Radeon Card Isues*including Drivers

[Hoffy]

I have a radeon 8500le with latest drivers.....
Does any 1 know of any probs with this set up?
also wot might be the best plugins for radeon cards.....

I don't know about the card, but it should be fine, I'm running a Radeon 7000 @ 800x600x16 very smoothly.

the latest drivers (released yesturday) are causing PJ64 to fail to initialize Jabo's video 1.5, when I have my ATI drivers D3D setting set to highest quality, but it works fine in ballenced.

Why are you using 16bit colorspace?? I mean, does it reduce picture quality since N64 games uses 32bit colorspacer (I Think...)
How many percentage faster is emulator when using 16bit colours?

I would like to know some facts for this case, so that I know which setting to use...

Thanks

Iv tried most setting from the lowest rez to the highest in 32bit & 16bit color but no change.......
you think i shud change my advanced setting for open Gl & D3d?
to ballanced?

I'm using 16 bit because Motoracer for the PC requires it and I'm too lazy to change to 32 bit all the time. Since the machine is a game computer for my kid, I want every thing to work right with out having to twiddle with settings all the time.

I really don't know if its any faster or not.

and I'm using the ballenced for now just because I havent taken the time to figgure out what setting in High Quality is causeing the failure of the plugin to initialize.

I havent found a plugin that does work well for OpenGL.

I've just checked this out (upgraded to the latest cat 3.2s yesteday) and all seems to be working fine. I did start off with a "clean" install of PJ64 though. Have you tried anything from the uninstall folder PJ64 comes with? "remove Project64 plugins settings" should do the trick.
