DK64 problems

[andres27]

I have tried since I first knew about PJ64 some years ago, to play DK64, but with no sucess. It´s a shame, it´s one of my favourite games . The first problem I had was that after starting a new game, the screen turns yellow and then the game freezes. I figured how to fix this problem by going to the menu options, and changing the "Skipe story" to On. Now I can play around Donkey Kong house, but when I want to exit to the DK Island, the screen turns black and I cannot continue! I heard of people that can play the game with no problems, but how that people did to do that? Any help will be welcomed ^_^. Oh, I forgot to say what are my computer specs, but I don´t think there will be any problem, but anyways =P:

Intel P4 2.53 Ghz
NVidia GeForce 4200 Ti with AGP8x
Creative Audigy Audio Processor
512 DDR RAM

EDIT: Oh! And the plugins I´m actually using are:

Video: Jabo's Direct3D8 1.6
Audio: Jabo's DirectSound 1.6
Controller: Jabo's DirectInput7 1.6

mmm argento ^^

i think it´s a problem of the rom, not of the emulator

nope, there are various issues with the Emulator and Donkey Kong 64 ranging from memory address errors to polygon tearing.

. Well, I will try another versions of the ROM to see what happens . The ROM I´m using is Donkey Kong 64 [!].

So, with that you mean that there's no way to play it? But I heard of...oh well .

It's not that it is unplayable, but that there are known issues so "play at your own risk"

What kind of issues? They includes mine?

I am not sure about your problems specifically but the polygon issues and some timing issues are known - you might try looking at Bighead's n64 configuration list http://bmgcl.emuxhaven.net/n64mgcl/N64ConfigList.htm

EDIT: I forgot to mention, do you have the latest RDB? http://www.pj64-emu.com/downloads/Download/Project64/Updates/

I'm guessing it's really an alpha issue. Everyone says it's frame buffer, but when I turn on frame buffer emulation for any plugin, the zipper issue persists. I think it's the game's alpha issues causing it, though the GameFAQ states otherwise.
