Cant run Zelda: MM ...

[Hickop]

I'm trying to launch Zelda: MM with Project 64 v1.4 but the rom doesnt want to launch after loading. Whats the problem ?
I'm using the european version of the rom.
My configuration is:
Athlon XP 1600
ATI Radeon 8500
256 Ram
Windows XP

Plz help, i really want to play this game.

[Hickop]

Give me just the options configuration u have set to run this game if u have no more idea ...

[h-e-l-l-o]

what is the name of the rom?

[Hickop]

The name is: tc-zelmm.rom
and the size: 32 Mo
The game work with the NEMU emulator but with many graphic bugs.

[Hickop]

I tried this two roms:
Legend of Zelda 2, The - Majora's Mask (E) (M4) [!]
Legend of Zelda 2, The - Majora's Mask (U) [!]
I scan them to verify if they're good and they are.
I have installed last drivers of my graphic card.
So i have to think the problem is due to projetc64 incompatibility with my system.
If someone have the same problem and have solved it, tell me...

Stop to search a solution for me, i find how to make the game working !!! yea !!! I just start it with RGB emulation and when the game is launched i turn back to direct 3D mode so the game work ;) Finally i can play this really good game ...

Hmm sounds interesting, might be a fix for the radeon cards?

[RadeonUser]

Hrm... That is very perculiar... Tell me, what drivers are you using right now? I actually think this might be an Athlon XP / Radeon 8500 problem as i've yet to have problems on a P4 / Radeon 8500 rig...

Nice to hear you got the game working Hickop :colgate: but... That simply shouldn't be happening :/ The game should simply boot up normally.

[Slougi]

Crap radeon drivers ;P
But you're right, via chipsets kinda blow.

[RadeonUser]

Yep, it seems to point to the Radeon's drivers, I just did a quick search on the net. What you want to do is go to ATI's website www.ati.com and download the Alternate driver for your Radeon card. This might fix up your problems.

"Alternate driver" wtf kind of outfit is ATI. Alternate driver. sheesh. Phone them up and tell them youd like just one driver that works please.

if only that would work, ATI has the crappiest support and driver support..

I would love to get a geforce but ATI has teh best mobility card. so i am stuck with it..

Smiff... That's a nice way of naming it a BETA driver... That's it.

[SiC] Actually, support is pretty good. Jabo got them to add Addsmooth to caps... Without that, the Radeon wouldn't be as good looking as it is in games like Zelda OoT and Zelda MoM.

don't understand what your talking about... because i can download the radeon 7500 drivers from ati and just add one line to the ini and they will install and run fine for mobility..

so no, I am not screwed.
thanks for that info though.

Strange, they seem to have changed it then... I know for a fact on the older mobility rages you could not update the drivers... Oh well, time to edit post, lol. Thanks for the update.
