Hi, I've got zsnes and the super mario rpg rom so far, but the game wont load. Every time i try to load the rom, theres just a blank, black screen. I've updated my direct x to the latest version as the FAQ told me to do but it still doesnt work.

I'm currently using my laptop:
intel celeron m (1.5 ghz)
256 ram
extreme intel graphics

is it b/c the zsnes does not support super mario rpg or something else? any help would be great, thanks!

It's a bad rom. Get it somewhere else.

ok thx.. just a quick question.. what is the file extension supposed to be for snes roms? b/c the one i downloaded was a "rar" file. I was a little suspicious but the virus scan was clean.

RAR is a compressed file, just like ZIP. Get WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com) to unzip the ROM and then try again.

Anytime :)

I wonder if emulators will support RAR formats in a future...
