Unknown microcode detected

[Szpak]

Hi,

Last time I've got "Unknown microcode detected" message when wanted to play Mario Kart 64. There is an info about notify Orkin. But I don't know who is he/she.
So my question is where can I send that information?

Don't worry about it, Orkin knows about this (and fixed it for Direct64). Hopefully you should be able to select the F3DEX microcode from the list and it'll work.

I've tried all available options, but always got "segmentation fault". Mario64 worked ok.
I use version 0.4 under Win XP. Is it newest version?

v0.4.1 was the last version of gln64(). Only the F3DEX microcode can be used with MK64. If your video card is good enough, you can use Direct64 0.5 Alpha, which uses Direct X instead of OpenGL, and doesn't have the problem.

Direct64 0.5 alpha ends with "access violation" with all roms I have. Maybe my card is too old (GF2Ti).
glN64 0.4.1 hangs with Mario Kart, but I noticed that if I previous load Mario64 in the same session then Mario Kart works (for now ).

Thanks for reply

Thanks for info. Probably it will help windows version too. Is there Windows CVS build available? Or I have to build it on my own?
