SNES9X in Firefox

**kiwinavega** · 11-23-2013, 10:14 AM

Hello guys,

Anyone else having problems with SNES9X in Firefox? It keeps crashing when I'm playing Top Gear. I remember I had a problem loading Genesis games when connected to Steam, so disconnected that and still get the issue.

Any ideas?

Games load fine, then after a few minutes of play SNES9XW just stops working. I get a Windows error message telling me the program stopped working, then it closes.

Full Screen or in a window?

Top Gear I was playing in full screen, International Super Star Soccer in a window

Open a Run Prompt by pressing Windows Key + R.
Paste
%temp%\low\arcadeox
press enter

Rename the folder super-nintendo to super-nintendo-old.
Your saves and old configs will be in that folder.

Start a new game.

Did the problem go away?

Thank you Kong, that's super helpful. I'll give it a go now and let you know how it goes.

Just tried Top Gear in full screen. Ten minutes or so in play it crashed again. Will try in a window.

Tried in a window and it crashes there, too. Very odd.

Try IE.

Just had a go in IE and the same thing happened. Has the extension changed recently?

was there a resolution to this?

**kiwinavega** · 11-30-2013, 10:11 AM

Not working for me. I dropped in to the chat channel on Sunday but I think we're separated by a lot of time zones so didn't cross paths.

Anyone have any ideas about this at all?

this still happens to me in all browsers. could it have anything to do with the window being minimized for an extended period of time? either the snes9x window or the browser window? i do that because i play during lulls at work.

the time that it takes to crash varies as well.

i have been running each browser in administrator mode, which allows the emulator to open (eset stops it otherwise). but even so, i get the same behavior as kiwivega. i've been saving often to avoid losing too much progress, but it's still kinda disappointing.
