vista problems.

[mario64rules]

I have just (about 30 mins ago) upgraded to vista ultimate.
When I try to start a game, project64 says:"could not load game".
I have seen project64 running on vista.
I have tested as administator, in compactablity mode, and in both on.

And, on XP, pj64 worked normally.

Try reinstalling it. Thats all I can think of :S

How are you loading a game? Double-clicking an entry in the Rom Browser or File --> Open Rom?

Double-clicing an entry in the rom browser.

Edit: I tried File-open rom-Super Mario 64 and it works!

Uh, so backup Project64's cheats file and whatever cheats you've added.

What form of Ultimate are you using 32 or 64?

Cause 64-Bit drivers are in the prototype stages and will not be perfected for use for a while, therefore your GFX card is gonna be a little bad.

As for why the game could not be loading, did you try installing DirectX End User Runtime? I did, and it works perfectly on my Vista Premium.

Why do it? Because DirectX 9.0 is there, but it's named weird and some applications don't like it.

PJ64 is not 100% compatible with Vista.

1.7 will attempt to fix this.

till then make sure you have installed the DirectX9 webupdate to install the latest MDX libraries

Thats odd, I am using PJ64 on Vista Premium, and I am only having the in-game problems that everyone gets.

I'm using vista business and I'm not having too much trouble with running P64. Only sometimes the video and sound freeze for like 2 seconds. Only the games goes on for those 2 seconds! So this can be quite annoying when in combat. I also have an old xp computer which runs the same version of P64 without any problems. ANYWAY, what I'm traying to say is: Vista (no matter what version) is still in its babyshoes. It'll take some time before it is as reliable as XP

well, I run on wndows vista home premium ans Project64 works like a dream.
But, it way depend on witch version you are using. Ive never tried v 1.7 beta, but i ALWAYS use 1.4,1.5, and 1.6. Check your plugins under settings, then see if your plugins are selected or else they wont run.

My guess here is just bad ROMs.

And I personally haven't had any issues with Project64 1.6 on Vista, other than missing msvcrXX.dll libraries when using N-Rage's input plugin, but I easily downloaded them off Google, who is our friend. :)
