I was just wondering, how come when I emulate SMW I get serious lag when there's more then 5 or 4 sprites on-screen at once? On my Super Nintendo, SMW can handle having like 14 sprites at once if not more. (the most I've seen on-screen at once in SMW is 14) Because if I use something like para-bombs then the game lags. Its the same with Lakitu, because he throws a crap-ton of Spiny's.
Oh, and if it helps, I use ZSNES. Is that apart of the problem? Because even on my current hack's title screen, there can't even be 2 sprites on screen at once.

The sprite tile limits patch will do absolutely squat to alleviate lag. There's no fix to sprite lag except using less sprites.

You'll need Xkas to insert patches.
Extract the .rar file and search .exe file.
Put the .asm file (from the patch you want) and your ROM (.smc) in the same folder of the .exe file of Xkas.
Then, open Start Menu and search for "cmd". Copy it to the folder with your files. Open the cmd, type: "xkas.exe PATCHNAMEHERE.asm ROMNAMEHERE.smc" (without the "), and press Enter.
It should work. :-)

If I were to use less sprites then my hack would have no enemies at all. Most levels (my hack has 12 out of 40 levels so far) start to lag when more then three sprites are on screen at once.

What have you patched to your ROM? What tools have you used?
Also, are you sure it's the ROM? It may actually just be your computer.

Ladida he probably hasn't used any patches due to the fact he didn't even know how to insert it.
The lag is probably just his computer.
I'm testing out the original Yoshi's island 2 that has 10 sprites on it at once

There are a few old tools and patches that could do it. An ancient Block Tool, for example.

The only patch I've used is the one to change the "Nintendo Presents" logo into a 16X16 logo.
The tools I used are Tweaker, Terra Stripe, Status Editor, and SMW customizer.
I'm positive it's not my computer. If I can run Team Fortress 2 without any problems, I should be able to run an emulator fine.

I do use block tool. Should I just not use it at all? Because I need it for teleport blocks and other things I need to use. Is there a newer Block Tool that doesn't cause these problems?

Alright, thank you. I'll try it out.
Sorry for bumping this thread, btw.

BlockTool could be causing it, but really should not be a problem unless you inserted a LOT of blocks. Run the original SMW; does this still happen?
And likewise your computer can handle an SNES no matter how crappy it is.
