Default SNES Emulator Issues
Recently, I downloaded the SNES emulator SNES9X so as to relive my fond memories of Final Fantasy VI, and for quite some time, everything has been simply dandy. However, not very long ago, some of the game's graphics haven't been displaying properly, such as the menu being a much lighter shade of blue and Espers not appearing while in use. The actual mechanics of the game are working perfectly, but I'm somewhat concerned as to why the graphics have stopped displaying properly all of a sudden.

None of my internet searches have yielded any answers, so I ask: KHInsider, does anybody here have an idea as to what is happening with my ROM or my emulator?
I love both as dearly as children, and would hate to have to rework through all of the progress I've made in FFVI.

Well, as long as you have your .sav file (which, I believe, contains your saved game data; it should have the same name as your actual ROM excluding the file extension), I believe your saved data will be completely intact and you'll be able to continue wherever you left off regardless of what emulator you are using to play it.

Snes9x is my personal favorite for emulating SNES games; I'm afraid I lack the technical knowledge to know exactly what might be the problem, but I can suggest another good emulator for you.

I would be lying if I said I didn't find using it just a bit uncomfortable, but you might want to try it out anyway and see if it fixes any of the problems.

I don't think I've had any problems with ZSNES yet.

SNES9X is decent, but I switched to ZSNES for a specific ROM not agreeing with SNES9X or something.

IIRC Snes9x has options that can be clicked to turn off levels of colors and sprites.

you might wanna mess around in your settings.

you might have accidentally pressed a hot key that disables certain layers of the game. try pressing the number keys, thats how ZSNES works anyway.
