Glide64 and eVoodoo wrapper

[Van Halen Man]

I asked about Problems with ocarina of time, and I was told about having Glide64 with an eVoodoo wrapper. Since I am really clueless in this subject, can someone give me some help with this? The problem I was having was color problems the messages wouldn't show up. And just the color was off. He told me Glide64 and eVoodoo wrapper would help with an older system, which is exactly what I have. So some one PLEASE help me. I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

We can't help until we know your system specifications. I believe this has been the answer in most of your threads.

try this one out (newest glide64 + wrapper supporting hwfb emulation)
it is the newest release

he got a 3dfx woodoo video card humm its old i have never tryed it but i think it was the first video card for n64 emulation long time ago(at the time of hle i think)

[FloW3184]

then he should try UltraHLE, if his machine is so slow

Hacktarux's wrapper requires a card supporting at least OpenGL 1.5 in hardware, so he'll need to use eVoodoo instead. The latest Glide64 plugin is linked above though.

As for eVoodoo, the file is in the download section, and you put both the wrapper files in the main emulator folder. Put Glide64.dll in the plugins folder and select it from the settings. Use eVoodoo 3.25 or above since they work better.

WHAT THE HECK!? Every time I download the wrapper it, and try ro unzip it, it says it is an invalid zip central archive. Then it says please try to obtaine a new copy of it. WHY DOES IT KEEP DOING THIS!? I downloaded it atleast 5 times, and I have Dial-up.

[Van Halen Man]

Ok well I have at least successfully downloaded and unzipped the src, but could someone tell me what the heck all this stuff is!?

[Clements]

I assume from your post your downloaded the src archive from the Emuxhaven. src is the source code, which is useless to you, as I also assume you have no knowledge about compiling.

It is also not the correct wrapper. Unless you have a Radeon 9500 or GeForceFX 5200 and above, it will most likely not work - and in your other post you stated that Link had a white tunic, which only happens with below spec cards. This is why stating what your system specs are is very important, as I must make many educated guesses as to what the problem is rather than a proper diagnosis.

Download eVoodoo from here:

Follow my directions in post #6 in this thread.

Ok so I downloaded evoodoo-3.25 and that gave me GLIDE3X.dll. So I put this in the plugin folder?So what goes in the main folder?

I'm very sorry if I am being a hastle.

[Clements]

Glide3x.dll is the wrapper file itself (not a plugin), and goes in the main folder. eControl.exe is used to configure the wrapper. This also goes in the main folder.

Glide64.dll is a video plugin, and so goes in the plugins folder.

-woops I didn't mean to send for the 3rd time, its just that I have the SLOWEST INTERNET CONNECTION ON EARTH, I am having a hard time downloading these things the downloads keep stopping on me and so does page laoding so I keep having to reload it until it works.

But is the glide64 in the link that you provided?

[Van Halen Man]

Oh yeah and what I can tell of my computer specs:

os: Windows 2000 professional
cpu: Intel celeron @977.7 MHz
graphics card:VIA Tech VT8361/VT8601 graphics controller ~ total memory8.0 MB
memory: 120 MB RAM
sound card: advance AC97 audio

this is all that I know to put on here. Is there anything else?

[dazey238]

With that spec, you *might* actually be OK using Jabo's Direct3d 1.5.2 plugin but you'd have to increase the size of your shared Video memory in your computer BIOS.

I have a feeling that you're not going to understand what I just wrote though :-)

For Glide64 you need to put the downloaded files in the C:\Program Files\1964\Plugins folder (assuming you installed to the default location). Then select the plugin from within 1964 as your graphics plugin and you should be up and running!

Just to let you know right now, Zelda doesn't work too great with the eVoodoo/Glide64 combo - well it doesn't on my Intel 815 Integrated Graphics anyway.

What is the glide64 actually called after extracting it from the zip file? Clements gave a link on page 1 to page of a bunch of downloads, I think its the first link on reply #9. Is it on that page and if so what is it called?Oh yeah and when I change the plugin at the bottom of the menu there are two check boxes, one says display default plug-in settings and the other says display rom plug-in settings do I want Glide64 to be on the rom plug-in settings?

I answered this in post #11

The threads labeled 'eVoodoo'

Display Default plugin settings.

i have the same problem but he just doesnt move instead


all you need is 16MB to share the love

[Van Halen Man]

Ok first I don't really know what your talking about. And how do I change what ever it is that you are talking about to 16MB??

[Van Halen Man]

Ok I got selecte Glide64 as the graphics plug-in, but it slowed WAY down WHY?!:(

Ok now it keeps saying that 1964 has generated errors. WHY DOES IT KEEP DOING THIS?!?!?!?!

[Clements]

Probably due to the fact that with Glide64, you are now emulating both a Voodoo card, and the N64, so it is going to be slower. This should in theory give you less graphical problems however, at the cost of some speed. With your system, there is no real magic bullet that is going to make it all work perfectly. If you want good speed, use Jabo's D3D6 1.5.2 - but all your graphics will probably be messed up.

Now that you have posted your full specs, the root of the problem is now clear. You have an integrated VIA graphics chip, which is very poor for N64 emulation. Your Celeron is not particularly good, but it is not a complete show stopper. If it was coupled with a decent enough video card, more games would work properly.

[Van Halen Man]

Ok , but it keeps saying 1964 has genterate errors why?!?!?


-And out of curiosity,whos picture is that, Clements?(your avatar)

Oh yeah and how much might a decent video card cost?

[tailslol]

hum i think new video card wont work with these spec... no pcie (lol) no agp X8 or X4 maybe i hope it has an agp X2 port or youll need a pci card... it will be hard to find i think the sharing ram is the cheapest solution you need to share more memory for the video in the bios if your pc can or you should hunt for a realy old video card or final solution: buy a new pc
hum a old ati rage or geforce mx with 16 to 32 mo (if lucky 64mo) can resolve the prob

[Van Halen Man]

I will look into that, thanks.

If you wanted to try that wrapper rename it to rar (and of course open it with WinRar).

[Van Halen Man]

Well I don't need the wrapper any more, but I will keep this in mind. Thanks.
