Hello all,

I have P64 and I can play some games on it but I am wondering how I can increase the viewing distance. For example, in mario64, I need to see farther but I can't!

Also, my other question is, some games like waverace have graphical glitches with the water and scenary. is there anything i can do about this? i have a nvidia geforce 5200 with 128 mb.

thanks!

I believe that it's emulated like it's supposed to be in games like Mario 64 so I don't think you can increase the viewing distance. For the graphical glitches you might want to download the newest drivers for your gfx card.

You need to tell us your other system specs, like CPU speed, your card is fine for N64 emulation.

Also what plugins are you using?

i have the origional mario and waverace and pj64 pretty much emulates them perfect.the camera work on mario 64 was always a bit dodgy even on the origional dont forget these games are 7-8 years old so any slight glitches are part and parcel of the n64 machine itself.

There is a whole section devoted to plugins in the PJ64's User Manual at this location:

[In the User Manual] Configuration > Application > Plugins

Once you've read all this stuff carefully, go to the download section and download some plugins!

Edit: The manual is slightly old, so in the RSP section it says there are no other RSP plugins, but there are now at least two others available to try, Hacktarux's RSP and Rice's Unofficial RSP.
