rdb wip

[Olax]

south park chefs luv shack

works as long as you use the Jabo 1.4 audio plugin, nothing else will run for me.

In the main game there are minor gfx errors in that the questions are not highlighted but as long as you have the speakers on you hear a sound when you move so it is playable no problem.

I played with no crashes but the some of the mini games gfx are screwed

Hey Smiff,

It was me who reported problem in DK mine level. Did you check the savestate I uploaded to ftp?

As I said in other thread, for me this level only works using interpreter. Recompiler gives gfx error (screenshot in other thread)

[Lex]

Good work smiff:pj64:

[maximusXP]

Hi Smiff, in Mia Hamm Soccer 64 i touch anything, i can see the game don´t pass the intro pic(i guess this is why the browser say video doesn´t start or not?). But i paused with the emu any times, i can see the pic of the company, how could be? Repeat , only when the emu are paused i can see.

[Yoshi]

I found something interesting with the new rdb

There's an error in the rom browser:
"pocket monster stadium (J) [!] - region issue - use other rom version"
Is impossible to use another version of that rom because that game was released in japan only.

There are little sounds issues in these games:
Super Mario 64 (J) [!] Missing some speech (Peach's voice at the intro for example)
Mario KArt 64 (J) [!] [1.1] The music in the menus miss some instruments

Automatic configuration error
Dobutstu no mori (J) [!] this game needs internal trasformation for have a readable text and menus. In automatic mode the plug-in set external trasformation.

Hope that helps :)

Isn't Pokemon Stadium a US/EUR equivalent?

it works for me with recomp, and no one else has reported it. maybe ill make your state available

[maximusXP]

Again, the settings for Mia Hammer can show in this pic(remember, only show that pic , the company makers show when the emu are in paused). Another thing. Only con Azimer´s sound plug-in when i stock in the pic if push the button A the music start

Pokemon Stadium US/Eur are the equivalents of Pokemon Stadium 2 Japan. The first game was never translated.

[Yoshi]

Exactly. Try play Pocket Monster stadium in Nemu, then try pokemon stadium usa or pal. You'll see the difference:)

[Allnatural]

Look at what I kind of got working.:p

[Allnatural]

Ooo...pretty.:happy:

[Allnatural]

Before anyone gets all giggly, it's not easy getting this game going, and most of it looks terrible. You have to use the 1.2 video plugin, but you must start the game with external transforms, and switch to internal only after the race starts. It sounds strange, but that's the pattern to get it working. That being the case, the status of XG2 won't change, but I thought it was interesting that the game will run with graphics.:p

[64ultramaniac]

Another game that needs CF1 to get rid of the jerkiness is A Bug's
Life.Much smoother and exactly the way it should be.(and still runs in full speed too)

[Ogy]

smiff, you have written the same comments for Quake 64 and Quake II but they have different issues

I can repete. Did you do this on the first map? Also, maybe there is a code that gets rid of the sky.

[PcVII]

hmm on smash bros.. with jabo's 1.4 dx6 plug the cusour shows on the character select screen with my mom's ATI All-in-wonder Pro :P graphics are just alittle on the sluggish side and the characters have white parts :P

sort of useless info for u guys

[Smiff]

yeah (didnt i post this sorry?) i found out what was up w/ SSB - use a digital device to move the hand - ok - use analogue device - dissappears. seriously! so use 1.3 video

[Smiff]

baybe there is a code that gets rid of the sky. [/B]

baybe there is ;)

bits of Quake2 flicker bad for me even on CF1 - though still better than CF2. what does everyone else find?

[Allnatural]

I still see plenty of flickering in Quake II as well.

[Ogy]

Quake II doesn't flicker for me at all i am positive.

BTW:
do you have to put normal blending for invisible mario too or is it just me?
also does namco museum 64 crash 4 you in some mini games?
and does normal blending solves the black walls in megaman 64 for you too?

[Smiff]

Namco Museum needs interpreter, good one.

Normal Blending doesnt solve MegaMan wall problem for me no, anyone else?

Invisible Mario, Normal-Blending? eh? should know about that if true.

