I've had the same problem for a few years now, although almost certainly to a much greater extent. Most days I feel as though I've gone completely retarded. I've had two CAT scans, numerous blood tests, and a meeting with a neurologist, and they all tell me I'm "normal." Ha ha ha. I guess being completely muddle-headed and uncoordinated to the point of mangling simple sentences and tripping over my own feet is "normal" nowadays!

I guess the closest I've come to any sort of diagnosis is depression and anxiety, though I'm almost certain it's something more (I think I'm anxious and depressed BECAUSE of this problem!). My subconscious keeps telling me I have some kind of brain damage or slowly-progressing disease, but then I go and create something like this, in a matter of hours, with no prior programming experience...

sigh. I'm so confused.

I have three PCs, all shared via a 4-port KVM switch:

PC #1: Blobby
AMD K6-3 ~412MHz
192MB PC100 RAM
PC CHIPS M571 MB
Antec 430W PSU
some no-name silver windowed case (but it's pretty )
Windows 98 SE
200GB Maxtor HD
8x/4x/32x Sony CDRW
3dfx Voodoo4 4500 PCI
Sound Blaster SB32 w/8MB wavetable RAM

Good ol' Blobby. Used primarily for Internet and ROM hacking stuffs.

PC #2: Silver Eclipse
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
512MB PC3200 CL2 RAM
MSI K8T Neo-FSR MB
BFG 650W PSU
Antec Nine Hundred Gamer case
Windows 98 SE/2000 Professional dual-boot
40GB Samsung HD
160GB Seagate HD
LITE-ON DVD/CDRW combo
BFG GeForce 7800GS OC AGP
Sound Blaster Audigy 2
ATI TV Wonder Pro

My emulation/gaming rig. Not the fastest thing in town anymore, but it works fine for me, and has a screaming video card.

PC #3: Microchip
AMD K6-2 550MHz
128MB PC100 RAM
FIC VA-503+ MB
Antec 380W (?) PSU
no-name beige case
Windows 98 SE
12GB (?) Maxtor HD
Plextor 12x/10x/32x CDRW
Voodoo3 2000 PCI
Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold

My DOS box, for anything from the good ol' days of PC gaming. Haven't actually used it in a while, so I forgot a few of the specs.

Other stuff
ViewSonic VX2235wm 22" Widescreen LCD monitor - $299 at Costco. Practically a steal.
Logitech and Labtec speakers w/subwoofers - one pair for the front channels, one pair for the back. 4.1 surround = bliss.
Acer S2W 4300U USB scanner - meh, it works.
HP deskjet 5650 printer - REALLY nice, also a steal at ~$60 IIRC. 'Twas a display model, never even powered up.

I have a BFG 7800GS OC, and it tends to freeze when I play Psychonauts. Temps are OK, and I have a beefy 650W PSU. I've read that it's a driver issue, but who knows when/if it'll be fixed.

Nice to know that the usability of your rather hefty investment is such a top priority at NVIDIA, huh?

I'm not a huge fan of potato chips, except for those really thick ones cooked in peanut oil. Tim's Cascade Style = <3.

Ruffles are okay in a pinch, but ordinary Lay's are absolute crap.

I prefer good, thick, salty tortilla chips to most any other kind of chip, especially if I have some good cheesy/beany dip to go with them. One of my favorite recently-discovered meals is a bowl of Stagg Country Brand chili, with a handful of shredded cheddar/jack cheese mixed in, and a side of tortilla chips for dipping. Mmmmmmmm.

Eh, I think I was a pretty well-behaved newbie. I was in high school when I was "properly" introduced to the Internet (back in 1996-97?), and I was a pretty quiet, mellow, and intelligent (or so I like to think ) kid. Probably the n00biest thing I did was ask a ROM hacking board why my QuackShot cartridge for the Genesis didn't make any sound...I guess I thought they were geniuses or something.

Unfortunately, one old habit I STILL haven't been able to break is my tendency to end sentences with ellipses (ellipsises? ellipsi?)...

...

So...today, I went to church, got some lunch, browsed around at a thrift store and CompUSA for an hour or so, drove home, hacked SMW a little, took a three-hour (?) nap, watched some TV, messed around with my new monitor stand a little, hacked SMW some more, played around in MAME for a while, checked all my usual websites...and now, it's only 11:55PM. I feel like I've been awake for 24 hours, and there's still about 4 or 5 hours to go until I can even consider sleeping.

Has today (2/25) felt unusually long for anyone else?

