I visited apollo's site ( prettty coool!) scooping around and saw compatibility for v0.02.
Just wondering what percentage will it be now (30%? , 50% , 75%,...er....er....100% ?:)

[Azimer]

Probably on par with PJ64/1964

Only if you have a GHz machine tho, not a MHz one...





Sorry, couldn't resist :blush:

Lol, Redah, but true :P
1 GHz or more.

[Azimer]

Hrm... perhaps I shouldn't release v0.10. I should make it always require a Ghz machine!!! :)

I look foward to my copy with Glee :)

[Davemc]

i have a mhz machine :(

1000mhz :(

lol

[Slougi]

dammit
I need a new PSU so i can overclock again :P

[3rdLife]

i have a ghz machine.. 0.566ghz :D

Lol, right, we all got a GHz machine in some way! :D
And that's THz.

[Renegade]

hmm, let's see, i have got a 1 THz machine.
Look, no joke. seriously.

I just needed to borrow the liquid nitrogen cooler from the life sciences lab and slowly lower my CPU into it.

Then I added a second layer of liquid nitrogen.

Followed by a third layer of Ice Cubes with salt.

And then a fourth layer of Icy water.

All wrapped up in 3 inches of styrofoam, covered in five denim jackets.


And when I ran it, it worked. However, things did not run very well...Windows 98 gave me a Kernel32.dll error everytime I started up Windows, the sound screwed up every way, and I resistor burnt itself out (i smelt the smoke!).

soon, the CPU burned out. That was when I attempted to run Unreal Tournament...

ahem... you had a 1THz machine...

[Azimer]

Sounds like a good catch phrase...

"Apollo... First emulator to require Ghz machine!"

[Crazed376]

Strange. I have an AMD Thunderbird 750mhz, and Apollo works fine. Maybe you need an Intel 1 ghz to run it. ;)

Anyways, keep up the good work Azimer.

[Malcolm]

yea, intel sux for almost everything in the benchmark tests, but in like 3 tests AMD chips fall in the stats, they really fall...

Would you mind to tell what?

[Dominator]

I am sorry to bring on such a fact but on my computer, PJ64 is not any faster than Apollo (K6-500 Mhz - TNT 2 - Dual V2 - 192 Megs).

Also, Apollo is certainly the ost "PNP" n64 emulator. No ini, db like module .. All you gotta configure is plugins related and default setting oftenly work fine to me.

[sirss]

whats the odds fer gauntlet ledgends every working Azimer ? would look great. project64 came close can run around the tower not as much fun as acully playing it thow lol . would look as good as dreamcast version on the pc if youll ever fix it :)

u could get past the tower, gotoOlax's Site (http://olax.emulation64.com/) to find out how. (results may vary)

[sirss]

thanks i tryed it useing that save cant get that trick to work i must confess i allready heard about that but still cant get it ta work but wizerd dude in that save looks cool couldnt get it it exit tryed saveing and change plugin trick but anyway atleast the screen in centerd now in gauntlet just black at bottom where says level and powerup stuff and about 20 fpt mostly speed doesnt blink as much as did before sound slow and garbled alittle still someone might fix guantlet legend perefect someday all can do is wait couldnt get sound with apollo useing project64 plug ins . anyway thanks fer help , o the 1964 save wouldnt ever stop downloadeing that save fer gauntlet .

sorry for replying so late.
here is a link

http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/02q1/020107/p42200-11.html

from that link on you can see how the Athlon XP chips beats the "holy shit" out of the Intel Pentium4

AMD loses on: SiSoft Memory Bench (big time) and NewTech Lightwave 7b. Thats 2 of the 19 other catagories

If you look at the pages and are noticing that the Intel chip is always at the top also notice the MHz on the chips themselves. It's a 2200 MHz Intel chip against a 1666 MHz chip, a 534MHz difference. (thats over half a GHz ya'know!)


I :inlove: AMD :thumbsup:

Only time can tell... I would love to see it since I own the game. It seems I own the hard to emulate roms :-)

[Raging Fuel]

I have P3 550 MHz and Apollo runs fine for certainly. Most games it is as fast as (if not faster) than PJ and 19.

[Tesla-Guy]

errrr?! then why do i get 30fps in mario?

[Slougi]

Try some more complicated game, like Zelda or something, and different cf settings.

This is truly facinating! A 500 MHz diffrence and AMD still beats Intel at stuff.
Just imagine how good the new AMD processors will become :satisfied

[The Khan Artist]

OK, back on topic... what about Indiana Jones? I've got the PC vers and was wondering how well they were able to pack a 1 gig game into 64 megs...

[Renegade]

i quote the captain of the Titanic's answer to the question on whether the boilers will be damaged along the way:
"as if they fucking will."