Ogy, Ogy Ogy Ogy

J&Z just got on with dev on their machines, I was worrying about others.. we couldnt say anything about V4/5 since none of us had one or cared enough (no offense, its just not very important how well it works on a card made by a company that no longer exists and not many people have or will buy). second point, i disagree that it looks better than either a Radeon or a GeForce.. what are you trying to show in that pic?

[Ogy]

here's a movie w/ QuakeII i had to limit it in size and in quality because of the size limit, i hope you can see it's not flickering.
maybe it's a driver problem because some people said they do not get flickering in some games that's supposed to have some.

BTW golden nugget 64 fails even on interpreter 4 me after a while, and mario64 - normal blending is probably just my knackered system

Ogy sorry but (/me scratches head) in that pic you posted the walls are all black (!). they should not be black AFAIK.

[Reznor007]

Umm...Smiff, I can see a texture on the left and right walls. Turn up your monitors brightness or something to check.

thank god, i really thought i was loosing my mind.

can you try it with PJ64+normal blending Reznor007?

BTW: golden nugget doesn't crash anymore, it was probably my sys working overtime.

[Olax]

J League Live (J) is listed as uncertain

Works in interpreter mode with either 3d6 1.2/1.4.

Due to the dog slow speed probably recommend running the game in 1.3. Seems to be reading a lot of controller as well, takes ages to move arounf.

If you run the game with recompiler then the camera jumps around like crazy, suspect it is a PJ64 issue as it seems to run okay in 1964

ah.. Sony guys who serviced my monitor left it adjusted all weird... but its very dark, and enabling Normal-Blending also makes the walls transparent, hmm

sorry olax i dont see a game matching that name, any ideas?

[PcVII]

\Extreme G has graphics issues that i think maybe you should recommencd the use of jabo's 1.3 instead of 1.4 because alot of stuff is always flashing on the screen in jabo's 1.4 durring the race sometimes you run into a wall thinking your going down the road

ok mat if you're going to do that (which is fine) you should change the Good Name field - that of course isn't the right good name for that ROM (if it even has a good name?), this is important so you don't confuse people. for example, the CRC for that ROM (Diddy Kong Racing (U) (V1.0) [!]) is 53D440E7-7519B011-C:45

yeah, zelda MM was always missing that scene, i used RGB to watch it, you can also use Wireframe but then you can't see the text.

BTW: it's not ocarina from skull kid it's song of time from zelda i can upload a saved state if you want.

thought the j-league rom was ok! ;-)

Okay tonights game........


F1 Racing Championship (E) [!] listed as uncertain.

It works okay, frame rate is slightly slow about 30-35 on my machine, (as the rdb states) also on my machine 1.4 3d7 hangs, need to use 1.4 3d6, you also need to use Azimer 0.3 audio

Think this is a PJ issue as 1964 runs the same config at 50 v/i

Something about Dark Rift. In RSP unchecked all and Interpreter.
if use jabo D6 use any resolution, if you jabo D7 only 320x240.This last one work better.You can see the start screen and sometimes skip screens with twice o three start . In the case of Jabo D6 you have to pause the emu for see something(sometimes).Audio plug any or Nosound(both cases). In the both cases too,Flickering,slow,so please dont start with "the game still not is playable, and bla bla, only wanna share this:)

Hey Smiff, I have something to report about Donkey Kong 64 (U) [!].

CF = 3 (your setting) makes the game run faster, but it's not the best setting, since Donkey's barrel game isn't playable and some exits aren't accessible.

CF = 4 solves all these problem (even if the game will run worse) while CF = 6 set the barrels ( in barrel game) to have the maximum range.
I suggest to run DK with CF = 3 then, when needed, save the game, change the ini, exit and relaunch PJ64.

Also, "protect memory" seems to work better than "check mem. & cache" but playing the minecart level PJ64 will report an access violation in the graphic plugin.

[gogogo]

I don't know whether the latest rdb file is more compatible or not, but I felt that it was slow. I used it to play Fushigi no Dungeon - Furai no Shiren 2 (J), it's over 50% slow down.

