hello, i also have a problem with zsnes
...

Hello, okay don't run zsnes with sudo, doesn't need root permission. The error is regarding video output.

gedit ~/.zsnes/zsnesl.cfg

or nano if your prefer to edit in the terminal

Find Video, and specifically change
cvidmode=somevalue

If you like you can remove the file or rename it, and zsnes will make fresh settings for the video output.

Did you change video drivers or something, since it seems that you had used opengl settings before...
Which I do too... So something outside of zsnes must have changed I think...

Good luck

[antmangaka]

nope, haven changed the drivers

[ljonesj]

well i just installed the release canidate of gutsy and zsnes works fine now. something must have been wrong in the beta
