I recently downloaded project64 ver 1.6 and it’s a really good emulator. I got a couple of roms and they work and it’s all good. But I have a few questions about graphics.
Firstly, on the graphics options unchecking the “hide advanced settings” doesn’t seem to reveal anything that isn’t already on show. How can I see the advanced settings?
Also on a couple of games (Banjo Tooie and F Zero X) the text and some graphics seem to be all pixelated, more so than I think they are on a genuine N64. This was most noticeable on F Zero where all the character profile pictures were crappy, but I know F Zero had crappyer than normal graphics to make it run faster. The best example is on Banjo Tooie where all white text is pixelated – basically the graphics are perfect except for white in game text which is blocky and not as good as the real thing.
Is there some way I can get rid of the pixely graphics, will the graphics be better if I play the emulator on a TV screen, or is some graphics appearing pixelated just the way emulated games will appear?
The last thing I wanted to know about was a sort of freezing in the game. The game freezes for like a microsecond making it look like it’s jumped, like when a CD skips. Is this my PC or is this something I should just expect with an emulator?
Other than that Project64 is amazing and I think all the people who helped make it are really super!