[EdgeBlade]

Eveyone does relise that the RDB is just a text file with individual game settings right? The latesed RDB isn't slow, the settings for that game may be wrong, but I wouldn't be suprised if Smiff hasn't even touched the settings for "Fushigi no Dungeon - Furai no Shiren 2 (J)"

[gogogo]

Refer to EdgeBlade:
The settings for that game may be wrong, but I wouldn't be suprised if Smiff hasn't even touched the settings for "Fushigi no Dungeon - Furai no Shiren 2 (J)"

Smiff did change the setting of RDRAM size= 8. But the game is 50% slow down and still Freeze on some screen.

Setting CF = 4 you will be able to see the WHOLE intro of the game !!

I added some screenshots.

[Smiff]

yeah heh i guessed that, just hadnt tested it

[Smiff]

So, if anyone can come up with a list of points in the game that need CF4+, that would really help (states to go with them would be good).

Just a quick note regarding Super Mario 64 (J), I think they never recorded Peach's speech in the first place. I think that NOA just decided to record that in the English version. Reason being, I crossed checked all of this using the original as well as the Shindou (Rumble pack) edition, and I also used 1964 to check both of them, and none of them played any speech.

If you've played Super Mario 64, ROM or on the real N64, you'll notice that Peach actually talks in the intro scene. In the Japanese version however there is no speech at all. I'm pretty sure that's just how it is, rather than an emulation bug...but I don't have the real Japanese version of it so I can't be 100% sure.

acually Super Mario 64 Shindou edition (J) has recorded speech at the first start of the game when peach reads her Dear Mario letter. (its in English too).
as far as i know the original (J) version should as well but i was only able to test it on the rumble edition.
so you are very wrong dude. you better check your roms.

[B*A*G*G]

speaking of Mario64,
whats wrong with the sound in the Shindou Edition (J)?
it dosent sound near as chrisp as it does in the (U) version.
the sound is softer and not as loud in the highs.
(i also confirmed it with my EQ lead).
can anyone test this out on a real n64 system?

[ContraCelsum]

Smiff, here is a small list of points that need CF = 4.

1) The intro of the game

2) Donkey's barrel game in "Jungle Japes" level (with CF = 3 the barrels haven't enough range; with CF = 6 they are set to their maximum)

3) Donkey's attemp to free the Llama (uhm, it sounds familiar..) playing the barrel game in "Angry Aztec" level (with CF = 3 Donkey cannot even reach the first barrel).

4) Tiny's entrance to this temple (I added a screenshot) in "Angry Aztec" level (only a few times).

I'll add more points to the list as I find them proceeding in the game.
About the states you need... I'm sorry Smiff, but, as long as I have problems with my S-L-O-W connection, I won't be able to upload any of them.

[jaffa_sinas]

hey ContraCelsum: i can confirm those things.. although i had some problems with the jungle japes barrel game; i can't pass the 3rd one.. maybe i must use another plugin with my controller.. but the rest is the same.. i've tested them all and yes cf=4 works at these points.

[pj64er]

i dunno if anyone mentioned this before (i read the whoooooole thread though), but Ogy found a way to get Gauntlet Legends to work.

check out this thread (http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3155).

[ContraCelsum]

Hey Jaffa_sinas, have you tried to set CF = 6? This may help you immensely.

[Smiff]

so you're saying theres some point in the game that needs CF6? shit? BTW CF5 doesnt work does it hehe

[Ogy]

ARRRGGHH!!

ever since i tried to make my CD64 256Bit to be 512Bit it started to crumble.

and when i tried it today it Didn't work:(
BUT i didn't give up and after several hours of fighting with the damn thing i kinda fixed it (i'm very stubborn when i want to)

anyway, my results: (about the peech speech:))

Super Mario 64 (U): Yes
Super Mario 64 Shindou Edition (J) : Yes
Super Mario 64 (J): NO



i dunno if anyone mentioned this before (i read the whoooooole thread though), but Ogy found a way to get Gauntlet Legends to work.


well it is a walkaround and not a fix so it isn't really worth doing anything about(what do you expect smiff to do? write all the workaround in the notes?:D)

no i expect smiff to put them in the gameFAQ and use the notes to refer people there. BTW Ogy nice work on Gauntlet Legends, i will get around to that (Zilmar referred me to that actually hehe so he noticed) but in future could you post your breakthroughs in this thread! ;) :)

i see ur point now...but smiff has pretty long notes. look at the ones for MoM:D. maybe he could mention ur workaround in his pj64 subdomain (or whatever he called it). i guess the important thing i wanted is its status changed from "Partial/Intro"
to something better...like "Requires Elaborate Workaround" :)

actually he could just put something like "use Zilmar's CFB at light".

