I've been using NESTicle 0.42 (the DOS version that works on Windows 98) for about 4 years now in Windows 98 without ANY problem whatsoever. Then that fatefull day came......my computer got infected with a horrid virus that messed up EVERYTHING. I was forced to do a complete reformat, but NOT before I moved all my beloved NES roms & NESticle over to a 1gig drive for safe keeping.
I managed to restore my computer back to it's normal Windows 98 state (some of my jpegs and gifs were lost, but nothing major), so I simply dragged my NES stuff off the 1gig and put it back in place on my new PC.
It's never been the same since.
You see, I've gotten the sound/audio to work fine, Save State works great, but now there's video problems that never occured before. It seems as though if there's more than 2 sprites on screen at the same time, one or more of the sprites will become fuzzy and start shaking in place. This is most notable with Super Mario Brothers; if Mario is on screen with 2 Goombas, one of the Goombas will become VERY fuzzy, and start shaking in place (he dosen't move all over the screen, just the pixels in the sprite itself shake). ANOTHER NEW PROBLEM: moving from Left to Right on the screen causes the frames of animation to get choppy, and not move smoothy as it has in the past. WHY?
These 2 problems occur with EVERY rom I own, I'm just using Super Mario Bros as an example. Before I reformated my PC, I wrote down my settings for NESticle so I could restore them the next time. However, NO MATTER WHAT I DO OR TWEEK, the fuzzy sprites and choppy left-to-right animation still happens.
I'm so annoyed with this problem I'm ready to pay someone cash to get this thing fixed! It'd be different if I've had other problems before, but litterly, NESticle has run PERFECTLY for years without any problems. I just can't understand why it's happening; everthing's been set exactly the way it was!
PLEASE HELP ME!! I can give more detail about my PC or my NESticle settings if anyone needs it. Just please, help me fix my favorite emulator! -jack
