[Smiff]

Update, 12th May 2003 - I've added an interesting cheat code to the end of this thread (page 5), also i'm looking to revive interest in the rdb, i have already make a lot of changes to the file and am going to release an updated file soon (within a week). So this is a good opportunity to get any changes you have made to YOUR rdb into the next official release. Many thanks in advance for you help!


OK so what's this thread about? Simply, if the browser says a game works, but it doesn't, I want you to tell me about it here :)

========================================

1) AutoDetect errors

ok let's start with a little lesson about how PJ works and how it's different in 1.5. in v1.0-1.4, the video plugin would calculate a CRC once per boot and once per state load, look this up in its internal database and (hopefully) select the correct RSP code simulation. There was a menu to let you pick incase this failed. The RDB could also force a particular ROM to use a particular uCode if this failed. Fast forward to 1.5. Jabo found that correct emulation of some games required him to allow a game to switch uCodes, whenever and as often as it likes. The upside of allowing this is that you've lots more graphics showing up, downside is that now uCode detection can fail anywhere during execution and we had a hell of time trying to cram all the references in before release. The result is inevitably that the internal database is not quite complete. This is not the disaster it would seem because the RDB can (as some astute folks have noticed thanks to my one example in the file) give these references, but now they are done per calculated-CRC not per ROM, in the header, meaning one line will fix all instances of that CRC being found, and a game can still change uCodes as it likes. Hurrah.

Now could people post any and all detect failures they find in this thread. I need to know:

1) The Good Name of the game
2) The calculated CRC (that's the 8 digit number with $ sign in front)
3) Please describe where in the game this happens, or provide a state save if the point is difficult to get to.
4) Have a go at assigning the correct uCode if you want, use the chart below to help you.

Video plugin uCode detect key

uCode ID#

RSPSW 0
RSPSW_EXT 1
RSPSW_GE 2
RSPSW_PD 3
RSPSW_DKR 4
RSPSW_RARE4 5
S1DEX 6
F3DEX1 7
F3DEX2 8
F3DZEX2 9
F3DEXGB2 10
S2DEX 11

The most common are 0,7,8.
6,11 are the new sprite microcodes.

If you choose the wrong uCode, one of these things could happen:
- Immediate plugin Access Violation
- Graphics will look very messed up
- Game will run with some graphics missing
Don't worry, just try a different one and reset the game (you may need to end and start emulation (F12-F11)).

========================================

2) Resolution detection problems

Pretty easy to understand this, a game is squished or stretched, if you find any let me know here, preferably with the correct forced res value if possible.

========================================

3) Any core settings errors - typically too-weak SMCM, failure from register caching, and so on and so forth... all these need to be worked through, state saves are very helpful.

Turok 2 - Seeds of Evil (U) [!] --$49571B97

Fails whenever you attempt to bring up the map.

what about wipeout 64 during a race when your car is about to be blown to pieces you get an error..... um if i can get a print screen program i can show a pic... or maybe ill try a save state just before the error appears

Turok 2 won't crash if you set the uCode indentifier to 9 for the map screen. Still no map visible, but I'm guessing that it's not supported.

[jvolel]

wow so that's the current games that aren't supported, not alot when you think about it, thought thats not including games that don't work period (ie don't even boot) and games that don't work so well :plain:

[Smiff]

AFAIK there are only 5 roms that don't boot:



Densha de GO! 64 (J)
Mario no Photopie (J)
NFL Quarterback Club 98 (E) ?

NFL Quarterback Club 98 (U) ?
Taz Express (E)

[Duncan]

Kobe Bryant's NBA Courtside (U) and (E) are playable, no probs and nice framerates.

[Smiff]

good good... anyone found any more in that list that work?

[jollyrancher]

Is it possible to put game-specific commands in the rdb that make the 1.5 video plugin stay on the same uCode for particular games? Just wondering if this would make certain games run smoother at the expense of certain texture problems.