thx smiff, will do that, i'm just always afraid to make a fool out of myself because my system is so rickety so almost anything can happen with it:)

[Smiff]

just uploaded a version that addresses Jet Force Gemini, you should be able to play the whole game properly now, thanks to Paler from Spain

[Smiff]

small point, on front page Martin says RDB makes game fully playable, when what it really does is (hopefully) allow anyone (who follows the instructions) now to fully play the game... LaC and Zilmar take credit there (and Jabo whose never had an issue here he's so gooooood ;)), however I have set the game up correctly for you I think, this all needs testing.

[Remote]

Are you sure that Knife Edge and Razor Freestyle Scooter have non correct text, i.e scrambeld, missing letters... I have played through both games, (U) versions only, and the text is clear and visible at all points. And what is Framebuffer:windows(?) supposed to do in Rally' 99 (J) [!] and Rally Challenge (U) [!]... I can see no visual difference...

[Arcade-Rat]

Hey Blade this is Arcade-Rat, I still can't start my games, help

[EdgeBlade]

I'm sorry, but what is your problem again? With what game and such?

Uhh, small mistake by me there. Forgive me, it was late. :D

Will correct... :)

[alessmz]

just a few problems with all newer rdb's:

- with F-zero in windows mode i get 60 fps, whereas in full screen mode it drop dramatically at 30-35 fps ( 60 fps in full screen with rdb standard)

- forcing transparencies in all games make weird things happen , for example RR4 ( tranparent mountains)

- generally, all games run slower, maybe for compatibility target

- Mario Tennis and RR64: 20 fps in window mode, 60 fps in fullscreen ( 60fps always with standard rdb)

- CBFD freeze at "for mature audiences only" screen

- Sin and Punishment : graphics messed up ( sprites duplicates, like Resident Evil)

I have met many other problems with these rdb's, but i think these are enough to check them out at the moment

At least, DK64 works without cheating from the start, if a tad slower than my customized rdb version.....

p.s. Allnatural has been very handy in solving many problems in the past with this emu, thanks again to him and everyone involved.

my specs are:

Athlon xp 1700, radeon 8500 64mb with latest drivers, win xp prof.

Knife Edge, well you might wanna get a dictionary out ehe (see pic)

I havent touched Fzero, except to change SMCM for J vers to prevent crash.... you are wrong here.



- forcing transparencies in all games make weird things happen , for example RR4 ( tranparent mountains)

You mean Normal Blending, yeah it's meant to do that, thats why its off by default, what's it got to do with the RDB anyway?


- generally, all games run slower, maybe for compatibility target

I don't have any global controls... you are wrong here.


- Mario Tennis and RR64: 20 fps in window mode, 60 fps in fullscreen ( 60fps always with standard rdb)

Again, it's nothing to do with the RDB.. there is nothing I could set that effects fullscreen and not windowed.


- CBFD freeze at "for mature audiences only" screen

Think this is another game that I haven't touched.


- Sin and Punishment : graphics messed up ( sprites duplicates, like Resident Evil)

I've corrected a core loop [smcm], haven't changed graphics.

Basically you've gone and messed up something somewhere in your system... put the original RDB back, see it won't help.

Hey Smiff, I noticed the GameFAQ has a listing for XG2. You mention a workaround for the HUD but forgot to mention what the workaround is.:p

Maybe you were more worried about other things.:)

Anyway, if you don't remember:

LINEAR for the player name to "fix" the HUD (thanks EdgeBlade), and to unlock the game so that all the tracks can be played I found the password: 6D3HXM6F45SQ to work fine.:)

thanks Allnatural, saved me rummaging through old threads... do you know what the 2nd workaround was?

[EdgeBlade]

Gimme a sec and I'll dig up my post

[EdgeBlade]

http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3022

What I did was just list the other cheats and what I thought they did that may help addtionally. But LINEAR and the code to unlock everything is all you really need.

