Need a hand here. The rest of the game looks fine 100%, but three rock palace shows a bunch of "stuff" - its not really playable it looks so bad. Link to screen shot. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Sounds like a corrupt ROM file. You're probably missing the last 32K of CHR-ROM, so your file is 224k instead of 256k. If you have the 232k version, then pad the ROM file to 256k and update the header.

The titlebar itself reveals the problem - the ROM is named "Zelda II - The Adventure of Link (U) [b8]", which means it's a known bad dump and thus any attempts to emulate it are pointless.

Thanks, I think it is, too. Will find a better rom.
