Help with Top Gear Overdrive

[cokeman118]

Hello,

I've been trying to get Top Gear Overdrive to play but I can't get past the title screen. I can only get it to work with Rice's Video Plugin 5.4.3. Im using Direct X with a Limited Stage 2 combiner. CF=1, VI limit is 60. Im using the latest version of 1964. I have an Nvidia GeForce 2 Ti with 64 MB Ram, and Windows XP.

I can't get any screens to show up on here to show you. After I get to the Main logo if I hit the "A" button the emu locks up. Core goes to 99% everything else goes to zero. My VI/s rate goes up to about 200+. The highest it's been was over 500. Other than that, it is about 30.

Any suggestions on how to get past the title and play the game??

Please help.

Thanks

hmmm, yeah the same thing here. only thing i can say is to use the version that it works with. hopefully rice can figure something out. the video goes up to 90 something percent of cpu use for me not the core.

Hi,
One problem that could make it not start is to start with any kind of texture filters on . So I start with all default settings , then when race starts I turn on any filters I want . My rom properties are the same I left in the sticky thread.
My card doesn't have pixel shaders . Im still using for geforce in directx mode.
Afaik this game has worked with all rices plugins since .99 came out.

[rcgamer]

well now it wont work for me with any of the previous plugins either. i either get an exception in emulation thread error or it just freezes.

[liteuser]

It must have been when you upgraded FW drivers cause you said your self it used to work. hope you get that fixed run a reg editor see if some settings are still registered .

[rcgamer]

are you using the U! rom or the E! rom

[liteuser]

The (U) [!] one look in the 1964 .99 sticky on my rom properties screenshot it says it right on there.

look here

[rcgamer]

i didnt see your rom properties screen. anyway im using the E version maybe thats the problem.

[NeTo]

E version works very well for me with the same settings liteuser uses.

[rcgamer]

thanks liteuser got it now. it works. though the intro still puts the plugin in the 90% cpu use range.

[liteuser]

Cool Im glad you got it working . I have used your settings on games and it helps out a lot. thanks

Ah , I've got a question , it has to do with Martin (the Admin) . 1 month ago , his title under his name was "Banned" , have he really been banned or did he Fake a ban ? (sry for off-topic)

[Trotterwatch]

It was a joke ;) We don't really tend to ban the Admins on here :)

Btw, i have the "U" ! rom and it works perfectly with rice 5.2.0
haven't tested yet with 5.4.x or 5.5.x..but it refused to work when i upgraded forceware to 53.03 (used to work with 52.16) and worked again with 56.xx.

52 and 53 series have many problems with rice's plugins. Use 56.64 or 56.72.

Alas pucha tchê :P ;)

Emm...im sorry but i still cant get this game to work.
I have read the thread, upgraded to latest 56.72, nothing (black screen-90% idle).
I use default settings (rice5.5.0/2), but ive tried with other combiners, same result.
Please help :down:

[rcgamer]

did you change the rom properties like liteuser stated?

[easymode]

its ok
I did have one parameter not set to default (frame buffer r/w).
Im almost sure i didnt touch this, but anyway, it works now.

Thanks for the help
