1964 not working yet... help

[PatrickS]

I am new to 1964 and relatively new to N64 emulation. I cann't seem to get any of my roms to play using 1964. I have tried various combinations of plugins/options. Since NONE of my roms work, I'd say I am missing something very basic here... I know the roms are ok, because I can get them to run under PJ64. Basically, when I load a rom, I just get a black screen. The cpu counter reads 99%, all other counters (video, comipler, etc) read 0%. I get no sound or video. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? My admittedly old system specs are below:

AMD k62-450mhz
128mb ram
AWE32 sound card
GeForce1 DDR video (w/ Voodoo2 installed also)

Please help!
Thanks,
PatrickS

Yeah, that same thing happened with my old PC that is similar to yours. There is a good chance that nothing can be done about it, as I tried to get it to work and nothing worked. (works on new PC excellently, mind) It could be due to a combination of factors. I'm afraid you might have to try another emu like UltraHLE.

If Ultra HLE doesnt work, Corn might, I admit Ive never used it, but I hear that it is the fastest N64 emulator, and can work well on slower CPU's

Are you using 1964 0.8.5 ?

 

[PatrickS]

I am using 1964 v8.4. I will go look for 8.5 now and see if I have better results. I'll report back with my results. Thanks to all who have replied so far (even though the answers aren't exactly what I wanted to hear...)

Regards,

1964 0.8.4 does not work on AMD K6 chips. 1964 0.8.5 does.

schibo, that was probably my problem! Oh well. Might dredge up my old comp and check one day

Well, I have tried v.85 and the results are promising, but not yet satisfactory. I can now get all of my roms to work... for a minute or 2. But they all end up crashing (stack dump errors. I think invalid page faults or something like that). But when it is working, 1964 works great! Way faster than PJ64. So I am determined to get it working. I have tried various video plugins (both Glide64 for my Voodoo2, and D3D for my GeForce). I generally test with the no sound plugin. The results are alsways the same. crash after a minute or 2. This happens with all roms.

Any ideas what I could try next?

Thanks!