[jollyrancher]

I would also put All Star Baseball 99-2001 on the list of "needs video plugin." The missing in-game text makes the game unplayable from a practical standpoint.

[64ultramaniac]

Smiff can you try Starfox64?This game is a characteristic example (there are many more) of the pauses issue.It has big nasty pauses in all levels which are caused by the 1.5 video plugin cos with 1.4 is fine.So can you play this game and tell me what you get?

[Smiff]

well i played through the first level, not a pause, and this is with way too much stuff running in the background... erm... everyone go answer my questionaire at http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7804

[ickle_moi]

Diddy Kong Racing (U) (V1.0) [f1].v64 comes up as unknown but works fine

a question is there a place where we can download a newer rdb that is updated reguraly?

[Smiff]

i cant make regular updates cos

1) im lazy
2) sites would keep reporting on it
3) im lazy
4) im scared of fucking something up
5) im lazy
6) i cant think of many good updates, what do you want? :)

[jollyrancher]

The RDB is fine... why would it need to be updated regularly? And if someone's not using a rom that's recognized, that's their problem... just get the good "[!]" rom unstead of these [u1], [t1], [b1], [f1] sketchy roms.

[Hottoast]

Wish i was as lazy as you are smiff, i might actually get something done;)

[64ultramaniac]

Iggy's Reckin' Balls freezes every time in easy street on tower 4 (it's the 4th race).This happens as I said every time in exactly the same place.

StarCraft 64 (U) (beta)
is shown as Bad ROM? (use goodn64 )
same with:
Automobil Lamborghini (U) [o3]

(i used allready good tools and)

well both games work (but they are shown as Unknown...)

starcraft has only a lil bug when u go to choose the race in menu the slide efect of the characters is a bit ugly but ingame works good...


and another question is?
Resident Evil 2 (U)
it says Uncertain hmmm i started it once it looks ahhm o.k?
but why is the Textcolor of the game in browser black?
i tought black means only unknow game
and this one has infos too like [video depth problem [rsp] sound bad ....


Vigilante 8 (U)
Vigilante 8 - 2nd Offense (U)

both are in brown color (Issues (plugin)
( [video] error(s);menus,sky

didnt get that game to run (ingame)
i can go in both games to menu but when i hit then A to start a map it doesnt do any...
is that what it is supposed to do?
(if yes hmm?`in version 1.4 of project64 both did work
ingame too but laggin like hell...)
and now they dont even run ingame?

[crhylove]

the [o1] is a hack, and a beta is an incomplete early release version... so those won't be included in the list, u should can em and find the right ones anyway. (u) with no additional info.

hexlord, did u actually PLAY pokemon puzzle league? i'd really like to see this game work in some emu, it's a very fun game. (yes i know we all hate pokemon), cuz i've gotten some gfx wrestling with daedelus rel2 (rice unofficial version), but the game is def unplayable.

and yes there's a south park rally, and despite the volumes of people here who hate it, i think it's totally fun. and it works with jabo 1.2 :)

peace.

[kingjubba]

Not sure if this has already been addressed, but in 'Zelda:Ocarina of Time'
When your an Adult and you try to enter the weapons shop in kakariko village, i got a graphics error pop-up. It happens every time you enter the shop...
If you click 'OK' it sometimes doesn't matter and the shop loads fine, but others the error keeps popping up and the game halts...

[Laughy]

Although Zelda 2 works beautifully, the transitions between days has gotten more REALLY annoying. I know the FAQ says it goes black for a few seconds, but instead it goes black, the sound becomes choppy, the game CONTINUES TO PLAY (in other words you get killed behind the scenes) and the frame rate drops to maybe 25 fps. 30 seconds or so later, it shows "next day" text and everything is fine. This wouldn't be annoying if it happened once, but after a while you kind of get scared when it's about to change days (and you run to find a secret place to hide).

