  Just something that will need 
fixing when possible.  Once again,  I didn't test alot of games, but the 
ones I listed above are pretty noticable.  I don't know anything about 
coding emulators, so Good luck!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Read the changes for v 006
2. Open up a Square Enix RPG (i.e FF6)
3. Listen to the sound effects

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should be synched. I saw the changes made in the
change log, but the option to turn the sync on
still seems to be missing from the "preferences".
I noticed the last time I reported this issue, I 
was told it had be added in the next version (006)
but whether I check the preferences or edit the .xml,
the option is nowhere to be found. If one could simply
complile a quickfix version (just simply adding the
option is all that needs to be done), it would be greatly 
appreciated. 


What version are you using?
Version 006

Please provide any additional information below.
Again, I'm confused about the changelog for 006
and the fact that said feature has been "Added" but
nowhere to be found. I don't want to come accross as
being rude or demanding, but why it's not in the
preferences menu is beyond me.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load SNES9x GX r80
2. Play a few different games
3. Then play SNES Super Scope 6? (Not sure if is cause)
4. Trigger laserblazer crash a few times
5. Load another game

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It is expected that the other game loads and you should get visual... But,
instead, you get a completely black screen with only audio. The emulator
needs to be restarted to remedy it, as it is permanent for that session.

What version are you using?
SNES9x GX r80


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load a zipped ROM from a USB memory stick

What version are you using?
005 r88

Please provide any additional information below.
Performance is very slow when loading a zipped ROM from USB. Loading a
3.3Mb zipped game take approx 1 min, same game loaded from SD takes seconds.

I've tested the performance of the USB device on my PC and it's fast
un-zipping ROMs from the memory stick takes < 1 sec

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Put ROMS on an iPod
2. Insert the iPod into the USB-port
3. Try loading ROMS from USB

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is to see the file explorer for my iPod. Instead I get the
message that there is no USB device present.

What version are you using?
005

Please provide any additional information below.
Using the media player GeeXboX for Wii, loading videos from my iPod works
perfectly.

The pngu/pngu.h include file is missing in the repository.

In cheatmgr.cpp, dvd.cpp, fileop.cpp, filesel.cpp menu.cpp s9xsupport.cpp
sram.cpp, smbop.cpp, freeze.cpp the include is misspelled (wrong
capitalisation this is a problem when compiling in an unix environment)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run super mario world (any version) and enter the first level
2. get a mushroom

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
proper mario-growing sound. glitchy mario-growing sound.

What version are you using?
snes9x 005 r80 from svn

Using Snes9x GX 006.

All test files were LZMA compressed with 7-Zip, latest stable w32 version
4.5.7.  In all cases, I specify a Word Size of 273.  As I hope would be
unrelated, I do not seem to have any troubles with the filenames in archives.

Opening from Network: all 7zip content can be listed, but never extracted
(out of memory).

Returning to previous directories can sometimes error due to a remnant of
either the non-existent directory "7zip" appearing at the end of the path,
or, when attempting to resurface beyond the xml-defined entry path, a
remnant and subsequent duplication of the entry path in the reported path
error. I have not been able to reproduce these cases in an absolutely
consistent manner.

Opening from SD card: all 7zip content can be listed, and non-solid content
extracts fine. In one test, I could extract any of 50 roms contained in one
non-solid archive.

However, under certain cases, archives with solid-block content do not
extract, throwing an "Out of memory" error.

To test the boundaries of conditions in which solid content will or will
not extract, I used groups of hacked SMW1 roms.  Magically, these 50 1MB
SMW1 roms solid-compress to a single 1>2MB archive, so their structures are
nearly identical to each other.

3 roms solid-compressed with a 64KB dictionary size = extractable, though
this may be because each rom is too large for the defined dictionary size,
and is therefore not qualified to board the solid train.

3 roms solid-compressed with a 2MB dictionary size = extractable.
50 roms solid-compressed with a 2MB dictionary size = extractable!

Looks like this is pointing to insufficient reserved memory for the
extraction process when the specified dictionary size is larger in size.

3 mb = fail | 4 mb = fail | 6 mb = fail | everything higher than 2 MB Fails!

This is a shame, because a lot of the roms in my collection are larger than
2MB, and I'd like to size it all down to fit on a single DVD (it's
currently 6.3GB zip-compressed).

