wellll... never seen that popup. So either my ROMs are corrupt/hacked and SNES9X is just being lenient with them, or something isn't quite working right. 27" 64-bit late-'11 iMac, mostly-factory-max'd spec, 10.7.3, if any of that doesn't match your test systems. Thanks for taking an interest in clarifying this!
If you're using the roms from the BS-X Zelda Homepage (I didn't put the link in here to protect MacScene from any recourse - Google "BS-X Zelda" and it's the first page listed), then BSNES might throw a fit at them since they're both patched
and trained (could do without the trainer). I got them "working" so to speak in BSNES 0.6.8, but you're stuck with no movement control whatsoever once the game world comes up and you're in the first house with Arinah. SNES9x 1.52 plays them just fine, though you'll need to rename your SRAM file to bszelda_ast
x.srm when launching the BS Zelda week 2 ROM, where the bolded x is the number for the week you're going to launch (so it reads from that .srm file to load your saved progress).
So far, about the only thing that really grinds my gears in BS-Z is that blasted strip of text at the bottom of the screen constantly remarking about my heart containers/bombs/random crap from the Seer/Arinah, as it blocks the bottom of my screen.