Also I have found it impossible to get F-ZeroX running. Complains about invalid opcode (running in interpreter mode = black screen + 10fps). I checked with GoodN64 says it's a fine rom.

Otherwise great job guys you guys rule! :) :pj64: :inlove: :pj64: :inlove: :pj64: :inlove: :inlove:

[stormyandcol]

i'd have another look at that fzero rom cause it should work correctly with almost no glitches in pj1.5.

since u got a better pc (albiet only slightly) it should run even better, i got it running 60fps at 1280x1024x32 + 2x anisotropic filtering using jabos default plugins for pj1.5

check with the bad rom to good rom patching utility and see if theres a patch anyway, thats what i did and once fzero was patched it worked like a dream ;)

only got 2 roms that are playing up atm, hydro thunder and super smash bros, ssb needs patching cause its a known bad rom but there isn't 1 for it :(

[Fritti]

Re: Zelda 2, have to agree with Laughy here. The day transition is not really playable. Not a bashing remark, you guys do (did) a great job with pj64.

This might seem like a stupidly obvious suggestion, but why not just play the PC version of "Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine"? It's even out on budget release these days.

[Idonex]

I have one for Wipeout 64 that the browser says is green and supported. I hope this is the right info :)

1) Wipeout 64 (E) [!].v64
2) Looks like this:

$EBD45CC3

http://www.btinternet.com/~andycz/wipeout.jpg

3) Happens as soon as you load the rom. It then gets to the intro screen and spams the screen until you give up.

Everything is on default settings.

I'm sorry if this is a known one, just trying to do my bit :D

[Alucardia]

how about Ogre Battle 64??? any idea how can i play the game???

[JerryKing]

In my case, it's because I have every Indy game ever released (and one unreleased, too :D), in every version, for all systems, consoles (and the pinball :)), starting with Raiders for Atari 2600 and ending with Infernal Machine PC and N64, the Nintendo version being the *only* one that I haven't played... and I want to.

Additionally, it differs from the PC version slightly.

[SlapnMachine]

I've got one:
Roadsters (US) is listed as not working according to the rdb that comes with PJ64 1.5, however it starts and runs, just very poorly. Graphics errors listed in the rom browser are present, as well as one that isn't: wheels aren't visible. Both the PAL (E) and NTSC (U) version exhibit these symptoms. The PAL version runs somewhat better, but not nearly as well as on a real N64. The sound is much better with the PAL verison though.

Wipeout 64 works fine for me. Mine's the U.S. version. I don't know if it's "good" or not, I don't mess with that verification stuff. I dumped my own roms, so there's really never any question except for the odd foreign rom I downloaded.

yeah,but you forgot to say that it needs cf1 in order to work(Duncan's find) that's why it runs slower than the pal version

Does Anyone know how to fix Ogre Battle 64 background. It just comes up as a black screen. Anyone know what uCode# u gotta use to fix this?

or just

and do you change the Core Note or the Plugin Note?
thanks

oh well another ram adition,mine is 128 p400 seems another 128 is a good choice,and for ogre battle there's no prob at all,where do u mess the u code anyways isn't it set(we can't change that right in zspec).

[bruman]

more ram wont do shit. i have 256 of 333mhz DDR. and your wrong ogre battle is fucked. it WORKS and you can play and beat it, but the backgrounds are not there. And in a game like that... with lush backgrounds you simply have to have them

Ok here goes Donkey kong 64 (E)(b1) Apparrently it is a bad rom and was from the start now when it starts in PJ64 it says:
"In a permannent loop that cannot be exited"
I patched the rom and now it says
"Unknown cic chip"
and in another it says
"Unhandeled r4300i OpCode at A4000050"
"Unknown 71 0b c0 d9"
"Stopping emulation!!!!!"
but there is one other thing.
It says that there is only a flash. i have downloaded the rom from 10 different places and no luck. any help?

