Zipplet's Stuff

I am aware of a reasonably serious issue with zipNES on Windows Vista. The sound is unstable and crackles. There is no quick fix I can apply to the code base without changing the sound output pipeline so I am afraid you wont be able to play with sound on Vista until the next version of zipNES. Sorry

Additionally, Aero will be disabled while zipNES runs because it uses DirectDraw mode. You can work around this by disabling DirectDraw and using GDI. Luckily, any PC capable of Vista Aero will be able to run zipNES in GDI mode perfectly even with a stretched window.

I am pleased to say that zipNES does run well under XP inside Sun VirtualBox for those of you who really want to get it running properly and don't have XP. I've also been told it works well under Wine on linux.
