<h2>Getting Started</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Copy the Snes9x application from the disk image (.dmg) to your hard disk and double-click it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>Loading Games</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Choose 'Open ROM Image...' in 'File' menu, select the game and start it. You can also drag and drop the ROM image onto the Snes9x icon. You may open a ROM image by double clicking on its icon in the Finder as well.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
SNES ROM images come in lots of different formats. Snes9x supports zipped ROMs as long as there is only 1 per zip file. Also Snes9x can open gzip and jma compressed files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>Game Color System</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
By default, Snes9x displays the ROM information when a ROM is first loaded. Depending on the colors used you can tell whether or not a ROM is a good working ROM, or if it's been altered or is corrupted.
|
|

|
<ul>
|
|
<li><table summary="text color">
|
|
<tbody>
|
|
<tr valign="top">
|
|
<td style="width:9em">white</td>
|
|
<td>the ROM should be a perfect working copy.</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr valign="top">
|
|
<td style="width:9em">green</td>
|
|
<td>the ROM is mode 1 interleaved.</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr valign="top">
|
|
<td style="width:9em">orange</td>
|
|
<td>the ROM is mode 2 interleaved.</td>
|
|

|

<tr valign="top">
|

|
|
<td>the ROM is Game Doctor 24M interleaved.</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr valign="top">
|
|
<td style="width:9em">yellow</td>
|
|
<td>the ROM has probably been altered. Either it's a translation, PD ROM, hacked, or possibly a bad ROM. It may also be an overdumped ROM.</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr valign="top">
|
|
<td style="width:9em">red</td>
|
|
<td>the ROM is definitely hacked and that a proper version should be exist. Some ROM Tools such as NSRT can also fix these ROMs.</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</tbody>
|
|
</table></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When asking for help on the Snes9x forums, please list the color and CRC32 that is displayed. This will help to find out what the problem is.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
These colors do NOT signify whether a game will work or not. It is just a means for reference so we can understand what may or may not be a problem. Most often the problem with games that don't work it's because they are corrupt or are a bad dump and should be redumped.
