Project 64

[mnc2fan]

I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about this here if I'm not just lock it, but...

I downloaded project 64 (nintendo 64 emulator), it was working fine, but yesterday something went wrong with it and now the graphics don't display right. Missing character models, level parts are missing. I've tried downloading from several different places, different versions and nothing seems to work.

N64 emulators aren't perfect. That's to be expected. Check your graphics card settings/drivers.

yeah, ussually i keep 2 or 3 on pc. Incase one doesn't work right the other might. But I'm just running on a budget card, i don't get significant grraphical errors.

You're so lucky, I've never been able to get anything but zsnes to work... I hate emulators cept Zsnes, because they just don't work for me. . .

What I've found is an emulator will work fine on one compy, but on another compy just like it the emu might not work. For Zsnes I had over 500 roms several gb worth. My school compys are all over 2 Ghz, but my compy at home is only 1.4 and it runs extremely faster at home...

your school compys probably
1)don't have a (decent) gfx card
2)a celeron processor
3)are crammed with viruses and security crap

Yep, school comps suck.

*checks list of emulators*
All the best systems: BeebEM (BBC Micro), ModelB (BBC Micro), VirtualPC (x86 PC), Emukon (SMS/GG), VTI.

i like famtasia, it's great for recording nes speedrun movies like the one morimoto made. You can play at like 5% speed, but if you play back it's normal speed. Even i could make an impressive speedrun movie.

Actually, the computers at my high school had decent specs. 1.8GHz P4s and 64MB ATI graphics cards...

[Dwedit]

The modified version of FCEU still beats the crap out of famtasia. I still liked good ol famtasia, because it was the first NES emulator to emulate the DPCM sound channel and run FDS games.

what do all those acronyms mean? i know NES, but the other ones??

I run the PJ64 emu on my laptop only a 366 mhz computer. Of course I have the gfx down to the lowest I can go 320- by something....

[DarkAuron]

On my 667mhz compy I can get sm64 to run at 70fps+ for every level on pj64 only if I set pj64 to highest priority, set other things to lowest priority, and have it fullscreen with nothing running at all, even some windows components (just enough to prevent a BSOD/lockup )

leofox: FCEU is FCE Ultra, IMO a really good NES emu but runs crappy if your cpu isn't really really fast and you don't adjust the sound settings (default makes it run very slow for some reason). The other ones I don't know

[mnc2fan]

On my compy (1.4 Ghz) I run it in a window, with other progs running and the pj64 with full ghx and 1152*864 runs just about all the games over 70 fps. And to replace pj64 I now have 1964 emu, which runs just as good, but doesn't play as any games.

In 1964 with sm64 and 1024x768 on a 2.6ghzP4 w/HT i got an avg of 200fps and i got a 5200FX. Of course thats with the speed limit off.
