PJ64 1.6 Mario Kart freezing

[fathashome]

I am having a problem with Mario Kart that every time someone gets smashed the game freezes and I have to exit. Never had a problem with 1.5. Anyone have any clues or experienced the same thing? :plain:

P4 3.2 Ghz, 1 Gb RAM, ATI AIW 9700 Pro, Asus P4P800 delux mobo

I havent changed much from the default settings for this emulator, only the resolution and some high textures setting.

My pc specs are as followed:

Pentium 4 2,8GHZ 800 FSB
1 GB DDR Ram
Ati X800XL 256 MB GDDR3 (catalyst 5.6 drivers)
Windows XP Pro (with DirectX 9.0C)

I use a good dump from this game, i already checked that with GoodN64.

I hope someone can help.

Thx in advance.

fathashome,
have you verified your rom? same problem if you use v1.5.2 video plugin?

EvilTwin,
known issue with v1.6 video plugin, suggest you use v1.5.2 if it bothers you.

[fathashome]

Yeah, I seem to have the problem with either plugin. I have recently tried reinstalling the video drivers, VIA drivers, and just about any other driver I can think of. Still having the problem.

I have verified my rom as well.

I noticed too the THOWMP's in the game change color. I think it's funny. they change color every time I pass by. I noticed this. On the first track, Luigi's Raceway, the monitor over the tunnel show static. A downer but then again does not affect gameplay! Other than that, IT ROCKS!
