Here is a guide for zbattle/zsnes I posted in a thread
Zbattle is a program that browses online games for Zsnes, you don't need it but it makes things
MUCH easier (allows rom downloading, automatically connects you to other person without having to type their IP, tells you if you have the same rom or not etc.)
OK, I will explain how this works
How to get Zsnes to work:
1) Download zsnes version 1.42 and/or 1.36 (most played and desyncs less) from zsnes.com
2)Download roms, then extract the roms to the emulator folder (the .smc files in the zip file)
3)open the emulator (zsnes) and goto game>load> then goto the rom (pressing .. takes you back to a previous folder)
How to get Zbattle set up:
1) Download Zbattle (
www.zbattle.net )and install it where ever you feel like
2) You should see the following besides the "()" which will tell you how it works
-Player name: (type any nickname you prefer)
-Path to Zsnes program: (choose the play where you put your emulator )
-Path to Rom Images: (same as above, only its where you put your roms)
if you want, turn on both play sound features (you don't need a sound as it will play one for you)
Playing games with zbattle and Zsnes
hint: You should have multiple versions of your game just in case someone else has a different version.
-hosting
1) Goto "Game" - this should take you to an empty room, anyone can join in
2)goto "Select"
3)Select the game (the rom you want to play)
4) The blue bar that on the bottom checks and see's if the rom is the same
5)goto start (if he don't have your rom(s) then tell him to download it from a site because transfer almost never works)
www.aclogic.com <free FTP server you can upload stuff on (like your rom)
6) You should see Zsnes pop up
IF YOU OR YOUR FRIEND IS HAVING PROBLEMS CONNECTING AND HAS A ROUTER/FIREWALL, READ THE FAQ AT http://zbattle.net/?page=faq
-Joining
1) double click the game you want to join
2) the host should do the rest (unless you don't have the rom, ask him the play where he downloaded it)
Hint:The game may be laggy depending on your distance, like if you play someone from brazil, you MAY not get a decent connection
post you Username here if you want