[OminaeYu]

Castlevania (U) (V1.0) [b4]
In a permanant loop emulation will now exit

Checked with GoodN64 and it is not a bad dump

[Fritti]

> Castlevania (U) (V1.0) [b4]

dude, that [b4] part means it's a bad dump...

All roms with [b] or [b1] or [b2] etc are bad. Avoid those. They should not exist. They should be banned, eradicated, bob-ombed, killed, /dev/null'ed, well you understand.

[5t4663r]

I didn't see it in this thread, so if it matters I'll say too that Animal Forest (Dobutsu No Mori) is not (properly) playable in PJ64. I saw someone else post the same error, I forget who; after completing the initial tasks for Tom Nook you can't re-enter your house without the emu crashing (black screen, frame rate up to about 4 or 500). You can save (since this doesn't require you enter the house) but it's not much fun not being able to see whatever you've found/bought/received.

Oh, and I do now have a Cube and AC. :) 1964 doesn't work with it either (at least for me; you can't save with anything but savestates, so that sort of ruined it too). However, Apollo did; only it kept crashing every 20 seconds or so. 1 hand on the pad, one on F5... :)

After about a week of that I thought "hell with this" and went out and bought a Cube with all the trimmings. Highly recommended. Shame it doesn't work properly, though; AF is a nice way to see what the game's actually like...

Edit: Again, if it matters:
Athlon 1200
390MB RAM
GeForce 4 (the lowest model, but not one of the baby ones. I forget the number)
Windows ME (wish I had a new OS...)

i've got something that might interest a lot of people - Tooie just gave me a code that appears to get rid of the ZeldaOoT subscreen delay. I tested it on v1.0 and it seemed to work. The code, which you can add yourself for now (either paste into CHT file in the Zelda U 1.0 section or enter via cheat window), Cheat55="Subscreen delay fix",801DA5CB 0002. Warning - there may be unwanted side effects from this, it hasn't been tested yet. Tooie just gave it to me, i have no idea how he got it, probably some clever digging about in the compiler :)

EDIT: full list of codes and details moved to this thread http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13878. thanks.

[Smiff]

I've deleted OT replies - no offense if yours are amoung them. When i release a new file, if you update you will of course lose any changes you made (unless you painstakingly work through the change log), so it's in every user's best interest to let me know about your changes, and get them into the release for everyone else!

i have the following list of points remaining and would apprecite any help checking them:

64ultramaniac, hi (you were always on my fav testy people eheh. nice to still have you around)

Does this mean you've just tried all those points once, or have you tried fiddling with core settings to fix the problem? please let me know. Also some idea of hour serious you think each problem is would be most helpfull. I will try some of those but it's dificult in e.g. Wipeout

Ready 2 Rumble2 - no wonder, i had it on Cache.. try Protect Memory.
Iggy's Reckin Balls - ditto, i would guess

[64ultramaniac]

hi Smiff
for wipeout64 here is a save for you to try it,load it in options and go to challenge or time trial,it doesn't matter.

[Gent]

Hmmm yea same for N-Rages_DI8_V2_1.80a :plain:

Dont matter if it is one Challenge race or all compleated

On save and reload its freezes.

That also applies to pj saves .....

but if you save when you are about to do the next challenge you can F7 (Quick Load) and press A and go & race on that yellow highlighted next race.
but if you try to go up to a previous race it will freeze.

[Smiff]

Thanks guys. seems to be timing sensitive :/. Try CF1.

slight problem though. Wipeout (E) doesn't seem to want to load that mempak. Can someone try (E)? somehow.

edit#2: why am i getting an AV in the gfx plugin now.

[Gent]

Yea smiff i got the Av also in Time trial.

& lol you are gonna love this solve to the freeze prob :happy:

[Smiff]

yeah gent i already noticed the CF thing, its a shag. Could you guys try running with CF1, SP Hack on and TLB off, see how that goes?

edit (again!) gent why the 8MB?

