Maximum Requirements?

[garboy]

What N64 game has the highest recommended requirements?And what are the requirements?

[Eagle]

Umm, we really don't rate them by individual games. We give minimum requirements for the emulator, but several games such as Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, DKR, etc. run slowly due to the fact that the PC processors are of different design and must be extremely fast to keep up.

[garboy]

So will these specs. make those games run smooth?
GeForce2 Ti 64mb
AMD AthlonXP 1.5ghz
512MB SDRAM
60GB Hard drive

By the way...does ram effect speed?

[Rasmus]

I heard of people having trouble running games, on 1700 mhz processors, so I don't think you meet the highest spec... sorry

and lots of RAM makes games run more smooth, 256 MB is recommended, but more is good if you want to have other programs running while playing :)

U sure that is not a P4?

Install pj64 v1.5[beta1] and read the minimum and recommend requirement:thumbsup:

[Doomulation]

If that's an Athlon, it should run pretty much all games smooth. And for the qestion of ram: yes, it does affect speed.
Too little ram and too high processor speed will result in bad performance. You should get at least 512 mb ram for your processor.

i have a athlon xp1800+ and 256 mb ram and a geforce 4 440 and perfect dark is still slow in places

you can always make something run slow, it doesn't necessarily mean that isn't a high enough system spec.

[james.miller]

if a game slows down in places where it shouldnt, no matter how the emulator is configured, then the system obviously isnt fast enough

[Smiff]

isn't fast enough for that configuration, but the point of configuration options are that you can configure them, instead of changing hardware or software... it's impossible to give a maximum requirement, since there are too many factors to take into account... even more so than with a minimum requirement... so we just state a recommended system which will be good enough for most people who read the manual... this is normal for any software, read a few game boxes if you don't believe me.

[james.miller]

i dont think a 'maximum' will be found any time soon with current hardware.
anyway - how many people do you know are saticfied when running software on a minumum speck pc. The minumum spec for win 98 was a 486 - could you live with windows on a 486? i dont think so

[Smiff]

what are you talking about... I wrote the min and rec. spec... this is not some big corporation trying to sell you product... i didn't just make those numbers up either :innocent:

[james.miller]

what i mean is that i dont know anybody who is saticfied with software on minumum OR recommended spec machines - whever its games or anything else. if i use software and its slow or jerky - then the machine just isnt fast enongh. im not diggng at you - or the software for that matter. PJ64 is THE best emulator bar none.

[soylapolla]

im not agree with u james.miller. Pj64 is a good emulator, even if its slow with some comercial rom's. Have you seen a dreamcast emulator or a PS2 emutator running a comercial game?????? They hardly runs demos!!!!!! So if u want to play well perfectdark or goldeneye, buy the N64. honestly i dont recommend u to buy N64, its better to buy GAMECUBE

Pentium4 1600
nvidia geforce2 mx
128mb ram
SB live! 5.1

[james.miller]

thats not what im saying. Im saying that pj64 is the fastest. you just need some serious hardware for it to reach its full potential. and yes i do have an n64 (from hong-kong that plays american games which are faster than games from europe. gamecube? no. i dont think ill bother with one of them!

Not Really... I Own a 500Mhz and I still Get the best out of PJ64... :happy:

[james.miller]

yeah right.i'll believe that when i see it. my pc can reach 150fps+ on perfect dark but comes to a full stop at some points - and you say a 500mhz is all that is needed? i used to have a 650p3 and that was nowhere near good enough

[AwesomeJohnDude]

my computer is so fast when i run project 64 , i have to run these programs , just to get it to SLOW DOWN ! :

Kazaa
Aimster
Morpheus
AOL

and I also have to run Cpukiller .......

