Can't play any games

[Austio888888]

I just downloaded PJ64v1.6, GoodN64, and like 5 different zelda roms and when I open any of the roms on PJ64 it says (Attempt to open zip file failed. Missing or corrupt file - check path and file. You may need to restart the application.) Please Help:homestar::(

[Agozer]

Put the roms in the Roms folder (either zipped or unzipped, although you should try unzipped first), open Project64, press F5 to refresh the rom browser window. The available games should now be visible on the list.

Don't use File --> Open Rom.

[Austio888888]

I can already see the links to the roms I'm saying when I click on the links to the roms the PJ64 screen will go black for 2 seconds then it will say the message.

[Austio888888]

I just found out that my roms are .7z files does that effect anything?

[CF2]

Yeah, you need to extract them with 7-Zip. PJ64 can only open zip files, not 7-zip files.

[Austio888888]

Is there a way I can convert the roms into .zip files?

[Trotterwatch]

Use 7zip and extract them.

[Austio888888]

YES it's finally working. (infinite thank yous)

[Austio888888]

Just one more thing (sorry) after extracting the rom I got a lot of icons on my desktop and I can play all of them, but when I play any of them the game has a bunch of problems like the fairies are both white, I can't see through the starry lights shining on skull kid, and some of the masks look different than they should look. Are those things supposed to happen or are they regular?

[Agozer]

What are your computer specs, and most importantly, your video card?

[Austio888888]

Um... what are both of those and how can I find out what they are.

[axcc123]

run DxDiag and click video

[Austio888888]

what are both of those and how can I find out what they are.

[Austio888888]

(sorry I posted 2 of the same thing) What is DxDiag?

[Agozer]

(sorry I posted 2 of the same thing) What is DxDiag?
Click on Start --> Run, type dxdiag and press Enter. The DirectX Diagnostics Tool will start. The System tab will tell you your computer specs, and the Display tab has info about your video card.

[Austio888888]

Okay now then for the video card total memory is 64.0 MB the version is 6.14.0010.0194 the DDI Version is 9 (or higher) and the Chip type is VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP. For the computer specs it has a AMD Athlon(tx) XP 3100+, MMX, ~2.2GHz

[Clements]

VIA graphics explains all the issues you are seeing. You wouldn't have those problems with an ATI or NVIDIA graphics card. You may see improvements by updating your graphics driver. If you still get issues with the latest driver, use Jabo's D3D6 1.5.2 instead. If still no dice, then buy a graphics card.

[Austio888888]

can I download Jabo's D3D6 1.5.2 or do I have to buy it?

[axcc123]

you can buy a graphics card anywhere the plugin is in with the emu

[Austio888888]

What kinds of graphics cards are good enough?

[Clements]

A Geforce FX 5200 and up, or Radeon 9500 and up are recommended for full use of all the major plugins inc. Jabo's D3D8. You could probably get hold of a GeForce 6200 for a low price that will handle pretty much every quality setting. You need to find out if you have an AGP slot before buying anything, if not you may have to get a PCI version of the card (if available).

For your information, you don't have to pay with a creditcard. I did my payment with an easy banktransfer to my Paypal account and sent the donation money to the email address I got from zilmar. Easy, and safe.

the old fashion way is the best

[ShadowFX]

I suggest you stop this foolishness, and start donating if you're really interested in the Beta program. Support the developers =]

I'm not going to go in-depth on how you can pay with Paypal, there are enough help sections on their official site. If I can do it, virtually everyone can.

[DudewheremyCar]

you have to give your
bank details dude im not Riskin it
leaks happen
the old fashion way or for get it

[squall_leonhart]

^ someone ban this idiot,

anyway, please to anyone who reads this, do not get the leaked version,
it is not supported in anyway, and and is missing a few files, ie, the core,

the idiot above is an example of why the team don't allow everyone access to the beta.

i myself have looked at it, as i downloaded it to check if it was the cracked version, (i was talking to zilmar at the time),

the leaked build is very unstable, as i found out, possibly due to the removal of the protection, or due to the fact it is a beta, some errors refer to source files, others strange numbers.

i have since removed said beta (more like an alpha at that state....) and will donate to the team to get the latest build, as i also said to zilmar. anyway, Jabo, Zilmar, keep up the good work, i hope to donate in the near future and get the official beta.

ps, i do not condone, people going and downloading it to try it, i just wish to let people know, that it is not supported, and has a great plenty bugs.

So be it.

Enjoy your beta. If you need help, ask the wankers that provided it.
