Ogre Battle 64 - one crippling problem

[Laz]

Hi,
I'm a noob at using n64 emulators, so i was hoping someone could help me...i'm using project 64 1.5 w/default plugins and default settings (only difference is i'm using nforce's controller plugin). ob64 seems to run perfectly...smooth, everything looks just like the console...except for when entering new zones. The screen that says 'scene 1' or whatnot with the eagle standard and water effects just brings my system to its knees and eventually freezes the game. I haven't been able to find a way around this problem and i was hoping someone could help. One note - the only thing that shows up on the 'scene' screen is the eagle standard, ripple effects and the number 1. No words show up at all.




system specs:
athlon 950 mhz processer (tbird)
asus a7v mboard
asus v7700 64 meg ram geforce 2 card, running latest det. drivers
sblive
running under win2k

Thanks in advance,
Laz

I have had the same problem, you can avoid a very long hang by pressing buttons on the controller as soon as the screen comes up, and you should only have a 30-40 second wait, for kind of obvious reasons.

I would like to know if anyone has been up to the 7th or 8th battle at the Gunther Mines and has had the following problem. The rom I use is GOOD, etc, and my PJ64 setup is standard, but at the end of the final Gunther Mines battle there is a 'Graphics Plug-in error shown below. It differs depending on the video plugin being used, but in all plugins is causes a fatal error. There is a work-around, but seems to be a tricky problem because of the way all of the video plugins I use are affected, just in a different way. Of course it could just be me.

if you have a problem with all video plugins its probably a core error, try using R4k interpreter at that point, then back off to see what the problem is e.g. SMCM, Reg Cache, etc.

Octopazz,

I am at Scene 24 and don't have the problem that you mentioned.
For jabo directsound, I do not check sync. Seems to be working just fine and if it is too slow, just press F4 - kind of speed up a little.

i get that problem as well. but for those few scenes like that it takes almost a minute on my computer. i have an athlonxp 1800+. i used to have the black background problem in project 1.5 beta. but now in 1.5 final every single background is the castle interior background. i get no other. but otherwise the game runs absolutly perfect. i can live with the same background over and over, the game runs perfect otherwise.

btw grrrrreaaat job on 1.5 final. i have had NO crashes or errors since installing it on any game.
