geforce 3

[emuguy]

ive got a new geforce 3 ti and all my roms run perfect in the highest resolution except for perfect dark which judders even in 640x480x16. it doesnt seem to chsnge no matter what i have the res on. why? ive tried the 4kbit eeprom thing bet it just keeps saying controller pak damaged attemp repair, so i try to repair and it says it was successful. but when i press to continue it loops back to the controller pak dameged screen and keeps looping round so i cant get into the game

[cooliscool]

you could have spent the money you spent on the gf3 to get the real thing... :innocent:

[grand master]

This is due to the core (like goldeneye) and needs a supercomputer to run perfect!
Use 1964 0.83c (if you have xp) and it absolutely flys (no kiddin)

[emuguy]

no cos with my geforce i can play all other games (pc and n64) full detail, highest res. just a problem with perfect dark. and actually i cub problr pick the real think up for a fiver. but whats the point? i know it wil work wuth my card, hel it should be able to run it 5 times at onece. :) its just a matter of how

[emuguy]

yes it flys too fast in 1964 :(. also i had perfect dark running perfect with my sis730 shitty integrated graphics chip on 640x480 and some levels on 800x600. so why the hell wont it work with a gf3 ti????????????????????

[Stezo2k]

its part of the pj64 core that makes it emulate slow on games like goldeneye & perfect dark. Looks like it u'll have to use 1964, else u have to run it on your real n64 (works just as good)

limit your question marks, im sick of seeing "???" in every post. Secondly, use frame limiter in 1964 to slow it down.

UGH.. some people just DON'T get IT! IT NEEDS A FAST COMPUTER TO RUN (THAT MEANS CPU, VIDEO CARD, RAM, SOUND CARD, ETC!) and no, you will never be able to run it 5 times at once, just because you have a geforce3. :plain2:

[jollyrancher]

The problem isn't the geforce 3 because Perfect Dark runs PERFECTLY on my computer with the new PJ64.... and I have the wimpy TI200 model. In the PJ64 help file the PJ64 team makes it clear that a fast CPU is the most critical hardware component.

[DarkKnight38]

I get a varied 50-60 fps on my p4 1.5GHz, with that said, anything lower than that probably wont be able to run it at too great of speeds.

game works fine under project 64

so a 1.4ghz amd athlon xp1600+ isnt fast????

[emuguy]

why are peole getting mad at me? i know IT SHOULD WORK cos it worked with my sh*tty SIS730. so dont give me crap about the processor not being fast enough.

[emuguy]

by the way the rest of my specs are
amd athlon xp1600+
512mb pc133
creative geforce 3 ti 200
40gig hd
etc

[emuguy]

well? what other thing cud be causing this?

[thedaemon666]

lol you know you could always try maximizing your available physical memory and page file space...
ever think of defragging as well? cause yeah that can improve file access speeds etc etc thus anything being used from the page file will be faster etc get more ram??
another thing might be that you could learn how to spell? hahaha but that won't help speeds, eliminate any programs and processes that are running in the background etc... basically kill off any non essential things...
also check to see if you have any viruses etc cause they can do some nasty things to efficiency and generally if you have caused registry problems on your current installation of windows it could cause you grief but yeah these are things that *most* but not all people would over look because they aren't very obvious, also improper system maintenance will cause you problems

[emuguy]

defragging-no need cos ive just formatted
viruses-none
background stuff-none
spelling error-i dont come on here for english lessons, i come on hear for help regarding pj64:)

my system is properly maintained, everything is optimal.
so i dont have a clue what the hell is going on here. this sucks:(

[sytaylor]

trust me its cpu speed... i have a "lowly" 1.2ghz tbird and i struggle to manage a constant poor frame rate... ocasionally peaking at proper speed in low detail areas... the more thats on screen to emulate the slower it will go. To get the absolute best out of Perfect Dark you need realstically an xp 2000 just for headroom (or at least thats my guess) an even then you probably arent safe from slowdown

How about the fact that your using PJ64!!! Thats what weve been trying to tell you. If you want to run PD on PJ at perfect speed you need to have something like a Pentium 8 12000Mhz CPU (or equivilent for you AMD users). Besides, video cards DO NOT... I repeat... DO NOT make a difference on speed for PJ64. Its your CPU that matters. Only your CPU. The better graphics card merely makes the game look better (and only slightly at that).

We tried to answer this before, but you have to read and pay attention ;)

I still dont think an XP 2000 would be good enough on PJ. Its just too complex and uses too many resources. Like said above you need to use 1964, Perfect Dark was only in its emulation beginning stages when PJ64's production was ended. 1964 has had several months to continue the work.

So, Eagle, You're saying that my GF4 mx didn't increase speed in pj64 as opposed to my old trident integrated 8mb? HAH! if you're upgrading from something that uses Unified Memory Architecture crap then yeah, video card DOES increase speed, quite a bit i might add (+20fps as opposed to my shit trident crap)

OK you got me. Thats what I get for not being specific :P What I'm saying is if you upgrade from a Geforce 2 MX to a Geforce 4 Ti, you arent going to get a speed increase.

[Smiff]

bit of an exaggeration but yeah the system requirements are too high, use 1964 or something and stop bitching.

[jollyrancher]

No. Perfect Dark runs perfectly with 1.8 ghz and a geforce3. It also runs faster on the new PJ64 than 1964 (all settings identical). Maybe on a different computer it would be reversed, but on a p4 Perfect Dark runs faster on PJ64.

[syon]

Prefect Dark runs flawlessly on my system :)

Check my system specs below ...

[RaverX]

game runs like butter for me.... look at my system spec's....

[RaverX]

hell and im still letting my virus scanner and seti run in the background.....

[emuguy]

i got it working now. managed to change to 4kb eeprom without the controller pak option fu*king up. :)

[emuguy]

abd by the way its 60fps with reolution on highest32bit antisopetric filtering (or whatever, cant be bothered o look what its actually called :)) on full. i dont know if that caused performance drops but it doesnt on mine