You can't progress through the game with cheats on and LINEAR is considered a cheat

After unlocking the game, at least one can pretend to be "earning" the additional game modes and cars.;)

I founded a graphics issue playing "DK arcade" (the original one, wow!) in "Frantic factory" using Jabo's Direct3D 1.40 plugins. I recommend to use an older plugin version (Jabo's D3D 1.30 is ok)... or Mame instead.

Another graphic issue appears taking a photo of a fairy (at least I think so because the photo is black).

Ok if there is one thing that Piss's me off, Its stupid Punch in Codes.

i don't know what AV means but i get an Opcode error w/f3dex 1.xx. and when i start the game w/f3dex 2.xx i can see the purple border(needs a screen w/ strong lighting)

[Smiff]

AV is my shorthand of Access Violation (God i'm cool). I get one of those, not a UO (Unhandled Opcode). Ur prolly right tho thanks.

yea, i get an AV too, sorry.

[Smiff]

before i do another release id really like some help with these:

Nagano Winter Olympics (thought it worked in v1.3 but cant get it to now, irritating)
GT 64
City Tour GP (is this the same as game above?)
Mario No Photopie (what game is this?)
Space Dynamites (what game is this?)

please

[Allnatural]

Mario no Photopie

I've been doing some research, and I think this may not be a game at all. There were two Mario Artist "games" released in Japan, Paint Studio and Talent Studio, both for the 64DD. The Talent Studio shipped with a special cartridge with ports built in for the capturing of images to use in the "game". I have a sneaking suspicion Mario no Photopie is the rom of this cartridge, assuming it had a rom in it. I figure it's possible the cartridge would play a small piece of music in a loop while flashing a message on the screen telling the user to insert one of the Mario Artist disks into the 64DD.

IGN has reviews here (http://ign64.ign.com/articles/160/160085p1.html) and here (http://ign64.ign.com/articles/151/151908p1.html) for the Mario Artist games, and here is a pic of the cartridge in question.

[64ultramaniac]

Only the japanese version of Nagano Winter Olympics is working and is fully playable with PJ64 1.3.
GT64 loads on PJ64 1.3 but the gfx are really messed up so it's not really nice to look at.

something very strange is going on here smiff...

dave's beta plugin which has Ucode CRC detection claims that Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits Volume 1 and WCW Nitro have the same Ucode CRC... but you have set them to different Microcodes in the rdb...

i would say you made a mistake, BUT PJ64 detects them as different Microcode IDs... any ideas (notice the pun :P)

who else has tried these games?

Nagano Winter Olympics - for me, stalls second or two after starting
GT64 - for me, runs but can't see or hear anything.

i must be doing something dipshit here cos I had Nagano Winter Olympics (J)-only down as working for v1.3 but can't think what

Smiff a guy named CloverHol stopped by in our chan and here is whay he had to say about the rdb after he asked some stuff about that beta cheats file:

[22:07] <CloverHol> Yeah I got the update and it screwed up some of my favorite games
[22:07] <Slougi|Aw> huh?
[22:07] <Slougi|Aw> it shouldn't do that
[22:07] <CloverHol> It did
[22:07] <Slougi|Aw> which games?
[22:08] <Slougi|Aw> and what did it do?
[22:08] <CloverHol> I have WWF No Mercy and it was working fine except for some graphic errors in the menu and when i got the rdb update it wouldnt work at all
[22:08] <CloverHol> It said it was broken
[22:08] <Slougi|Aw> hmm
[22:08] <Gent|Chts> Use 1.30 GFX plugin
[22:08] <Slougi|Aw> well u can always replace it with the old one
[22:09] <CloverHol> It did that with more than just that one but I dont remeber what all it was
[22:09] <Gent|Chts> Well i dont have that problem ?
[22:09] <Slougi|Aw> neither do i
[22:09] <CloverHol> I redowned the 1.4 and got rid of the problem
[22:09] <Slougi|Aw> hmm
[22:09] <Gent|Chts> & i am using the Beta 104 frommthe board
...
[22:10] <Gent|Chts> What are your Specs & Dricvers ?
[22:10] <Gent|Chts> Drivers
...
[22:11] <CloverHol> I have a InVidia GTS 2
[22:12] <Slougi|Aw> hmm a gf2 =/
[22:12] <Slougi|Aw> what driver version?

are you actually using the updated RDB and playing the game from scratch?

