I just got the ATI Radeon 7500 (64MB) so I can now run Project 64.
The question I have concerns other video plugins that are available. So far I've only been able to get Jabo's D3D 6 to work. With all the other plugins I've tried (Glide64, TR64 Open GL, Daedalus Graphics, glNintendo64 and a 1964 plugin), I get yelled at by my computer. I get messages saying things like, "Combiners not supported", "Failed to load plugin Glide64.dll", and "Unable to read .ini file from disk."
Jabo's works fine for the most part. The only real problem I have while playing Zelda OOT is with the submenus. When I call up the submenus they load really slow and only after the screen goes white for a few seconds. The menus are also transparent, meaning I can still see Link and his surroundings while I have the menus up. All graphics beyond the submenus get somewhat corrupted while the menus are up too. It looks like the resolution drops and gets all pixeled and choppy-looking, but then smooths itself out when I close the submenus.
Is this a common problem, an emulation problem, a plugin problem
or a compatibility problem with the plugin and the video hardware?
Does anyone who's familiar with the Radeon 7500 know of any other video plugins that work well? I installed DirectX 9 and updated the video drivers from the manufacturer's website. Thanks for the help!
System specs:
ATI Radeon 7500pci (64MB)
MP: PentiumIII 866Mhz
256MB RAM
Windows ME
40 GB hard drive (13.2 GB free)
