Problem with Zelda OoT and Kirby. Not the same as always.

Zelda: Some text fails to show up:

As you see, "Please select a file" is completely black.

In this pic, "Put Away" is black. The same happens with every message or number in the button signs.

Finally, when I enter the Lost Woods, and do some walking, I get this error

I tested it in two different ROMs. Nothing severe, according to some FAQs this road just sends me back to the entrance. But what if appears elsewhere?


Now with Kirby... When I get to Waddle Doo I get this error:

Access Violation

While processing graphics data an exception occurred
you may need to restart the emulator

And it dies. Damn, I want to play this game. I use Jabo's Direct3D8 1.6.

UPDATE: I changed to Jabo's Direct3D6 1.5.2 and I got this

Besides, some textures are in black and white and the enemies are semitransparent.

My computer specs:
CPU: Pentium 4 2.26GHz
RAM: 512MB (actually 480 as a fraction goes to video memory)
Graphics Adapter: S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR
OS: Windows XP SP2

Most of the graphics problems are due to the ProSavage video card. You'll need a better video card, preferably one that is DX9 compliant.

Lost Woods glitch: Change the Self Modifying Code Method to Change Memory & Cache.

Kirby: Use Mupen64, validate rom with GoodN64, disable any cheats if you have them on, do not load from a save state etc.

Tried the Kirby solution, but it's unplayable due to slowness (glN64_v0.4.1.dll plugin). Any plugins that might work?

I would buy a better video card. ProSavage cards are very old and very bad for gaming.

I would buy a better video card. ProSavage cards are very old and very bad for gaming.

Even the Project64 manual considers the Savage cards to be below minimum requirements.

You'll need at least an Intel 82852/82855 chip to run everything correctly, but trust me, graphics cards are heaven compared to chips.