[james.miller]

prove it! show me a screen shot of your fps

[KahnAbyss]

as james said prove it I have a good pc maybe depend on wich games you are playing but I still dont belive it

[AwesomeJohnDude]

late late late late late late late late april fools

[james.miller]

yeah thats.erm. funny. go get a gameboy. that'll be more suitable for you than a pc

[AwesomeJohnDude]

i have a gba . it actually does suit me . i`m more into the pocketnes thing than n64 emulation , because my computer sux so bad ......

here , this time , i'll be serious :

433 mhz intel celeron (P2)
128 ram
ati rage pro turbo (4mb)
win 98
22 gb hard drive

and i still have the guts to play project 64 ......

i used to be all over the n64 emulation scene back then , when ultrahle was the coolest thing in the universe ........

project 64 is actually not slow , but its along way from becoming actually playable .....

i sit there sometimes , and i play majoras mask ...... the graphics quality sux (ati) , and the sound skips , and it goes at a max fps of 31 ........

but i still play it , and i played it 3 hours straight one day , and the mouse moved really slow ..... i felt like i was on drugs ..... but it was because the game was played so slow , i was adapted , and i thought everything else was slow ..... but soon enough , i started seeing normal again .......

but i love ultrahle ...... its so perfect for me ..... if only the source weren`t destroyed ...... but suprahle lives on .......

ultrahle can play zelda OoT on my computer at full speed ! only problem , is that sound skips like mad (supposed to do that)

zelda OoT on project 64 = 21 fps max ......

[james.miller]

thats more like it ausome johndude. i shouldnt worry - ive had a few old pcs. i used to use pj64 on a p2-350. ouch!
just get a new pc.
I got my athlonxp,motherboard and a coolmaster heatpipe for an ausome £230. you cant complain at that. whats stopping you?

[Lillymon]

Project 64 runs OK for me and I have:

Pentium III 450 Mhz
128 MB RAM
nVidia GeForce2 MX
Integrated sound card

By next Tuesday, I should I have:

AMD Athlon XP 2100+
512 MB RAM
ATI Radeon 8500LE
Sound Blaster Audigy Player

I plan to try Banjo-Kazooie on Nemu64 with interpreter on and see what I get... :D

[james.miller]

nice system! you building it yourself?

[Doomulation]

For all I know, interpreter does not run at full speed on 1.4 athlon. How for you then? Let's see, shall we?

[Lillymon]

I intended on building it myself, but instead I went to a local shop and they'll be buliding and testing it for free!

[james.miller]

not bad! how much? and remember not to skimp on the cooling

[AwesomeJohnDude]

well , the only problem is that i can`t actually buy anything !

I`m just a 14 year old kid , that is too young to get a job , and doesn`t get allowance ......

so there is really nothing i can do ........

[garboy]

thats not true....im building a comp. and im 13 yrs. old and im paying for l my parts(earnin)

specs:

AMD AthlonXP 1800+(1.53ghz)
512mb sdram
geforce 2 ti 64mb
80gb hd

[Encirp]

what is a good place to learn how to build comps

[garboy]

http://www.maximumpc.com/reprints/reprint_2002-03-13.html

thats a good place

[AwesomeJohnDude]

do you work garboy ? do you get allowance ?

i dont ..... so i dont think i would have any way to pay for that kind of stuff ......

and even if i did work , it would take me a million years to get a new computer ...... minimum wage is like , what $5 ?

not even 3 months would get me a new computer .... maybe a decent one on ebay that is the same as mine now , but nothing more .......

[james.miller]

building pcs are easy. anyway that site is a little expensive

[silent_app]

Does anyone knows what to do to make Perfect Dark run properly, i mean, i've tried whit PJ64 ( it works well whit other games ) 1964 and Corn, and whit all of em, all i get is bad drawing, messed up textures, ghosting graphics, and completly black screen, the only one that works is Mupen64 but really slow ( 3 fps ) and sound is choppy, help anyone!

Thanks

Specs:Intel Celeron 2.2Ghz, 512mb DDR, Nvidia Gforc4 mmx440 64mb ( and a nice 17" LCD screen( just to feel important, sorry )

[gandalf]

Why you post in this very old post?????.

The GeForce 4mx440 is onboard?

[vleespet]

This is completely off topic in a 2 years old thread. Anyway, if mupen works, it seems that glnintendo 0.4.1 (the plugin provided with mupen) is a plugin that seems to work in a correct way with your video card. Just copy the dll in the mupen plugin folder to the PJ64 plugin folder and select it there. If PJ64 is too slow, you can also try 1964.

Another thing: updating your drivers may fix a lot of problems so be sure to have the latest version from www.nvidia.com
