Talk:ZSNES

message: somebody might mention something in the article about how ZSNES is able to pass all the tests in Nintendo's SNES Test Cartridge ROM except the actual equipment test - and I understand they're working on that one - quite a feat for an emulator. --Nerd42 14:19, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: SNES Test Cartridge ROM

message: Will some expert kindly provide sources for the sentences quoted below, so that I can reach my goal of paring down the Citation Needed references on the following page? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Articles_with_unsourced_statements&from=Z
SNES has historically been regarded as the most advanced SNES console emulator available; the emulator has pioneered software emulation of the system since originally released.[citation needed]
Today, ZSNES is considered to have the widest support for specialized SNES hardware, and is one of the most popular SNES emulators.[citation needed]

thread_title:  Citations needed. 

message: The terms Free Software and Open Source have differences;free software definition can be seen in the Free Software Fundation . So I made a minor change in the History: "Since becoming open source, ZSNES has received" to "Since becoming free software, ZSNES has received ", as the article says, ZSNES is now copyrighted under the GPL, this makes it free software and not just open source.
There are discussions about both terms and a lot of names suggested, but we need to be clear on what kind of software or articles we are referring to on our contributions, I consider this important and that's why I made this comment.

replies: text: ZSNES has always been *free* software, now it's open source as well. Your change makes it worse. Helping to spread around GNU or OSI redefinitions makes a worse article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.132.42.101 (talk) 22:19, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Haha. ZSNES has over 30 easter eggs in it now, yet only one is listed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.139.47.46 (talk) 22:33, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Another thing. ZSNES April First messages doesn't have false facts, but are in fact references to inside jokes of the ZSNES community. 89.139.47.46 (talk) 22:35, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The April 1st messages also list how to access every easer egg, if you can understand it of course. 89.139.47.46 (talk) 22:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Easter Eggs 

message: Just noting some changes I made to the article. The article makes a few unreferenced claims, and some of these claims cite references that fail WP:WEB or have nothing to do with said claims. Aside from only removing a couple of these, I just placed a few cite tags where needed.
Looking at the article's history, I would guess it is maintained heavily by the project's authors. While that's fine, keep in mind that these type of articles are highly prone to fancruft. If you aren't careful about keeping references strictly in-line, then it's very likely the article will fail at AfD nomination, which is a very distinct possibility with anything related to personal projects. Just a professional reminder. 74.242.121.147 (talk) 22:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The ZSNES developers have mentioned on their forum more than once that they dislike Wikipedia, I doubt they maintain the article here. 85.250.231.180 (talk) 17:38, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  ZSNES for Mac OS X entry? 

message: Probably worth mentioning ZSNES does not support NES. I bet most people would think a SNES emulator would also support NES games, so it would be useful to be explicit about it.--82.155.66.167 (talk) 17:47, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: If I'm not mistaken, SNES wasn't even backwards compatible as console. By the way, I have ZSNES since the day it came out, I am so proud! Didn't update it since, lol!86.84.91.103 (talk) 18:59, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  NES support 

message: Users of the site SMWCentral have recently discovered a critical bug in ZSNES that allows a malicious ROM to execute arbitrary code (see here for more info). I think we should add this to the article somehow, not quite sure where it would fit though or if it should be mentioned at all. According a reply on that post, ZSNES 1.52 is released even though I can't find it anywhere. -- 16:52, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I think ZSNES 1.52 WIP was leaked and therefore unsupported (the creators don't mention it at all themselves), if you want it it's on Zophar's Domain. --DixieKongJD (talk) 11:03, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Given the 2008 timestamp, the build may be against the last publicly available CVS or SVN commit. The repository was taken down around that time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:80:4200:1DF:F53D:45AA:1C88:236D (talk) 08:20, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
