Great to see you working on Banjo-Tooie Azimer - I was just wondering why this game is so hard to emulate???
What progress are you making?

It's got some very nasty copy protection that needs to be worked around/emulated for the game to function. If you remember Banjo Kazooie on UltraHLE, without an updated INI Banjo was small. That was also due to copy protection.

Yup... special chip. I don't understand it completely yet. This may very well be one of the last things I get done.

Finally got it to work under Apollo. Thanks to icepir8 for the heads up on the "water/cliff" hang.

I've fixed Banjo Tooie so it now works under Apollo. Thanks to icepir8 for the heads up on a what I was missing (and it SHOULD have occurred to me).

RE Works now... Too bad there isn't a gfx plugin yet for it.

You can kind of see the Car in Cruisin Erotica (from Glide64). There is a huge texture problem with this rom.

i say only respect Azimer, it looks very well for a alpha.
What do you think you want to realease your new emulator or a beta...alpha?
but its great work.

All I can say is WOW - What plugins are you using ad just how compatible is the game. It looks like Apollo may take it's place umong the greats. How is your OpenGL plugin???

What I'd like to know is...
how apollo runs that fast? Did you change the CF, without sound or what?

Or did you finally implement DynaRec??

Azimer

OpenGL is coming along. Not much to comment on. For RE II and Tooie, I used Jabo's D3D. Apollo has an uncompatible Dynarec. The pictures shown are using my interpretive (I have done a bunch of fixes on it). Guantlet Legends also seems run as well as it does on PJ64 (where it didn't previously). Sound is enabled in all those, and Apollo's slow speed is from TLB. Both those images are not using TLB at those points. So Apollo is fast. Apollo will be faster once I get the TLB rewritten. That's all for now.

Duh! It's the gfx plugin that handles the gfx, and that's jabo's plugin.
And I think he needs pretty much more time to crack tooie.
Azimer

Yup... we need more time. The game is partly playable atm.

On the version of apollo that is out, will there be a pretty much more speed increase if we disable TLB then?

he has trouble finding LaC, and LaC would probably not tell anyway. Thats why not.

Hey Azimer, did you share any of your progress of Banjo Tooie with anyone? Will your work on the game show up on another version of pj64 since you got it to work on it or will it only be exclusively for Apollo?

Can't wait for the day we can say on the PJ forum 'If you want to play Banjo Tooie use Apolo!"
