I've been enjoying some nostalgia gaming a couple of hours a week with Snes9x this year. This is the first time I can remember having a real frustrating problem with Linux Mint since first installing 3.5 years ago! The only other change I can think of that may have broken Snes9x is something I installed - Spotify perhaps? It is the only software I've added in many months It has only been keeping snapshots for the previous five days - I actually thought it was holding much more than that. I don't appear to have anything in Time Shift that can help me.

Removing and adding again in Software Manager doesn't affect anything - as I expected would happen. How can I roll back the updates I did to see if it might fix it? This is the first time I've tried running Snes9x this month since I last updated. I mean to say, the last I used Snes9x was before running my 'August' updates. I haven't used it since July, and I would have run the Level 1 and 2 updates available in Update Manager once August rolled around (I like to run install the accumulated updates once a month only). What can be done when programs begin to act this way in Linux Mint? When attempting to run it, it appears on the Cinnamon taskbar for a split second before closing. The SNES emulator Snes9x has suddenly stopped working on my Linux Mint 18.3. When I first tried to run Snes9x it had a dx3rd (or something) problem- so I reinstalled Direct X and it fixed it-But now it crashes ('this program has stopped working') when I run it-it is version 1.