A properly-constructed screamer will make people turn up the volume on their own, without needing the prerequisite "hay guyz turn up your volume first." Start it off with some ordinary, boring footage of a guy giving a lecture (with the volume cranked down, of course), let it run for a minute, and THEN whip out the screaming monster. Maybe spice it up a little before the payload by adding fart noises over the guy's lecture; make the video seem a little more "legitimate" in order to hold the viewer's attention (you could then advertise it as "hilarious farting lecturer" or something equally inconspicuous). You have to hit them when they absolutely do NOT expect it.

(Of course, having only seen one or two screamers myself, I dunno if this has already been done... )

Soft, squishy, peanut buttery chocolatey goodness?
There's no chocolate in Reese's Pieces, just peanut butter and a candy shell. Common mistake.

Let's see if I can remember all the good ones:

Smarties (I like to let them melt in my mouth)
Pixy Stix
Reese's Pieces
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Cadbury Mini Eggs (the ones with the sugary shell, not the Whoppers ripoffs)
Peanut M&Ms
Wild Berry Skittles
Tart n' Tinys
Sour Belts (blue raspberry is the best)
SweetTarts, in a pinch (not quite as fond of them anymore)
Any kind of fruity gum (those fruit-shaped gumballs with the candy center are win)
Nerds
Gobstoppers
Colored jawbreakers (the plain white ones are blah)
Gummy things (as long as they're made with fruit juice)
Most sour things, especially gummy sour things
Plain ol' milk chocolate, all shapes and sizes
Bite-sized candy bars (those little square ones you get in mixed bags)
Spearmint flavored things
Almost anything that's red, orange, or purple

The bad ones:

BLACK LICORICE. Ugh. It smells AND tastes like poison!
Tootsie Rolls (gawd, that was all I EVER got at Halloween)
Tootsie Roll Pops (basically lose wrapped in fail)
Green Apple Pops
Candy corn
Those pillow-shaped mint things grandmas leave out in bowls year-round
Jolly Ranchers (they always stuck to my teeth, and even cut my tongue on occasion!)
Red-hot cinnamon flavored things (I like to enjoy my candy, not writhe in burning agony)
Semi-sweet or dark chocolate
Watermelon-flavored things (I'm awfully glad real watermelon tastes nothing like that)
Maple flavored things
Coffee flavored things
Peppermint flavored things
Chocolate-covered fruit (just...barf)
Almost anything that's green, yellow, or white (white is always either mint or pina colada )

There are certainly more that I can't remember, but since I can't edit this post, you'll just have to take my word for it.

This is very bizarre.

Your ROMs are not the problem, since you already claimed that they work fine on different computers. The emulators themselves are also obviously not the problem, since you downloaded a fresh copy of SNES9X.

Try reinstalling DirectX and your video drivers, maybe? I do believe both SNES9X and ZSNES use DirectDraw to render their video. You might also try disabling sound completely (both emulators have such an option). Basically, try disabling/changing various features until you (hopefully) find the culprit.

I have a prototype Famicom game, Ninja Jajamaru: Ginga Dai Sakusen. It's at least a few months older than the final version, as there are a TON of glitches, and the final boss battle's not implemented yet. The game was almost released over here as "Squashed" (you can read about it at Lost Levels if you'd like). I've dumped and released the ROM, though you'll have to find it yourself.

Other rare/interesting things I have:

NES
AV Famicom, complete
Famicom Disk System
Super Mario Bros. 2 (FDS), complete
Doki Doki Panic (FDS)
Gimmick! (FC)
Akumajou Dracula (FC, aka Castlevania III)
Legend of the Blob Bros. 2, on a cartridge!
Vice: Project DOOM, from NOA's official game library (has tracking label taped to it)
The Legend of Zelda, factory-sealed (the rerelease, not the original )
Ms. Pac-Man (Namco), factory-sealed
Several FC carts
A whole bunch of pirate carts

SNES
Chrono Trigger (both Japanese and US)
Rockman 7
Super Game Boy 2 (Japan only, has a link port), complete
Several SFC carts

Game Boy
Kirby's Block Ball demo cart (complete with "PROPERTY OF NINTENDO" sticker )

Genesis/Sega CD
Genesis Nomad
Lunar: The Silver Star, complete w/ guide book
Sonic CD (Europe, got it for the soundtrack)
A few Megadrive games, including Sonic 1 (second revision) and Sonic 2

PSX
Lunar: SSS Complete
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete
Castlevania: SotN (original release)

That's about all I can think of right now...
