What up Linux world?!?!?!?!

Ok lets get 2 the point, I got zsnes install, but when i try running a rom(game) I get poor video. So I ran the zsnes from the command line and this is what i got:

Now the sound don't worry about it, I know why its blocked its because of KDE, but i don't get it why zsnes forces 16bpp? does anyone? i can;t play my games like Street Fighter 2, but F-Zero (futuristic racing game) works well. Has anyone run into this problem?

oh yeah and it crashes when i try 2 quit mmmmm, I have 2 ctrl+alt+esc 2 kill the app

[user@Linux user]$ zsnes

I believe that zsnes uses svga_helper . . .

zsnes has no reason to use more than 16bit color. Try changing to a lower color and see if that affects it any.

ok makes senses but dude where do i change it so its lower colour?
do you use zsnes?

Depends of your distribution. You could change the color by either editing /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/xorg.conf, again, depends which X you use...

ah so it has nothing 2 do w/ zsnes configs eh nice, but if i modify my x-server that would affect some of my other apps, no?

have you tried adjusting sznes' own resolution? these properties are found in settings, 'video' submenu

Regards

Have you tried the ZSNES version 1.40? It just came out. I'm using it and it works perfectly - sound and graphics wise. The only drawback is that I can't use my USB gamepad is my LInux doesn't detect it.

No I have not, I have VERSION 1.337