Kudos and Thanks for this perfect answer to SNES emulation for the family room!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load Pilotwings rom
2. Begin playing (first mission will do)
3. Blue flashing graphics glitches intermittently display in light plane
and skydiving (glitching affects the sky and ground) 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
normal output w/o blue flashing colors

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
snes9x-gx 004

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the Restart System function on the snes9x-gx's main menu.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A Wii game disk should be loaded on the Wii's Disk Channel

What version are you using?
005

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure all SMB settings in SNES9xGX.xml
2. Choose load from Network
3. Load a game - error "check settings in SNES9xGX.xml"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Connects to the SMB share and list the contents

What version are you using?
005 r88

Please provide any additional information below.
The SMB share works as I've tested it with various machines on my network.
When I choose load game no attempt is made to connect, it instantly comes
back with the error about the settings, seems like it's not even connecting
to the network at all. The settings _are_ correct. I'm using Wifi (not
ethernet) and all other network enabled programs on the Wii work fine.

If I make changes to the preferences in the GUI and save the preferences,
then all the SMB settings in the XML are overwritten with the defaults.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Play Emerald Dragon (Japanese game)
2. Talk to the first 3 dragons, watch a bit of dialog, then talk to the kid
3. When the white dragon floating in the sky disappears after saying his
lines, the game freezes

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: The game doesn't freeze.
What I see: The game freezes at the same spot every time, whether using a
translation-patched version or not.

What version are you using?
005, latest.

Please provide any additional information below.
This game works fine, patched and unpatched, in ZSNES.

I have a PAL Wii with component cable (YPbPr).
The TV type is set to EDTV (480p) on Wii options.

In version 005 and now 006, the auto-detection of video mode, finds that this 
is a PAL Wii so the 
output is set to 576i, which is wrong and forces me to use zoom for every game.

It would be nice if the user can set the TV type in preferences also.

Thanks.
RT

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load snes9x-gx 004 through Homebrew Channel
2. Load v1.20k-TO_Jr_Fixed.smc which is the Tactic Orge with Chinese font
modification from the front SD
3. Wii crash during loading

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see black screen with some information

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Wii 3.2j, snes9x-gx 004, HBC beta8

Please provide any additional information below.
I tried several other 32M ROMs, none of them works. But it works fine on PC
with snes9x 1.51 and snes9x-gx works just fine for the original tactics
ogre (v1.2) (j) which is 24M. The ROMs I mentioned can be find here

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. play game


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
inverted stereo in all games

What version are you using?
006

Please provide any additional information below.
there was the option of "inverted stereo" in old versions, and now don't
appear.

It would be great to have two mode for selecting game:
- File by file like actually
- Graphical with showing a screenshot of games on the sd card. We could
click on A button to see large screenshot image and chose yes load this
game by pressing A button or back to the graphical list by pressing B
button. We can take screenshot in game or add them manually to a screenshot
directory on the "/snes9x/screenshots/". Look at the attached file for exemple.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load any rom and exit to the emu menu
2. Load the French-translated rom of the game Seiken Densetsu 3

What is the expected output?
The intro of the game should start after the Squaresoft logo.

What do you see instead?
No intro, no Squaresoft logo, the rom boots into a music test menu from
which we can't exit.

What version are you using?
Snes9x GX 005 on PAL Wii, emu and roms on SD card front loading, emu
launched from Homebrew Channel.

Please provide any additional information below.
The rom seems to load correctly if loaded first right after the emu is started.
The same rom works well in other emulators.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Play any game (preferrable any Final Fantasy)
2. Load a save or start a new game
3. Listen to any sound effects (such as the cursor)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Sound/sound effects should be relatively close to real 
SNES output, i.e the cursor...should sound more high-pitched

What version are you using?
Any version from 001 to 005

Please provide any additional information below.
In the Windows/Linux version of Snes9x 1.50/1.51,
the option to sync the sound is available, thus
making the emulator sound pretty close to the real
hardware. I provided a file to compare sync (chrono
trigger) for the first three seconds and after about
seven, you should hear the cursor being off. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load up the first Yuu Yuu Hakusho game.
2. Before it even goes to the Namco screen, you'll a black screen with 
white text with a load noise.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Black screen with white text with a load noise. It also says an error 
code; however, i didnt have time to take it down. It can easily be seen 
thou.

What version are you using?
Snes9x GX 006. This error doesn't occur in Snes9x 004. It plays on 004.

Please provide any additional information below.
Unreleated, but there some other issuses with 006 that arent seen in 004. 
When playing Power Rangers Fighting Edition, there messed up graphics on 
top of the screen while fighting. And Spiderman and X-men Arcades Revenge, 
while you can still play the game, you see messed up graphics all over the 
screen as numbers. Very hard to see what i am doing. :( Other than that, 
thank you for your time, and keep up the great work ! :D

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load SNES9x GX r80
2. Load rom SNES Super Scope 6 rom
3. Enable Super Scope in control prefs
4. Play Lazerblazer

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is that you should go straight to the Laserblazer game
mode. Instead, the game shows a nasty visual glitch, then the Rom crashes.

