Super Mario RPG (SNES) keeps freezing at the same point every time

[topster]

I have zsnes w/ a save state right before a boos fight. After the boss fight I get the star, and during the "star get" scene the stars stop spinning but the background continues scrolling and it won;t continue past this point.

Is it a problem with the ROM? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I had the same problem once, and it was very frustrating. I tried downloading an older version of SNES, for example 1.42, and it worked perfectly. Then you can save your game after the boss fight in 1.42, and go back to playing it normally on the latest or whatever version of SNES you have.

Thanks, so all I have to do is get an older version of zsnesw? Or would the problem be solved if I got a different emulator? What would be the cause of this happening?

Could be an issue with the rom, the emulation or the savestate. Try using Bsnes. Its the most accurate snes emulator out there by a mile.

But would I still be able to load my save game? Not my save state but the file in the rom's save files?

Yeah, just download an older version of ZSNES and try it on there. I don't know if another emulator would use the exact same save file as ZSNES, so try the older version first and let me know if it works.
