Urr. thats normal, it'll pass if you give it time. or you can Uncheck "self rendering textures" in graphics plugin config, of course you have to also uncheck hide advanced settings there to actually see this option.

This will get rid of the problem but it will also disable the background when you press start from working correctly.

i gave a it a good 20-30 (might of miscounted) seconds
or should i be more patient or should put on the pause menu

I have this same problem and for me this doesnt fix it. The screen still goes back. But when I uncheck that box it stops the framerate from messing up when this occurs. The screen still goes black when it goes to the next day around when the bell starts ringing.

Need feed back on how I can solve this plz.

Glide64 supports this. You'll need a wrapper and check the following options in Glide64 config: smart read, motion blur (optional), depth buffer clear, flame's corona fix and Hardware frame buffer emulation to be accurate to the game. Note: You may experience PC crippling slowdowns.

Thx for the advice Clements.

Speaking of this matter. Im trying to get Zelda: MM running the best I can.
My specs are:
OS: Windows XP HE
Proccessor: AMD Athlon 2600+
RAM: 1024MB
Vid Card: 128MB Radeon 9200 (updated)
HD: 60 GB

Any suggestions that would get MM running at its best for me?

I'd say go Direct64 for this game. It fully supports the motion blur at 60fps, and lens of truth works, and the image quality is unmatched. I don't think the screen shrink is supported, but then again I haven't checked with this plugin.

Make sure you pick up the version with Orkin sampling and simulate overscan working, as well as the newest. Make sure you use the very latest catalysts for your 9200 or the plugin may just show a black screen otherwise.

Suggested emulator? I think i used this with PJ64 but the FPS at the lower coner would interupt the video. The overscan stopped the entire screen from blinking but it will continue to interupt and blink at the lower right hand of the screen.

Use 1964. That annoying issue affects PJ64 but not 1964.
