Snes9x crashing windows 10 download for windows#

At its worst I have had this happen once an hour. ZSNES 1.51 is available to all software users as a free download for Windows 10 PCs but also without a hitch on Windows 7 and Windows 8. If I turn the controller off the emulator does not react, however if the connection light on my idroid starts blinking 9x crashes a second afterwards. Past vods have shown the stream abruptly ending with no warning. I use Windows 10 64-bit on a Surface Pro 3, on Snes9x ењ†4 1.5.5.0- the bluetooth connection I use for all of my controllers is built in. My browser tab with Twitch's stream manager is fine, and the emulator is still running.

There is never a warning, everything is fine, I'm playing the game, both monitors running smoothly, then suddenly everything freezes for about a second, then both monitors go black for another full second, then everything comes back on except for OBS, no dialogue or anything. My PC is more than capable of handling the running programs (Task Manager also reflects this) and SNES9x is the only application that causes it. It has crashed while not live as well, albeit, after a much longer time. The crash occurs the quickest while I am streaming and consistently crashes within the first 5-10 minutes. I've tried a plethora of settings changes both in OBS and the emulator itself but nothing has changed the outcome even a little. When I try to use an app like FL Studio or Snes9x, they randomly close for no apparent reason.

I can't figure out *why* it's crashing let alone fixing it. OBS log analyzer has given me nothing to work with.