[Gent]

Erm because its the only one that worked.

I already tried what you suggested above and got this.

When you load up the game in PJ

[Smiff]

gent lets discuss this later on IRC. but for now i'm a goin' out for a ride in the warm afternoon sun :w00t:

[Gent]

dam you're lucky :bye3:
i'm not feeling very well at the moment :down:

[64ultramaniac]

i also had the av prob,it can happen in race mode too,nothing you can do about it (i think).
also for ready 2 rumble 2,it has the same problem with protect memory too,i tried everything,nothing works.i think it's the gfx plugin so it's unlikely you can do something about it...
the same goes for iggy's so these 2 games are not really playable :(

[Smiff]

ok i want to ask a few questions to anyone who knows the games:

Ogre Battle - how serious are the black backgrounds in battle scenes? how much does it affect the game?
Resident Evil - how serious is the flicker? how much does it affect the game?

that's all for now, thanks.

64ultramaniac, R2Rr2 no longer hung for me when i put it on Protect.. that's pretty odd if it does for you.

the game doesn't always hung at the same place so it can trick you and get away with it.
no matter what smcm i'm using,sometimes i can pass the 1st fight. for instance i remember that once i reached the 5th or 6th fight and then it hung. but no matter what fight, it freezes always when you have finished a fight and it shows the winning screen or a game over screen.
i've played this game extensively so i'm positive about it.

I'll chime in here because I've had the same problem. The last time I played it, I used save states to finish it.

[64ultramaniac]

ok, for resident evil use cf1.
no flickering, no lock-ups, fully playable!!!

[Smiff]

OK er i must have forgotten to post last night, keep R2Rr2 on Cache and change to CF1 - that seems to work for me + Gent.

is there anything CF1 won't fix ;)

Re2 - I always had the problem that it hangs just after the first door. But these settings seem to work for me: (all default plugs of course):

Recompiler
Protect Memory
8MB
Off
detect 1st used (why do i think RE2 is 16k eeprom?)
CF1
all the boxes UNchecked.

64ultramiac are those your settings also?

when testing don't use states, they can make you think it's more ok than it is apparently.

[64ultramaniac]

i've used before cf1 for ready 2 rumble 2, i just had it on protect.
now i tried with cf1 and cache as you said and i got another nice and beautiful lockup in the game over screen.
as i said there is no way to avoid a lockup,sometime it will happen, it just tricks you because it doesn't do it in the same place.
as for resi, yes these are the exact same settings i'm using too.
cf1 solves both the flickering and lockup problems. for the history i just want to say that the game runs at full speed (60fps) with cf1 and protect memory (plus no rc) in an athlon 700mhz!
who said project64 is not fast enough :angry:

[Smiff]

Dobutsu No Mori - how do you recreate that crash please?
Ogre Battle 64 - how serious are the black backgrounds?

[64ultramaniac]

in my opinion ogre battle is still playable despite these problems.
of course i haven't finished the game so i can't tell 100% that is playable till the end.
but my guess is that it is...

for dobutsu i wasn't able to crash it till now,and i guess it will be difficult to find that crash you're talking about (if it exists)
anyone else that has played a lot this game???

[gubernator]

With the black back grounds, the game can still be played. But it really kills it, once you played a few of the battles where the backgrounds are working, and realize how much better the battles are with the back grounds.

[Smiff]

ok thanks.

Can anyone post a native save for Zelda Master Quest, as close as possible to the end of the game? I want to test the reports of it crashing at the end. Many thanks in advance to anyone who can.

Be happy to. The only problem, no matter how many times I save it through the boss battles, you start at the bottom of Ganon's Tower. The enemies are gone (save for bats in the first room), but you'll have to fight Ganondorf, two Skull dudes on the way down the tower, and Ganon.

