Chrono Trigger question

Post by kznewb »

I remember playing chrono trigger on da zsnes emulator on the computer and there were parts, in the game, where the screen was screwed up and you had to press lyk 1 , 2 or 3 to get the picture to show. I'm wondering if this problem occurs in dreamsnes and if so, is there any way to fix it?
Thanks

zsnes is a great snes emulator, but he was talking about running the game on the dc with dreamsnes :wink:

also, I don't think the mods would appreciate a link to a site that has lot sof commercial roms to dl. Just giving ya the heads up :wink:

I believe you're describing a transparency issue. Years ago, the SNES emulators did not properly render transparent layers, so clouds of smoke (for example) would appear as solid objects, obscuring the player's view of the character. This was also a problem with early portions of Final Fantasy IV and V, but this was fixed years ago.

Any modern version of ZSnes or Snes9x (which DreamSNES is based on) should not present the problems you describe.

I tested chrono trigger out and it looks fine right now. I tried donkey kong country 3 and on the first stage, i can't c the wooden floor. I'm not sure if this happens to anyone else.

Out of curiosity, how does Chrono Trigger run on DSNES?

One of my top five favorite rpgs for the snes. Nuff said. nearly everything about the game was perfect, and being a fan of the back to the future movies, I dug being able to sort of time travel in the game.

I gotta be honest, though. I've never emulated the game on my dc, but have instead emulated it on my xbox.

I haven't played it on DSNES in a long while now, but the last time I did play it, I was able to play it through.

Some things to note:

Sounds for certain techs/magic are off [Luminate comes to mind]
The bike scene was way more challanging.
Game runs ~30% slower then on my SNES [but still faster then that playstation version, uggh loadtimes!]

Perhaps I need to break out my DC, the DSNES disc that has CT on it, and my SNES/cart and play them side by side. But it was playable.

*EDIT - I guess after 4 years of lurking it was time that I made a post. ;)

no problems with transparencies in chrono trigger on dSNES 0.9.8; only game speed (as usual) is a little bit slower than on zsnes or any other pc-emu, but it is no major prob (round-based battles, no real-time ..)
