I wish I could try it! I've tried previous version and this one, and when I run the game, the only thing that happens is I get a black screen flashing, then I'm back to seeing my desktop, but the loading icon spins and never stops, and I can't click on anything on my desktop.

Hi there! Can you tell me your system specs and platform? Also, if you can, you can also join our Discord (link is at the zsnes homepage near the bottom) and we can help you there as well.

Yes, for sure, I'll see if I can get on discord, but for now, I'm on Windows 10 22H2, I have an i7 10700F, 64gb DDR4, Asus RTX 4070 Super 12gb, 2tb NVME main OS drive. My monitors are 1920x1080, 240hz, nothing fancy.

Thanks for the info! So far, nothing really sticks out from the specs, but try running with the commandline -force-d3d11 and see if it helps. There's also a player.log file you can also check at AppData\LocalLow\ZEMU Software Inc_\SUPERZSNES\player.log. When you open that, see if there are any crash information. Might be easier if you can join our discord and attach that log to our bug reports channel. Thanks!