What version are you using?
SNES9x GX r80 SVN


Please provide any additional information below.
None

That would be great if the zoom level set by the user could be saved just
like any other option.
Thank you!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Power OFF your wii.
2. Plug the nunchuck to the wiimote.
3. Power ON your wii with the nunchuck attached to the wiimote
4. Open Snes 9X with the nunchuck plugged to the wiimote.
5. Nunchuck does not work (neither in the game nor on the menus of the
emulator)
6. DON'T exit the emulator.
7. Go to any menu of the emulator, unplug the nunchuck and plug it back.
7. Now the nunchuck works fine (both in game and on menus). You can
navigate through the menus.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The nunchuck is detected automatically, without the need to unplug it the
plug again, just like the wiimote.

What version are you using?

Keep up the good work, this emu is the best snes emu for wii :) I hope this
information help you.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Trying to play a .swc file from within a .zip or otherwise.

What version are you using?
006

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm using the same SD card and have not modified any ROMs, I tried to load
a game I was playing before the latest update. I may have been on 005 or
004 before the update - the game played fine. Now, it is unable to load
.swc files from within a zip or otherwise.

Extracted the ROMs from the ZIP files it still did not work, renamed the
extensions from .swc to .smc and the ROMs work fine now.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load Snes9xGX version 006
2. Plug the classic controller
3. Load any game

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The right joystick is not mapped to move up/down left/right

What version are you using?
Version 006

Please provide any additional information below.
In version 005 it was fine.

Keep up this excelent work ;)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Load Rendering Ranger R2 (JAP).
2. See the Virgin logo.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

After the Virgin logo the screen turns black.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Version 004.

Please provide any additional information below.

It says something about the sound and then the screen goes black, but the
emulator still works. I´ve tried different roms with the same result, and
they all work on my PSP SNES9x emulator.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load ANY zipped ROM file from DVD
2. Start the Game


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The game does not work properly, ROM informations screen reports wrong
informations and corrupted header

What version are you using?

snes9xGX 005

Please provide any additional information below.

It seems like the ROM data has not been properly loaded into memory so the
emulator can run the game properly.
Loading ROM files from SDCARD work perfectly.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I've noticed a sorta sound crackling or popping problem in some games, 
possibly alot.  Its not as bad as the FCE Ultra problem, but its there, 
and noticable.  I've especially noticed it in Ken Griffey Jr. Presents MLB 
during the field music, and Terranigma when an enemy is killed.  This 
sound problem doesn't occur in the PC emulators, the SNES Console, or in a 
Virtual Console injection.  I'm not a tester however, so I've not taken 
the time to try out all games.


What version are you using?
SNES9x GX 005


Please provide any additional information below.

Like I said before, I'm not a tester or programmer, so I don't know all 
the games that present this issue.  Perhaps they ALL do in some points, 
just not on the PC emulators, the SNES Console, or a Virtual Console 
Injection.  Also did not occur on the SNES9x 1.43 for Wii.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load emu with nunchuck plugged into wiimote

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Nunchuck support working.  Only wiimote support works unless you 
disconnect and then re-connect the nunchuck extension after loading 
snes9x-gx

What version are you using?
svn r100

Please provide any additional information below.
nunchuck support works fine after disconnecting and then reconnecting.

Possibly add a wiki page explaining this until the behavior is changed

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. launch Snes9Xgx in HBC
2. Choose to launch roms from USB
3. Try to load a rom

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect a list of roms available in the HDD. 
Instead of that, i have a error message USB flash drive not found...

What version are you using?
Snes9xgx 006 

Please provide any additional information below.
Wii PAL 3.1E (patchmiicore + dvdx) wiikey 1.9S
HDD 160go FAT32 (works fine with geexbox alpha2)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load any game and start playing
2. Press left in the nunchuck

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It was expected to JUST turn left, but, instead, it presses A and turns left.

What version are you using?
005, available for download

Please provide any additional information below.
Turning multitap ON is even worse.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Boot the 004 SD dol file for the gamecube from SD Media Card Adapter
2. Try to load game and it fails

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect it to work like version 003 which brings up a list of all my 
ROMs.  I see Error opening fat3:\ instead

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using 003, but the problem is with the 004 verion running on a 
Gamecube

Please provide any additional information below.
Have tried to switch slots A or B without luck.  I tried formatting the SD 
card in FAT and FAT32 without luck.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the Mother 3 or Mario vs Donkey Kong (Both GBA) roms
2. Attempt to save (save using the game, not using save states)
3. An in-game dialog pops up and says that the save failed

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the game to actually save. Instead the game (not the emulator) 
says that it failed to save.

What version are you using?
The most recent version as of October 18, 2008 (version 006)


Please provide any additional information below.
I beleve that this may occur in MANY more roms. IMHO this is medium to 
high priority.
