Trying to get Smash Bros, Goldeneye (split-screen), and Mario Tennis to run flawless

So far, I've gotten Mario 64, Conker, Wave Race, Snowboard Kids and Mario Kart to run with only negligible errors. My goal is to get the last three in the topic, and then just not worry about emulating N64 games anymore, its tough... though worth it

1) Super Smash Bros runs great, nearly flawlessly, but I get gfx errors with 2D objects, like either the handle of the hammer is missing, Samus's charge up shot is really small even when fully pumped up, Mario's fireballs and the shield bubble are displayed at an angle and it gets annoying.

2) Goldeneye looks real messed up on split-screen, you can see through walls.

3) Mario Tennis has wierd 2D object issues like Smash Bros. The effects from hitting the ball show in the upper left corner, ball boys are missing, and replays are messed up.

If anyone knows how to corret these errors, either by changing configuartions, using a different plug-in, or using a different emulator, please tell me. I have to get these three games to run without the errors.


I have an Athlon XP 2500, Radeon 9800 (non-pro), and 512mb pc2700 ram. Also, I have been using Rice's Daeduaus 5.1.0 and Jabo's Direct3D6 1.5

BTW, since you guys are helping me out, I'll let you in on the one fix I know. Sorry, I only know one. To get Snowboard Kids to not flicker in split-screen, use Jabo gfx plugin and set D3D Clear Mode to one per frame in the gfx config in the advanced tab.

I don't get a black box around the magnifying thing in SSB anyways, really the only glitch I get is from some of the 2D objects with Jabo or Rice's plugin, other than that it is flawless.

And that makes me extra mad, I want to get this fixed!

Also, how do I get the glN64 plugins to work, I dont have a 3Dfx card

Wow, smash bros on 1964 with glN64 runs without gameplay affecting glitches, except for the black around the magnifying glass, which you said would be fixed in the next version of 1964, and if they make it so the hand for picking chars in multi-player mode, it will be a bug free game! Also, Goldeneye ran a lot less glitchier on split-screen with 1964 and glN64, but I still got some minor flickering in the bottom half of multi-player (i only tried two player). Thanks for the help! I didn't even know 1964 existed. Hopefully the next release of 1964 will iron out the glitches I am still getting.

As for Mario Tennis, I'll stop worrying about trying to emulate that game, it was a really advanced game technically for the N64 and seems to be impossible to emulate, and its one of those N64 games that won't play better when emulated, it will only look better.

BTW, more info on how to get Goldeneye or SSB to run bug free is still very welcome

ah, i fixed the black magnifying glass glitch, so that means the only glitch worth mentioning is the fact that the hand doesn't show up in the character select for multi-player. That is awesome! And I bet that bug gets squashed in the next 1964 release!

Status update: SSB = conquered | Goldeneye = Nearly there, maybe will be flawless after next 1964 | Mario Tennis = given up upon by me, i'll just deal with low-res graphics on my N64, its not a big deal, at least the FPS is great on the N64.
