Super Mario Kart (SNES) cannot pick up coins / weapons

I’m running retroarch on openelec with the Rom Broswer add-on.

The snes9x and snes9x_next cores work for the everything I’ve tried so far. None of the bsnes cores work for me at all.

My issue is with snes9x and MarioKart, I can’t pickup coins or weapons and randomly lakitu will pick me up from the middle of the track.

Any ideas what my problem might be?

That sounds really strange. It might be a bad dump, especially since bsnes refuses to load it at all.

for bsnes to load it he would need the dsp1b files at very least http://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=Bsnes#BIOS

It was a bad dump, never had one show weird issues like that before.

My bsnes issues are unresolved still, bit off topic but it looks like this in case anyone has any ideas!

./retroarch.sh bsnes_cplusplus98 /storage/roms/snes/roms/Zool.smc RetroArch [WARN] :: patch_content :: Did not find a valid content patch. RetroArch [WARN] :: init_video_pixel_converter :: 0RGB1555 pixel format is deprecated, and will be slower. For 15/16-bit, RGB565 format is preferred. sh: xdg-screensaver: not found RetroArch [WARN] :: x11_suspend_screensaver :: Could not suspend screen saver.

Leaves me with a blank screen on any rom.
