im pretty sure zsnes can play super mario rpg, because i played super mario rpg on it like twenty years ago.
Oh lad, I can tell ya without any doubt that Super Mario RPG had major problems running on the ZSNES.
This is a very vivid memory of mine: I played this game for the first time 15 years ago, never had any graphical glitches or any spaz or anything really, it was running butterly smooth.
... Until I reached this part
For some reason, the game just decided to softlock the cutscene and made me unable to enter Bowser's Keep. The Noble Bus was still animated, and same went with the background, but no matter what I did, the camera hole never closed it out and triggered the next cutscene.
Since everything was supposedly running like "normal", I thought I had to press a button to continue, but no matter what I did, it just never allowed me to go any further. I was stuck there for about 2 weeks, until I thought of changing emulators, and Voila! I could actually progress and beat the game.
Idk if my ZSNES was too old even by 2010's standards, but this screen never left my mind. I always tried to search if people got stuck in the Noble Bus too, but the only posts I saw were people being stuck at the start of the game, the 5th's Star animation or the squid boss, but never the Noble Bus (which does sting a bit more since you're literally at the end of the game lol).
