Graphics Error... HELP PLEASE.

[Slacking]

Anyone know any reason I might be getting this error? I get it for every game. If I restart the emulator, I still get the error. If I ignore the error and press okay, it just comes back again... and again... and again. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling P64 and rebooting my computer, but the problem persists.

This emulator worked fine for me for the last week without an issue. The error only began showing up today.

The rom may have got corrupted. What are your PC specs? you could also try changing plugins

[Slacking]

I don't think it's a rom problem, it does this with all of my roms. Not just this one. How would I go about changing plugins?

what is your graphics card??????

[Slacking]

I'm not emulator literate, I was a virgin to this until a week ago. What the fuck is a graphics card, and where do I find out "what my graphics card is"?

A graphics card is what displays the graphics in your 3D & 2D games. Without one you would'nt be able to play any 3D games let alone Project 64. Right click on your desktop and select properties. Select settings and the specs of your graphics card will be displayed there.

Without a graphics card (or chip), you wouldn't be able to see anything on your monitor. Either go to the desktop properties like zion said, or run dxdiag.

Cool, found them. Intel Extreme Graphics 2.

Now... if the problem lies here, what should I do??

The problem is most likely that. Intel Extreme Graphics is an integrated graphics chip, and chips are, in general not very good when it comes to gaming (and emulators that run 3D games especially).

Still, you can try a few things:

1) Change the graphics plugin. Either Jabo's Direct3D6 or some other plugin. Check the Plugins forum for alternatives. Jabo's Direct3D8 plugin is most likely a no-go.

2) Updates the chip's drivers. http://www.intel.com should be the place to find driver updates for Intel products.

3) Buy a graphics card. That is, an card that plugs into your AGP or PCI-E slot on the motherboard (PCI-slot cards are a dying breed, and they are slower). It's the best solution, but also the most costly. Of course, if you are using a laptop a graphics card is a no-go as well.
