donkey kong 64 !??

[jaffa_sinas]

First of all; thank god dk64 is finally working :D ..
I've downloaded the new RDB from smiff and dk64 is finally working quite good..
The game runs smoothly but in some places in the game it goes too fast!!! Like when you launch Dk in the barrels it goes 2 fast.. At another place it launches Dk but Dk falls back without entering the barrel. :cry:
how can i solve this??? fisrt of all can this be solved??
becuz if you don't do the "Dk barrel" levels u can't unlock the Lama! (level 2!??) So can somebody plz help me??

[Ogy]

did you apply the speed limiter ? (F4)

[jaffa_sinas]

yep.. already tried that.. still to fast ???

[Ogy]

hmm... can't help you there..
maybe you should switch to interpreter for that part.

[jaffa_sinas]

yep treid that 2.. tried interpreter and recompiler... but it's still the same :plain:

[jaffa_sinas]

for every1 who reply's thnx.. but i can't read now cuz i got to sleep.. late here in europe.. thnx anyway

[Ogy]

lol, hell yea late here too 00:15 to be exact.

i'm gonna catch a few Z's myself if nobody will solve this by tomorrow i think i have an idea..

[jaffa_sinas]

hey ogy?? got something yet?? :)

[jaffa_sinas]

seems to me that i'm the only one replying to myself :D
well. i've been reading al those other threads and there were 2 other threads with the same problem discussed.. not solved..
so can someone plz help me here??????

i can't resume the game cuz i need to free lanky ???

[FireBone]

sorry i don't know.

[dolarsrg]

That problem cannot still be solved. The only well-known way is to use the Recompiler, but sincerely, that does not work either .???

[Ogy]

hi again,
if speed is your problem, just set copy dlist/buffers.
if it is still too fast use Reference Rasterizer (there is no way THAT would go fast even if you have an itanium 4000Mhz, not to mention a crappy athlon1.2Ghz)


EDIT:
BTW any reason you're name is called after a city in israel?

[jaffa_sinas]

:D no jaffa_sinas just name of drink in Curacao...
well thnx i'm gonna try your advice :pj64:

here is my save state level 2 baRrel blast mini game

[mantis]

oh the hell! Can anyone tell me how to upload a 2.4 meg file to this site?. anyway, here is some medicine:
"I wrote last week that the major problem with donkey kong 64 u.s. is the unplayable barrel-blast mini game on the stage angry aztec.The consequence of this is that the player cannot free the character Lanky Kong in the game( according to the walkthrough made by Flowerpot on gamefaqs.com) .I managed to solve the problem with a cheat imported from 1964 cheat database.
Enter the gameshark code 8074E77C-0002 .You will not immediately turn to be Lanky Kong ,first you have to walk through the main blue gate of any level or do something familiar.After changing don’t forget to turn off the cheat code"

you can't, either upload it to a free web site, or upload a native n64 save(don't know if it will work though, cause i never played it and therefor i do not understand the situation)

[mantis]

I think that's too difficult for me, but I will try to send Angry aztec save state for anyone who can handle it.Make sure your mail folder has enough space.
A note: On level 3 the working-nonworking of the barrel mini game depends on the counter factor, only cf3 works

You could upload the save to Smiff's FTP:

pj-ts.dynip.com guest/guest

I'm interested in what you said about the Barrel mini-game and its relation to the cf. Are you suggesting that you have managed to work through it without cheats?

[mantis]

I wouldn't write so many posts if i had solved the problem. So far only the Level 3. barrel-blast mini game worked with the cf trick. This is not a major breakthrough as the following arcade-mini game( donkey kong 1983) is full with graphical bugs - unplayable.

Remember Banjoo kazzoie emulated under ULtrahle?The spiral mountain bridge was broken; some guys fixed it with a cheat. Banjoo tooiee Jet force Gemini also have its dirty little tricks.For example in Dk64 the memory card saving is buggy
We neeed some guy who could make a cheat to deal with the problem,to Break the copy protetion.
Are there any cheatmakers out there??????

[Smiff]

i can't follow what's up with DK64, and don't care that much, I'll probably just class it as "Only intro/part OK".

Why you don't care? ???They're talking about a serious bug that can't let you continue the game making it unplayable!

