1964 problem

[Gozu33]

how do i found how many mb mine is?

Since you have a Savage, even if it had 512MB, it would still be below spec. so it doesn't matter really.

I'd suggest your follow the advice in vleespet's post at the top of this page.

An S3 Virge doesn't belong in a semi-modern PC - it's a truly atrocious card. You'll be well advised to pick up a cheap graphics card (you'll get a decent one for very little, if you want to settle for less than top of the line).

Ok i can't figure out how 2 use it and i can't find evoodoo

these are graphic plugins right? i have Glide64.dll but it doensn't show in the Change plugins place so how do i get it 2 work?

 

[Gozu33]

ok i found those 2 but how do i get them 2 1064 i got them into the plugin folder but it still doesn't show up under the plugins how do i fix this??

 

[Clements]

Get eVoodoo from:

http://www.emutalk.net/forumdisplay.php?forumid=72

...and extract it into your emulator directory.

 

[Gozu33]

what u mean extract it 2 my emulator directory??

 

[Clements]

The 1964 folder is what I mean, where the 1964 executable is located.

 

[Gozu33]

now where do i put voodoo in the same spot?

 

[Trotterwatch]

C:/1964

Put Evoodoo there

C:/1964/plugins
Put glide64 there

Of course the paths may be different for you, but the logic is the same.

 

[Gozu33]

I used Glide64 and this is what i got

did my attachment work?

 

[Gozu33]

hmm it won't work it says cant' find server
but it says No se peude alojar el buffer trasero(y the error messege was in spanish i dunno)Then i click ok and i get
Error Ucode crc not found in INI, using currently selected Ucode
5d3099f1 I click OK then
1964 is there but it says
Glide64

Gfx cannot be drawn in windowed mode
Press Alt+Enter to switch to full screen
I do that AND it trys 2 go full screen then i have 2 close it b/c it does nothing and won't respond to ne more commnands till i reopen it

I mentioned this earlier... the S3 Virge doesn't really do HW Accelerated graphics (it's very old tech), so I think you are wasting your time.

I'd be interested to see if you can get anything running well - as I suspect that OpenGL plugins sometimes can fall back to Software based GL (may be wrong though).

AFAIK your card has a whopping 2MB of memory.

:'( i really wanna play WHAHAHAHAH oh that just didn't happen none of u saw that well ok ill look into getting a new card THANKS for every1 that tried 2 help :'(

Depending on the processor you have, you have several choices. A voodoo 3 would be a vast improvement over what you have and would cost less than $25 I am sure (Ebay or something).

Is Ebay the only place to get a voodoo, because its so hard to find one these days. If it is that cheap, I would be intrested in getting one to run glide64 which is rapidly evolving into one of the best plugins now able to process hi-resolution framebuffer. Anyone know if you can get it any electronic store?

With earlier video hardware, because they don't support 32-bit color nor 24-bit color, if you don't change the Windows desktop color setting to 16-bit, you will get a video init failure error message.

 

[Trotterwatch]

That's all academic in this case though, as I said there is no way a S3 Virge will work.

 

[Gozu33]

him this is what i get for Jabo
