Technically you'll get none here either, as this board deals with PJ64 only and not third-party plugins. I suspect most of us here are still using v1.6 anyway.
Also, the beta board seems to be a spambot haven these days, so you're probably out of luck regardless (legitimate or not).
thanks for your answer. and yes your right about the beta board. two visits resulted in
108 adware "hitchhikers" lol.
Emulators are programs and are not guilty of anything, nor are their writers as long as they didn't use any underhanded methods to develop said emulators.
yes your kinda right. the legal controversy is about the video game downloads, or ROMs, themselves. these are protected under copyright laws, and it can be a violation
to download or use them. this leads to an interesting situation, where it is perfectly legal to own a video game emulator, but not to own any
games for it. many video game emulator and ROM sites post a disclaimer saying that you may only download the games if you own the respective real
versions of them, but this is often disregarded. N64 has a BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) or a variation of, and hence that would be the
copyright problem.
You're talking about a video plugin that's giving you problems in PJ64 1.7, specifically. (As you stated in the first post, PJ64 1.6 works fine with it.) Hence, my suggestion that you proceed to the board that is specifically intended for PJ64 1.7 bugs/support. If the copy isn't legitimate, it's possible the problem you're experiencing isn't even present in the official release of the emulator - which is why you typically won't find PJ64 1.7 support anywhere other than its official beta board.
my copy 1.7.0.49 is NOT a beta. mabey sugest to the mods here to have a PJ64 1.7 forum here.
