Sonic adventure 2 players MUST read this (Nvidia players)

[Agozer]

Well, at least the first Sonic Adventure has a PC port.

Just to add:

My GeForce 2 (yes, this is not a typo!) can play the game with few glitches.
My GeForce FX5200 has many glitches. Instead of just some polygons falling, the entire screen gets painted with one color that doesn't let you see anything
My XFX GeForce 7600 GT shows almost no problems, except for the jungle levels. I have tested 20 stages and 5 bosses and they vary from completely playable to playable. Chao garden is almost fully playable (except for some races where you can't see what's happening).

Thanx for the info, i'l add it in the first post.

Thanks Cobrax1884 very much. Now i can have a taste of the game with the save file. I just wonder why there isn't a PC version of the game. I love sonic, you know.

Meh, don't mention it.
And besides, i LOVE this game, my all time fave game.And the answer:Because sega saw that some people are f*****g stoopid to put the game on the internet so others can dl them for free, that happened to sonic heroes too.But i dunno if you saw but the next sonic the hedgie next-gen prolly will be for PC too :evil:

Well, at least the first Sonic Adventure has a PC port.

That's right but i'm preatty bored of it, emerald coast, windy valley etc.
All the levels, i'm bored of em' but still, the chao are preatty fun.
Currently i have Sonikku (doh, a sonic chao but i still need to work on) and dorky(a kid that'l be a shadow chao) but i have another chao save that has:A knux chao, an Amy chao, A tails chao, Shadow chao, Sonic chao and 3 chaos chao(hero, dark,neutral).Who wants it yake it
To apply it, go to the game folder and in the save game folder or something and then extract the archive(you may want to make a backup to you're old chao save).

OMG, Cobrax1884, me and you have made some mistakes (I just noticed them after a week or so):

My GeForce 2 does not allow you to fully play the game. You still need to use wireframe for some stages. When there are objects to the left of the camera, then there are some weird artifacts like the polygons skewing downwards and to the right at an angle of 45 degrees. I did reach very far with it though (I couldn't beat King Boom Boo in Hero Story and that's it).
My GeForceFX 5200 (not 5500) shows that wall when any such artifact mentioned above would occur.
And my name is Dark Mits, not Tits!!!

 

[Cobrax1884]

Oops XD my bad
And i know that you can't play sa2 with a GF card only if you use wire frame on a few stages.
I just downloaded the sa2 PREVIEW not the trial w/ only 1 stage.
Each character has 1 stage.
I could provide you with a link but...ppl, this a DEMO and we know that they are not for sale right?
So, if we dl this DEMO it's not iliegal .
Anyway, the demo works great, no problems.
Oh, and how's radical highway dark mits? sry bout' that

 

[Dark Mits]

Radical highway works fine when wireframe is activated. Without it:

GeForce 2 will piss you off when inside the tunnels. Aside from that it is playable.
GeForce FX5200 the same except it pisses you even more when inside tunnels.
GeForce 7600 shows few problems that do not really force you into activating Wireframe

 

[Cobrax1884]

thx, i can play rad highway w/ out wireframe b/c i know that stage like my palm XD.I'd declare this topic useless b/c NullDC will be out very soon soooo, chankast goes to the thrash can lol.NullDC can play this game glitch-free /me yells:YAHOOOOOO messenger! lol.
If this game works 100% glitch-free like darkIIrazi told me then.....I wont really need a dc but...It's no fun playing on a pc no? but remember, it's alot better playing a game in 1024*768 than in 640*480(tv) no?
Hi res modells=better game but as i said, it's alot better to play a game on a console.I will order a Dreamcast w/ 2 controllers from ebay tho but at christmas.
Me and my friend will put some money together and buy it.I don't need any games (hehe, google is you're friend if you know what i mean )
Whoa, lots of typing here no?
LOL

[JKKDARK]

Sorry for bumping (I couldn't see this topic) but, what's the best videocard for my system? I currently have a Dell Dimention 2400 with Geforce FX (forgot which one). I want to keep shader effects and OpenGL effects from the card I have. The card needs to be PCI not PCI-express

Thanks for the help!

At least I can see the topic now

you should try this game on nullDC. geforce has problems running this game with chankast.

 

[Agozer]

Try decreasing/increasing the sound buffer. Setting the date and time is a fairly trivial thing as far as emulation goes, so why do you even bother? Then again, your Dc_flash.bin might be corrupt.

 

[dog11002]

Someone tell me how i can find out what video card im using,I need to know.

 

[Agozer]

Start --> Run, type dxdiag, press Enter.

Check the Display tab in DXDiag.

 

[dog11002]

Are the "polygons" the "walls" that i see always in front blocking the view?If so,then does anyone know whether the only way to solve it is to change the video card?I've tryed SA2 on nullDC but same problem happens.Maybe something wrong with my dc_flash file whatever it does.

 

[Agozer]

It is a known problem with some Nvidia cards and Chankast, and as far as I know can't be solved in any other way than getting another video card.

 

[GCFreak]