[Smiff]

Slougi, the guy clearly doesn't know what he's talking about because I haven't touched that game, also you edited out an important part about status "Broken" - some people think this field actually affects how the game works or doesn't work... there's not much I can do about people who don't read the manual really.

[Slougi]

I will post the whole log when i get home ok? The guy really didn't say much more than that and then left. An AOL user of course lol ;)

[crazycabuco]

the game is on the hdd, and if i use the latest rdb's the probs occur more often...but you can' t really say that it is one or two big probs, they just come and next time they won't. sometimes you can play 4 hours without any trouble, and on other days you can't even complete one single match.

[plexar]

hi all,

Nagano Olympics DOES run under PJ64 v14

Hey all,

Thought I would share a problem with you, maybe you can help:

Mario Party (U), seems to work reasonably fine so far, apart from one mini game that crashes it!!: Mario Bandstand..

For some reason, it crashes as soon as the game is about to start.

I dont think I've put much info in this, so whatever you need to know, just ask!

Hey Smiff great work with the RDB! I was wondering if you could post a log with fixed issues from the beta rdb...or do you plan doing this when its finished?

[entity1]

i have downloaded star wars ep 1 racer twice iam downloading it again now because i wont to play i so screen shots of it working in pj 64 butwhenever i try to open it i either get sever gfx error or unhandled ucode iam sure alot of people has had this problem so coul u plz tell me what to do to get it working.

Also gameshark codes i have one for wwf no mercy a hell in a cell match it has a couple of parts and is nearly 2 page long can you cut and paste or do i need to do it like this

d01805 c000
d01805 c000

and so on smith sorry for disrespect i downloaded a huge file for 35 hours thinking it was max payne and it turned out to be a useless program called max os linux

pj64 rocks now get back to the drawing board and make a playstation 2 emulator just like ultra hle do it for specific games metal gear 2 devil may cry smackdown just bring it and legends of wrestling then make more compatability as you guys go along.

:pj64: :pj64: :pj64: :pj64:

"Turok1 still freezes at certain points." is that correct?

I can't do that, I can't do anything you can't do (probably).

there is a file included that covers most of the changes, but not between beta versions, that would be too tedious.

I've heard that too, but I've played quite a bit of it and have had no problems at all. Go figure.

[MadLy]

Update: Dont worry about my problem.... I've found out now, that that mini-game Mario Bandstand, works in PJ64 v1.3.

[Zaphod]

Actually, this problem with the Mario Bandstand mini-game is deriving from Jabo's 1.4, not PJ 1.4 itself. It works with Jabo's 1.3. So you have the choice of playing the whole game with the famous flickering or have almost compatible gameplay with excellent graphics. Not the best of choices...

[Shadow_z1]

high sys req. (add/remove? suggestions please)
Aerofighters Assault
BattleZone
Beetle Adventure Racing
Duck Dodgers
Goldeneye
Nuclear Strike 64
Perfect Dark
Turok3
World Cup 64
Zool
Please do not remove these for more compatibility, at least not goldeneye, perfect dark and turok 3, they are great games
it would be sad to see them taken out ??? because people with higher requirements ( such as my self ) can run these games perfectly. I have all these for n64 anyway, but i love playing them on pc because the graphics are much better

[Smiff]

"Airboarder 64 (E) [!], Duke Nukem - ZER0 H0UR (E) [!],
Duke Nukem - ZER0 H0UR (F) [!] and
GoldenEye 007 (E) [!] doesnt works in two players."

any of that true?

changes in the rdb cannot "remove" games. even if they did, pj64 would "add" then back when trying to run it. thanks for showing ur "love".

[Allnatural]

Not to mention that Smiff isn't asking if the games themselves should be removed, just the "high sys requirement" note.:P

[Couche]

I have trouble running most of the high system requirements games like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark.

But I can run Turok 3 and Beetle Adventure Racing without any slowdowns or any probs at all. I have a PIII 866 with a 32 meg TNT 2 video card. So hopefully that helps you decide whether or not to remove the high sys req note from the RDB...

