Geez, man! You could be at least a little thankful for their trying to help. Tell us what you did to fix it? |

There are a lot of people who got their account locked because of proxy use...
This thread isn't needed... I have to say this again, lock it! |

That is rather anal. I'd probably have something similar set up, but it wouldn't be "omg this site has 'proxy' on the page ur expelled"... Just log something for the admins to investigate. You never know when someone has a legitimate reason for doing something that seems wrong. |

The computers at school if you use a proxy you lose computer privaleges... thats gay

It's the school's computers, so they make the rules. They sound perfectly fair to me. If it was me in charge of your school's systems, I'd remove every game/MP3/distraction I found. I think I definitely have BOFH tendencies. |

Maybe I'm just weird, but I don't think you really should be THAT desperate to play games at school. I mean, you can't handle being without them for what, 6 hours? You always have them at home, dude. |

And how exactly do you put a proxy on a disk?  That's not really the problem anyway, it's trying to run the emulator. Tried naming it winword.exe? Worst case scenario, find the original program of whatever you're allowed to run, rename it, plop the emu in its place, and don't forget to put it back when you're done.  |

I am starting to think I should just get a damn proxy from home and put it on disk and bring it to school. Don't you think that would help.... |

oh god, i'm glad it didn't have to come to that for me when i was in highschool. i'm guessing it was just their terribly flaws setup, but i was able to run the previously-thought denied .exe files. They allowed users to create shortcuts (which was very dumb), so i decided to point one at the C:\ (which normally doesn't show up in My Computer), and into the windows temp folder, which allows the running of .exe files. That way i was able to emulate to my hearts content  |

I only tried 3 emulators at school so far and 2 are blocked... and its a pain in the ass doing what I do to get around the site blocks without a proxy. The school blocks any site with proxy in its name |

Well, we need to know how the blocking is set up and all the emulators which are blocked before we can help you. |

(I am home sick today)
ZSNES doesn't work at all. Restrictions block it. Same with the other one I mentioned. The emulator I do have working at school does not have a save state option. It is a pain in the ( Y ) trying to get to a save point before the period ends. I need an emulator with a save state that won't be blocked. The emulator I have can save but only at where the game would be able to save as in on SNES. |

Check the path of where you're loading/saving save states in ZSNES. It should be in the "zsnesw.cfg" file. You can open it in note pad and just modify what the directions tell you to:
; Set this to 1 if you do not want ZSNES to save the configuration files.
DontSave = 0
; Savefile directory. Leave it blank if you want the save files to be in the
; same directory as the games. It should be in a format like : C:\dir\dir
SaveDirectory = D:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\NINTENDO\SUPER NES
; Game directory. This is the directory where the GUI starts at.
; ZSNES automatically writes the current directory here upon exit.
GameDirectory = D:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\NINTENDO\EDITING\EDITING TOOLS\YY-CHR
In the worst case, you need to change the SaveDirectory to the floppy drive "A:\" and save there. Sure, it will lag when you try to save, but it should work. |

How are you able to download the ROMs/emus if you can't write files? And if you can, why can't you have it save the states to where you can write them? |

Thank you for your help!
when you say "yes the actual thing", what exactly are you referring to? What does the error message say when it denies you access?
When starting the program it says that the school blocked them... (I guess that they saw people using that when they should be working) The bad emulators are the one that are not blocked. Mario RPG has a long begining and the bell rings right before I can get to save point. I am pissed that if a site had proxy in the name its blocked. If only I could get a proxy. I have to put it on disk at home and bring it in but thats a pain... I either need to get a proxy to somehow work so I could search for emulators easier... or I need to know exactly how to get an emulator with save state with so many sites blocked.
well my point in asking for a specific message was because depending on how it's blocked there might be ways around it. |

Yeah, it definitely sounds like a permission problem. The college I attended had a similar setup, but I managed to work around it to install stuff. (It was actually pretty easy, I just didn't install anything to the Program Files directory)
If you have a place where you can put documents, I'd try putting ZSNES and your ROMs there. Or maybe editing the ZSNES configuration file to write saves to your directory. |

All I can suggest is for you to go to Zophar's and check out the SNES emulators there - but even if one of the less-known ones works for you, it might not run the game(s) in question. :\ |