BTW, nice to have you back. :)

[Smiff]

arg. ok lol. can i have a state aswell, right after the last thing you have to beat? if its too big for the forum, could you upload to smiffftp.dyndns.org port21 l/p user/pj64 thanks again

I've posted a Save game in Master Quest for Project64 in the other merged thread about Zelda Master Quest, but I assume you already know this :)

[Zenikase]

Smiff, any possibility of an updated RDB with all these new entries? I've been browsing the forum for a while, but the amount of modifications is staggering. Maybe a WIP release is in the near future...

yeah im sorry about this, i will do a release soon, i just have to sort some stuff out first, also i want to release several files at once.

[Smiff]

hello peeps, still working on this. unfortunately i don't have a section in my Whatsnew for "things i suspect but couldn't be bothered to check".

Here's what i'm currently worried about:

Hybrid Heaven may hang at end?
Mario Golf video missing grid?
Wipeout (E) hangs after race?

big thanks to anyone who feels like offering their experiences on any of these.

Now I'm gonna try and get the support site working so i have somewhere to upload it...

[Jimbot]

I can confirm that the grid is missing in Mario Golf (U), at least with my specs. There is another thing tho. It seems that when hitting and zooming up to the ball after hitting are only about 30 FPS. Can someone else try this and check for both things? It might just be my system...

Yep, I can confirm the missing grid as well as the slowdown.

[Smiff]

right how serious is not having that grid?

[Jimbot]

not very

its just used to estimate where your ball will land, which you can do easily enough with the marker (which does show)

[Smiff]

thanks jimbot.

In "notes (default plugins)" for Doom 64 it says "(video)(see GameFAQ)" but Doom 64 doesn`t exist in GameFAQ! Fix that!

its doom. it's a PC game.

well than in status you should write Issues(plugin) instead of Compatible because you can`t play it with Jabo`s graphic plugin

I can`t start The World is Not Enough in Project 64(i can in 1964)no mater what video plugin do i use...frames doesn`t start to count,very strange:geek:

[Smiff]

it works... there must have been some thing small-ish i wanted to add though

[Trotterwatch]

Originally posted by Smiff

Could the note you wanted to add have been something to do with how dark the game is?(probably not but just in case..) If so then that is something wrong with the actual game (even on the N64 it was criticised for the level of darkness prevalent).

[Troublemaker]

Here is the thing for me about Doom 64. When I walk it`s like on 1st and 2nd picture but when I`m not mooving it`s like on the 3rd picture(normal).

[Troublemaker]

2nd

[Troublemaker]

3rd

[Troublemaker]

i have computer under specifications: Celeron 366Mhz with ASUS Riva TNT v3400 graphic card...and fps is 55 so I don`t think that that has something to do with it. But maby it`s something about graphic card??? Maby in GameFAQs you wanted to add something about people could have problems with some graphic cards???

[Troublemaker]

i have the same problem in unoficial daedalus
it works fine with glide64 but ingame graphic is foggy, I think it`s because of glide wrapper

[Troublemaker]

with 1964 open gl game works fine too but it is too slow

[64ultramaniac]

it works... there must have been some thing small-ish i wanted to add though
it's the map problem, you can't see where you going...

Animal Forest (Dobutsu No Mori) emu crashes when re-entering house?

Aside from graphical errors and a bug in which there's a long pause when switching to the game's menu, this game seems perfectly emulated for me (before v1.5 SP1). After installing SP1, the game would crash after a few minutes of playing. I inspected the ROM settings for the entry and found that they'd changed from v1.5 to v1.5 SP1.

