Perfect Dark Freezes

Hello,

I have a Twinhead Durabook 14k AMD Turion based laptop with S3 unichrome graphics. When I boot into XP Pro and play Perfect Dark in 1964 the game will freeze either at random points in game play or when navigating through the main menu or the menu that comes up during the game when you press START.

I've tried the various graphics plugins that I copied from a Project64 install.

I'm using the monster N64 and PS adapter from lik-sang. I haven't tried playing in Project64 as I haven't got the controller working in that yet.

Does anyone know how to resolve the freezing issue?
regards,

Chris

I did actually manage to get my controller working with Project64 and found it still froze on that. I also tried a different ROM and I had the same issue. When it freezes on game menus actually freezes the whole PC and I have to switch it off. When it freezes during gameplay I can just stop the emulator and start the game again.

Please let me know if there are any solutions.

thanks,

Chris

I've just been playing it on desktop machine with a Asus P4R800-VM with integrated Integrated Radeon 9100 IGP graphics. Works well on Jabo's Direct3d 6 1.5.2 but the Rice Daelaous 5.2.0 has severe graphical quirks. On this setup it did not freeze. Maybe it's something specific to the Durabook hardware or perhaps even the way I calibrated my directional axis because I think down took me slightly diaginal. I know that shouldn't cause it to freeze but the problem was most evident on menus and that's where it also froze the most.

I wasn't able to see properly with the spycam but managed to photograph the isotape after much blind fumbleing.

Now where the hell is Dr Carrington in the "Carrington villa" and how the hell did he get rich enough to afford a vila that size?

Chris

PS I also tried it on Project64 but it was way to slow. 1964 was just the right speed.
