Corn Problem
- Thread starter alexa999
- Start date
Is the rom shown as Mario 64 (U) [!] ? I've never used Corn, so I don't know if it uses GoodNames or not, if not check it with GoodN64. If it's a good rom (Not necessarily the (U) one, or even a [!] one, but so long as it's recognized and not an [o] or , see GoodCodes.txt)
Are you holding a button while you start it? I know this sounds stupid, but maybe pressing an arrow while hitting enter on the ROM selection screen? I know the N64 calibrates the analog stick on bootup, and I assume the emulators do the same (Or actually, I think it's coded in every game for bootup and on L+R+Start) Try pressing L+R+Start, if you can't press those three buttons at the same time on your keyboard, try mapping them further apart.
L=q
R=p
Start=Space
Or something like that, but I know on a lot of (all?) keyboards you can't press more than a few keys in a region without it thinking you are pressing an extra key or none at all. I can't remember why anymore, blocking/ghosting/whatever. Hope this helps.

It *CAN* run on 4MB, if you have a very high quality hard drive.
My point is, it will NOT install on a 386 no matter what you do. A 386 literally isn't capable of running Windows XP.
A friend of mine from the ZSNES board had XP running faster than 98SE with sufficient tweaking on a Pentium Classic, 75MHz, with 64MB RAM... but he couldn't get XP to install at all on a 486.

It's possible to run Unreal 2 on 16mb that way... isn't it playable ?
Sure. NT4 is last NT4 version which works on 386.
It requires Pentium-specific instructions or it's just installer lock ? Like 98SE will refuse to install with 8Mb of ram but it works with 8Mb...
It's interesting... What if just copy installed system to another drive and boot ?

Pretty sure it's case 1, requiring instructions that the 486 can't execute.
Normally XP's installer locks if you try to install it on a Pentium Classic, so it's cool that Soul got it running on that P75 anyway
The lowest CPU's XP will "Let" you run on, AFAIK, are Pentium 2's. I'm not sure about Pentium MMX though... don't know anyone who's tried it.

Win98 se is working excellent on my 486 (check specs in my sig below). I use dual boot, because win 95 is a lot faster.

/IM - skip memory check
/ID - skip free space check
/IN - don't load network setup module
/IS - don't load scandisk
/IQ - skip crosslinked clusters check
/IW - skip license dialog
(st00pid "i agree")
/IX - don't remember, skip something useless
/IL - for some Logitech mice
/D - ignore installed version
/IE - don't create boot floppy
/NF - don't show "Please remove floppy" message
/NM - Don't check minimum system reqs (this is it)
/IV - Don't show advertising messages (makes setup really faster)
/I P - Don't use p'n'p BIOS autoconfig
/P F - Don't use previous registry settings.
/T:[path] - temporary directory path ( /T:C:\TEMP)
P.S. Maybe move this tread to TechTalk ?

To follow your lead, I'm running Windows 2000 Professional SP3 on my P-233 with 40 MB RAM. No problems.
I dont understand it, Mario 64 dosen't have any problems on my brothers computer. And mabye it is because of the name of my rom file, it is supermario64u.rom. Should i post my brothers specs?

Well, the entire purpose of that system is so we can see what people's specs are... because 4/5 of the people who come in saying 'Why won't ***** game work in ***** emulator?' don't list their specs... and we're forced to ask for them, and then when we get them, it's usually painfully clear why things aren't working (say, integrated video or something).
I know why it's there, and when asking about problems I always restate what is relevant anyway (Every time I've seen someone rely on the specs at the bottom, I've seen a prompt reply of "Well, that's my other computer, this is the computer I really use" or something like that.) But really, I assumed it would be seen instantly as a joke..... but apparently you guys just thought I dind't know what I was talking about, heh.