[jaffa_sinas]

yeah yoshi your totally right.. hey smiff i will explain it:
dk64 works good, intro , world1 and the first level.. the only problem you have is that gfx thingy; where the polygons stick out of the characters.. (that's not a big thing though)
but the second problem makes the game unplayeble..
in the first level (forest) you must play a barrel game to earn a 'golden banana'. u must shoot from one barrel to another (ever played dk on gameboy or so; well it's the same, just in 3d)
when u shoot u must aim at the right angle cuz otherwise u fall back.. well no mather at what angle u shoot u cant fall into the next barrel ??? but that's not that so f*cked up cuz u can apply a cheat to get the banana (it's the last one u need).. but in the second level, angry aztek u must do the same to free a llama and when the llama is freed u can free another character in the game : Lanky.. But to free the llama dk needs to play another barrel game to get the key.. well in this game he doesn't even get in the barrel; he shoots up and falls back again.. he never enters the barrel :cry:
well there's the option (like mantis posted) that u can free lanky with the cheat.. but u still can't get into a piece of the level (the llama's house) cuz it's not opened.. :(
in the third level level another barrel game works.. but then the dk arcade does not work.. u need to play the arcade (it's the original first dk!!) but u can't see sh*t!
so a piec of the game still remains unplayeble..
it's like playing zelda (oot or mm) but u can't get like the golden gountlets or somnething like that.. u can still beat a boss (with a cheat) but u will never complete the game becuz u missed a piece......
hey smiff i don't blame u for not wanna look at it cuz some other games i don't like or just don't givva f*ck about them
but somebody else then?? can they plz take a look

[Allnatural]

You guys imply that Smiff hasn't checked into the problem. I'm sure he has, and I have too. There doesn't seem to be a fix, and I tried everything at my disposal.

Big deal I say, I'd rather play the SNES DKC games anyway.

[Yoshi]

The only fix are the gameshark codes, I suppose.

[jaffa_sinas]

yeah i know about those cheats but that's not a real fix.. i mean it's something with the emu.. it's not a bad dump cuz i have all the versions and all have the same problem.. it's not gfx problem or so.. it's like a big bug in the game.. and one of the roms is the dump of my cartridge (ntsc) and it still doesn't work

[Allnatural]

Short answer--Just live with it.

Long answer--The source code is available, try to fix the problem yourself.

Eh?:colgate:

[Yoshi]

Yeah, that suks DK 64 run greatly on my pentium 3 500 (even if runnin at 40-50 vi/s the sound don't skip)

[jaffa_sinas]

k first answer sux... 2nd answer i would if i knew how ...

[mantis]

Maybe not the emulator is to blame for the barrel mini game issue .the bug is possibly
in the rom as a few weeks ago 1964 users also reported the same
problem. I heard rumors about in the 90`s Hong-kong pirate companies
whose dumped and burned snes sega n64 etc roms .THe original cartridge may
have a hardware copy protection and thats causes all
problems.Therefore some cheat would be useful to replace the code.

[Nick_kidid0]

I got the "PJ64RDB_v1.4.02" from www.smiff.clara.net .. but Dk64 isnt supported, where can i get the new one? someone paste it here plz.

[jaffa_sinas]

but then why is dk64 the only game with 'this copy protection thing'?? i mean dk64 wasn't even as big a game as one of the zelda's.. it must be an emu problem.. becuz in some parts of the game, the game goes too fast! and it's not the fps. even if u slow it down it still f*cks up

[Doomulation]

Have you guys ever heard of NRage's plugin?
It can change the sensitivity of the controller so that you actually can complete the mini-games in DK.

Jet Force Gemini and Banjo Tooie also have copy protection (boy, RARE sure loves this stuff!). u ppl do know the frame buffer emulation fix for dk 64 now right?

[mantis]

Doomulation, have you tried this "controller plugin trick" in the reality? If haven't, may I offer you a save state?(I wont be able to test it until weekend)
Thanks

Err... no, I haven't tested this since I don't seem to be able to get anywhere on the game. Can't seem to find my way in the beginning. I'm pretty sure it'll work. 'Cuz that has helped me on other games.

[mantis]

In my opinion the main problem is the collision or distance rather than the speed .If you try the 3. level barrel mini game with counter factor set to 2 donkey will not even reach the next barrel. WHen set to cf3 the distances precise.
