Need Help With Project 64 Emulater

[pheonix]

Can someone please help me on this problem? When I first downloaded the emulator everything was fine and i could play my pokemon stadium game, but after a while I got a Graphics Error and it this what it say Direct 3D failed to initialize your HAL device make sure you have a properly configured 3D graphics card compatible with direct 3D 6.0. I don't know what this mean, so can someone help me out? I try re-downloading the emulator again but this time, the message showed up when I finished downloading it. =\


Thanks to the people who help me out.

I had this happen to me. You have to COMPLETELY unistall PJ64 (that means using the unistall from registry things in the PJ64 directory) and you have to delete some other entries (JaboSoft is one of them, I can't remember the other). Do that and reinstall PJ64.

Ok, can you give us your exact details of your computer - this may help to determine weather your computer is suitable for emulation - do other games work?

I only have one game.

Sony
1.30GHz Pentium 4
Window 2000 -Me Millennium
400MHz
128MB
60Gb
thats enough?

What about your graphics card? This could be the problem. This can easly be found by going to the video settings in control panel and going to the last tab (it is written there somehwere)

[pheonix]

What about your graphics card? This could be the problem

It says Cutting-edge Graphics
NVIDIA
Geforce2 MX
16MB VRAM

I'm not sure what those means...

[Lachp30]

Bleough, I have a Geforce 2 MX with 64mb of Ram and it works fine. Im sure its a problem with your graphics card mate, I'm sorry, but with my knowladge, Im not sure what else to sudgest:(

try reinstalling DirectX. I think I've had the same thing after I reinstalled video drivers. I seem to think thats what fixed it for me

and the D-pad thing, make sure that you have the controller plugin configured correctly. including settings for the dpad and all other buttons. I have Pokemon stadium for the console and PJ64. as I recall the game relies heavily on the dpad.

[pheonix]

Well...It's alright, thanks for your time anyway

How do I reinstalled the video drivers?

[pheonix]

Also, when I try to download the older version of pj64 i get the same message that appear when the download is complete.

Graphics Error
direct 3D failed to intialize your HAL device...and blaw blaw blaw

[Kaoss626]

I'd say the video drivers are probably fine if it's working in other games, but Id suggest you reinstall directX. Get it here

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx?url=/windows/directx/downloads/

hang on to the file you might need it again sometime. I don't always have to reinstall it after every time I upgrade drivers, but once in a while it helps. Especially if things get corrupted by lockups etc....

[Kaoss626]

you get the error becuase jabo 1.5 and all other versions of his plugin rely on directx to handle calls on the graphics card rather than the plug in call the card directly. this way he can write a plugin that works on many different cards rather than just one. I'm thinking the source of the error is from directx not the graphics plugin.... hence the direct3d the 3d video portion of directx "failed to initialize your HAL device"

[pheonix]

So now since I have downlaoded the directX, it should work now?

[Kaoss626]

install directx and try pj64.

I'm thinking that should about do it
