Anyone had lucky with Mega Man?

[audioEFEX]

Has anyone had any luck getting Mega Man 64 to work? I have the ini settings so the graphics generally work, but it always freezes (drops to black screen, as normal, but doesn't continue) just after entering the second part of the forrest. It's a good chunk into the game.

I've grown really fond of this title, having played up until the hang point four or five times...would REALLY like to get it working.


PS - any suggestions as to other emus it might run on are welcome, but pj64 seems to be the only one i can get to work with my sidewinder...


thanks!

i have gotten up to the part where you land on the camalot island but thats it. it didnt freeze i just wanted to play zelda.

Megaman64 is fully playable, as I've tested it myself. It does seem to hang at some certain points, though :plain2:

Make sure to use the "normal" settings. No modified ones! Also, try to check the framebuffer. Under options-->advanced, if it's set to none or emulate clear. Those 2 I know it works with.

Also, 1964 and Daedalus are also two other emulators I know it works with. It's just that in this game, the graphics is sooooooooooooooo bad!! :(

Bah, Ogy! That's for those who have Voodoo's! It won't work on other cards!

[Ogy]

:) get a voodoo then...

[Azimer]

It works on Jabo's plugin. You guys just need to learn how to use it. sheesh. Ogy, press your face closer to Dave's butt next time. And yes... I got lucky with megaman!

[Smiff]

lmao

[Jabo]

lmao too

:thumbsup:

try using "force normal blending" in the advanced sections when you need it, it should solve most of the problems one might have, this info should be in the RDB or the Game FAQ by Smiff, pick em up

it's also worth noting this was one of those games I didn't have a chance to entirely get how I would of liked it, the game itself in my view isn't that great anyway, I think capcom could of done a much better job with such a great system, all they did was port the PSX version which had crappy gfx

[pichufan]

umm.... i don't think it work, my stop working at where you beat the 5th boss(the one you have to attack it's hatch) after the short movie after finish that boss then stop workin...... is there other way to help it? and, the "normal" setting you guys are talking about, can you tell me what do "normal" setting have to be?

I don't think Azimer is jealous, he's quite an experienced programmer and emulation guy

I believe he was referring to the fact Ogy posted that people should start using voodoo cards, than proceeded to post that link, which, considering this is the Project64 forum, I would rather people gave more unbiased opinions, and use facts regarding the software to help users. Outside this forum I don't mind people exaggerating the truth, but that has no place here, or the 1964/Apollo forums, which perhaps is why Azimer got upset.

Well, Like Ogy said, Should Get a Voodoo for it to work, unless the plugin goes OGL but that wont be for some time... :)

[pichufan]

Voodoo is a type of video card made by 3DFX who was bought out by NVidia. These cards are no longer made. You'd probably find a voodoo card @ small computer shops and @ second hand stores :)

that sounds like it could be a core issue, knowing what you mean by it stops working could be helpful, i would export a save state, and as I always recommend, check out 1964 and see what happens, maybe this is an issue we didn't know about ?

[pichufan]

but, I DONT HAVE MONEY! is there any way to make it work that don't need any money???

[pichufan]

jado do you want me to sent you the save state before it stop working? i can sent it to you
but not by e-mail, because it's really slow, do you ahve any messager?

[Jabo]

http://issues.pj64.net/upload/upload_form.html

go there to upload a file, smiff was supposed to add this to the issues page so we could do more file stuff, but i dunno what happened to that ;)

also let us know what kind of hardware you are sporting, if you don't meet the requirements PJ won't look that great on your system regardless of any issues already that exist, although Megaman64 is a rather simple game as i recall ...

[pichufan]

i uploaded it. it's call Mega Man 64 >_< please help me fix it

[pichufan]

jado, i upload the file~~~ please fix it for me~~~~ if you need to sent me something for fixing it, please don't sent it to me by e-mail, because my e-mail is almost full. please upload to somewhere so i can download it!

*i still waiting for somebody to help me fix the megaman64's problem right now!

[Jabo]

Excellent work with getting me the save state, the problem actually unfortunately lies with the RDB, hopefully Smiff is reading this, the Self-mod protection Method should be set to Protected Memory, not what it is currently set to ...

I'm rather sure i have the latest RDB files, so this is something that definitely needs to be fixed. If anyone knows different let me know, it's hard to keep track of it sometimes. Either way I love how everyone jumps the gun and blames graphics for things like this :sleepy:

PS: you can change the self-mod method by loading the rom, going into settings dialog, than going into the Rom Tab, and selecting "Protected Memory" for the self mod method

[pichufan]

so your computer have this problem too? ummm what is RDB mean?

hmmm i find one have error. for zelda: Majora's mask, when i am using my WindowME system IT WILL JUST FROOZE THE COMPUTER right after you open the rom. Only my Window 2000 system can play it.

[pichufan]

o and, how to fix this problem? i want to countine this game SOOOOOOO badly! (lol it's even in my dream! AHHH help me!)

[Ogy]

DO NOT GET A VOODOO i was only joking!

to fix your problem replace the file project64.rdb with this one:

[pichufan]

it didn't fix the problem, i check the "what's new" txt file in there it didn't change anything about megaman64. smiff if you read this can you please, please fix it.......... I AM GETTING CRAZY! THE GAME EVEN SHOW IN MY DREAM!!!AAHHHH

[pichufan]

AHH THAT RDB DIDN'T WORK! IT JUST BROKE MY PJ64!!!!! IT MAKE ME CAN'T PLAY MEGAMAN ANY MORE! PLEASE SMIFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I BEG OF YOU! PLEASE FIX IT~~~~~ AND LET US DOWNLOAD IT!!

[Ogy]

?!?!

[pichufan]

hey ogy is your megaman 64 work after you use that RDB file?

[pichufan]

or anybody, is there any people's megaman 64 ACTUALLY work (not just at start, you must play this game or beat this game)??????? how you make it work? did you download the RDB file and it work? or it just work all the time at start? tell me what all your setting is if your work!

LMAO... It was mean... but it was directed toward Ogy. Sure, Glide64 is a nice plugin and works ok. In the context of the message it was very out of line. First, the original poster asked for help with the game freezing at a certain spot, a NONGRAPHICAL ERROR. Ogy referred people offtopic to a thread which basically calling Jabo's DLL bad and praising Glide64. I refrained from replying to that thread because I didn't see the need in telling him to stop telling lies. Jabo's DLL works with Megaman and it looks fine. That is what upset me. I respect Dave and his work... but I won't let lies be said about possibly the best friend I have ever made in my 8-9 years of being on the internet. Definately my favorite person in emulation. Your jealous comment was also out of line. If my dll did everything Dave's did... would it be as praised? No. Why? Because then I would be named icepir8 and everyone would be ignoring my kickass OpenGL plugin. Forgot about that little gem? I sure the hell haven't.

I agree to this 100%. It's a shame really :(

First of all, NO ROM REQUESTS!
Secondly, use goodn64 to check your rom. Maybe we'd want to know if it's a good rom. Maybe that's the problem.
Thirdly, we're not sure why, but, ME seems to not like pj :(
And fourthly, don't flood trying to get an answer. One post is enough.

And you wished to know: yes, I have completed this game.

[Azimer]

ok... sounds good. Locking thread to prevent any flames or whatnot. Thanks for playing!

[Slougi]

Err... wasn't locked Azi so I relocked it. I hope this is what u meant to do.....