PJ64 v1.5:


Good Name=Dobutsu no Mori (J)
Internal Name=DOUBUTSUNOMORI
RDRAM Size=4
Counter Factor=2
Save Type=First Save Type
CPU Type=Recompiler
Self-modifying code Method=[B]Change Memory
Use TLB=Yes
Linking=Global
Reg Cache=Yes
Use Large Buffer=No
//Geometry Pipeline=Internal
Status=Compatible

PJ64 v1.5 SP1:


Good Name=Dobutsu no Mori (J)
Internal Name=DOUBUTSUNOMORI
RDRAM Size=4
Counter Factor=2
Save Type=First Save Type
CPU Type=Recompiler
Self-modifying code Method=[B]Protected Memory
Use TLB=Yes
Linking=Global
Reg Cache=Yes
Use Large Buffer=No
Status=Uncertain
Delay SI=No
SP Hack=No
Core Note=crash when re-entering house?
Plugin Note=

After changing the Self-modifying Code Method back to Change Memory, the game played perfectly. I get a crash when loading a savestate every great once-in-a-while, but it's only a minor annoyance at most and easily mended (though I don't remember it being there before SP1).

If you'd like some screenies of the graphical errors (in case it might be an emu-level problem), don't hesitate to ask. So far, though, Orkin's glNintendo() 0.3.2b works best for me where graphics plugins are concerned. I tried the new 0.4 earlier tonight with disappointing results, so I'm back on 0.3.2b.

PJ64 v1.5 SP1
glNintendo() 0.3.2b graphics plugin
Jabo's DirectSound 1.5 sound plugin

I noticed that All-Star Baseball 2000 and 2001 freeze with PJ64 1.5 and the current rom settings in rdb. It froze in the 4th-5th innings. The emulator still works... just the games stop doing anything. I then unchecked "register caching" and changed it to "protect memory" and made it to the 8th inning and then it froze. I tried interpreter but it was too slow.

They're good roms and I'm using Rice's video plugin (the only one that makes it 100% playable) and Jabo's audio.

[shoka]

SnowBoard Kids 2 (U)

PJ 1.5 with SP1

Azimer has Hydothunder and Tarzan fix that works with PJ64 1.5.
Put exe. from his file in PJ64 1.5 folder(you'll have two exe. now) and and add his sound plugin to plugin folder. For Hydothunder and Tarzan start PJ64 using his exe. go to settings, rom setting, uncheck use TLB. Plug-in are video - Jabo's Direct3D6 1.5.1, audio - Azimer's HLE Audio v0.55.1 Alpha. Sorry if you already know this.

Here is where to find file - http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.p...14&page=1&pp=15

Sorry, but it occurred to me I should try using the fix I mentioned in my other post on The World is Not Enough which also has bad audio and it seems to fix the audio on it also!

Did you get the slowdown problem solved? I'm also having this problem if you know a solution please reply quickly.

[Royer]

Don't know if already posted, but i have graphic problems with Mission Impossible.
I am unable to choose a level at beginning because the display shows always the same picture and at that point it slows down to 30 FPS, when I play a level at full speed.
The sound is sometimes also bad.

[punkblader]

I don't know if anyone else has this problem but in Lego Racer while in the game menu's when I push down it goes up but pushing up works just fine, it is really annoying going through the menu's backwards.

[punkblader]

also i am having trouble with Blast Corpse, the N64 logo spins way to fast and as soon as you can see that fire truck thing on the intro it pops up with the message "Unhandled R4300i OP code at: 8024C 850 Break Stoping Emulation!" and i can't find away around it. is there something wrong with my settings cause GoodN64 and it said the rom was fine.

[ScottJC]

Have you ever considered that you have set up your Input plugin wrong? Like putting the up button on the down key. Also blast corps is known for not working properly.

Make use of the "Edit Button" instead of double posting.

yeah, i made sure my input was correct, it works fine on every other game too. Is there anyway to make Blast Corpse work? cause i have tried downloading it from at least 5 websites but none of them seem to work for me.

Before u kill ganon,save.

Then settings look like this

Cpu Core Style: Recomplier

Default mem Size 8 mb

Use TLB Checked

And play in window.

That is one solution. And second is to ask me for my redump, which works just fine!

Change the self modifying code method for the particular game. Reffer to the PJ64 manual if you don't know how to do it.