[pj64er]

pj64 is just not good at GE, try another emu, like 1964.
PD on the other hand requires extremely high sys req (well, over 1Ghz).

even though the note says high sys req, the requirements vary from game to game. it just tells u what to expect.

[CpU MasteR]

Smiff, Think of Adding Rush 2 (E) (Paradox Intro) to the RDB, it is not there plus, It doesnt work.. :/

[Davemc]

i think maybe you should remove the "high system requirements" on World cup '98 (e) [!]

it runs fine for me

[Slougi]

Well u could post your specs as well ;)

[augias]

Although I'm using the newest rdb, 2 of my roms don't work:

Earthworm Jim 3D (U) [h1] (AGS intro)
Charlie Blast's Territory (U) [h2] (AGS intro)

If I try to run them, I get the following message:

Unhandled R43000i OpCode at: 8020001C
sync

Stoping Emulation

(That's right: "stoping" instead of "Stopping"!)

They "work" on NEMU64, although "work" seems to be too strong a word for Eathworm Jim 3D on Nemu. Charlies BT OK on NEMU.

u should download roms with (U) [!] extentions...u probably downloaded some bad roms, go to www.smiff.clara.net and download a rom tool called goodn64. this will detect whether ur rom is good or bad.

I just had a look at the RDB and apparently JFG should work fine - BUT he can't run or shoot - Is this an RDB problem?

no, it's a problem with the user not reading the FAQ

he's scanned the roms, found they're hacked, and is using them anyway. can't really help with that

[Smiff]

yes for anyone wondering i'm going to work on the RDB some more so if there's anything anyone's discovered do crawl out of the woodwork and say

[ForceCommander]

hm theres a problem with the Bomber Book in Zelda 2. its strangely streched

[Smiff]

any help with these appreciated (i know ive covered some before but still aren't certain)

City-Tour GP
Excitebike
GT 64
Mario No Photopie (may not be a game?)
Mia Hamm Soccer
Nagano Winter Olympics
PD Ultraman Battle Collection 64 (what is this? Public Domain?)
Space Dynamites (I forget, is this JFG or something?)

[ForceCommander]

hm what? ^^

[Ogy]

???you see smiff, this (http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4041) happens to other people as well, i also talked to some people on IRC and it happened to them too. even if it does not happen to you i strongly recommend setting it to 2.(this setting doesn't have a problem with anyone)

[Martin]

Wow, look at this, 100K thread views for this thread only :o

[Davemc]

this is a really useful thread...

this is the thread the made me come here in the first place :)

Except for the level 4 lock-up, and random lock-ups elsewhere.

I was able to recreate this problem by using Azimer's latest plugin, but that's probably not the issue as most people (I believe) are using Jabo's. Sorry Ogy, but this has me totally buggered.???

[Allnatural]

A little experiment for you Ogy. If you have (or can get) Space Station Silicon Valley (E), see if it runs for you. Not just the intro, but into the first level (the intro is quite long). The same person you referenced (http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4041) as having problems with Turok is having identical problems (http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4148) with SSSV, another game that runs fine for me.

god, i only set it to 1 'cos people told me to.

[Ogy]

Firstly i'd like to apologize for the late response.

hmm... I didn't know about those, sorry i guess smiff has two options:

1. set CF to 1 by default and write about the CF 2 story in the PJgameFAQ.
2.set CF to 2 by default and write about the CF 1 story in the PJgameFAQ.


which one of them it'll be, is not for me to decide...

yes, lets see,... vat are ze key elementz in zis experimintation?

vi hav ze rom... in ze emu... viz the video broken... not goot.. i see problem...


ok, enough, lets get serious...
ok, SSV (E) does not work at all with jabo's for me, i don't even get to the intro, unless...... unless he meant the logo intro.. the one with TAKE2 and dmv. and not the game story...(the one that's funny like hell) because the take 2 logo i do get with the (E) .


Originally posted by Smiff

you'll have to decide that one yourself smiff (see above)

[Allnatural]

Ok, now we know it's system related. You (Ogy), and at least one other can't run SSSV or Turok (on CF=1), whereas they both run fine for me.

Now we need to find the common denominator(s) between systems having these problems.