Is there only one variant of this game? I have messed with it and found where it froze in Apollo. By adding some hacks, I got it to run. I removed the hacks, because I know I need a compatible graphics plugin to use this rom. I don't remember what the title is called that I tried. Same thing goes for many unemulateds. I have gotten them running, but it doesn't seem like there is a compatible gfx dll capable of displaying graphics. Perhaps if you told me the title name, I could confirm if it "works". I would have to do furthur rom hacking to make it completely playable.

[The Khan Artist]

64 megs? My bad. That was supposed to be 32... The only dump I know of is Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (U) [!].

And maybe if you release your patches, Dave and icepir8 and other people can start working on the gfx...

[Azimer]

hehe.... the patches are QUITE volatile and timing sensitive. It is not worth releasing those patches... but rather get the rom to work without patches and share this information with other emulator authors.

[Epic64]

You are a very generous man Azi and we thank you for that.:apollo:

[FireBone]

when comes a new audio plugin from you?

[pj64er]

lol, FireBone, dont ask an author when something comes out or ask to beta test it.

[FireBone]

yeah, i like to be a beta tester, if i can be....

[pj64er]

lol, u dont understand english very well.

1 DO NOT ask to be beta tester

2 DO NOT ask for the next release

[FireBone]

ups, sorry my english is not the best.....

[pj64er]

its ok, im worse at your language

So true .. sometimes the UltraHLe code looks likes a huge patches database. This is both volatile and certainly not the best way to easily reach a high and reliable compatibility level.

[RatTrap]

hey.. if it works why not use it :D..

[Dominator]

Well, coz it's an open gate for further bugs discovery so what you get on the one side (you get fast results) you lose it on the other (time wasted hunting and fixing further bugs troubles).

[RatTrap]

yes but you don't get finished.. imagine if you made shle work with every n64 game ever made one day.. and there was no code to fix?.. nothing to update.. nothing to do?.. it would lead you to the end :(.. the end is no fun..

[Azimer]

I desire an end :) And I can only be successful with Rattums by my side and Dominat0r with counsel. That is the real dream team hehehe ;)

[RatTrap]

hehe.. only problem is you guys make me feel cheap :/.. i'm just a big ol bag of luckyness or sumthing to you :(.. buhuuu.. i feel used..

but really.. you do desire an end?.. hmmm what would you do?.. i mean if apollo was "finished" (i know that sounds weird).. but what if?.. to me it would be like if i had made all the websites on the internet or something like that.. not one possible website to make ever again.. it would kinda be like commiting proffesional suacide(sorry if i killed that word) or something like that..

Ok, I got a lot of imagination, but this, THIS is hard to imagine.
And by the way .. you're no cheap bag. No need to argue, you know the whole stuff already ;)

:blush:
/me hugs Azimer ...

[flow``]

/feels left out..

no more late night lovin for you!

[Azimer]

You shouldn't feel used... You are our good luck charm and we depend on you :( With you being away for so much, my progress has been almost nothing. I need you back :( You mean much to Apollo.

With programming, there are always new projects. Apollo is not a professional project by any means. Professionals get paid for their work ;) Once Apollo is done, I will move on to bigger and better things, just as you move on to other websites. There is no difference.

:apollo:

[RatTrap]

awwww.. so much lub :D.. welp as i see it.. i like being a perfectionist honestly.. but at the same time i feel that once a website is working good enugh.. i have to move on to the next one because the time i'll use in perfecting something might not even be apreciated by anyone.. and i could actually be making a new website instead of using the time i have on perfectioning something that nobody would care about.. know what i mean?..

i was being abit extreeme b4.. but this is more on the lines of what i meant.. imagine being so ready with shle or apollo that you guys won't feel like there's a need to actually put more time into it?.. would'nt that be kinda boring?.. i know it gets boring for me when a website is so finished that it can be released.. even though i could do so much more on it.. nobody would care.. other than me of course.. but i too would care more if i started up something new eather way.. hmmm maybe this makes no sense hehe..

[Dominator]

It makes sense to me ... But I'd definitly LOVE getting a couple more .gif from you :innocent:

[RatTrap]

<- put hits question mark face on.. que?..

[Dominator]

/me points at the missing images in the tools, plugins sections ;)
/me starts writing a list and send it to Santa Klaus RatTrap.

[CyDEtrakD]

ayo,
when its is in that state that n64 is perfect it will be time to emulate the gamecube...

one,
cydetrakd

[RatTrap]

lol.. oooooh.. those :D..
<- acts all confused..

[Dominator]

Well, I have been leading us a bit off topic I guess

[Quvack]

:cry: :o sniff sniff



ooo look at the purdy bunny

:bunny: :bunny: :bunny:

[Dominator]

Purdy bunny or insane Winnie? ;)

[Quvack]

Just an insane Q i think ;)

Has anyone heard of an Petahertz PC?

Or an Exahertz PC?
