ATI Radeon 9000 with Rice's 5.4.3b plugin

[Sinagoth]

to start of great work on the plugin rice =D
but i seem to be running into a few problems. The game runs perfect but i get flickering textures that disappear and reappear when the screen moves as in when i run around, etc. I'm using the "to fit your card" combiner which was the default setting for the plugin and i currently have ATI Catalyst 4.2 drivers installed. i also have directX 9.0b installed as well. If anyone could i would like some help as to solving this annoyance.

(P.S. other than this the game runs perfectly smooth with no slowdown what so ever and i dont have any other problems)

I have this on a couple of games - I use Pixel Shader combiner though. Any specific examples of games this happens on for you?

 

[Sinagoth]

so far its only happening on the banjo tooie and i wanna play it so bad lol

ive also tried other combiner modes but neither seems to fix this annoyance. As you stated ive tried the pixel shader combiner and i still get those flickering textures when i move around. perhaps there is a default setting i must change within my driver settings for my card that could possibly clear this up.

Just checked I get those probs too (like the waterfall will have glitching textures). Changing settings doesn't seem to help too much :/

Perhaps play using Jabos graphics for the time being.

awww rats lol. jabo's 1.5.1 lags every now and then after a while when i play and sometimes it just stops all together and the game freezes up and then the emu locks up and i cry cuz i didnt save my game but have a sigh of relief when the game auto saved for me.

In that case, get glN64 and use that

 

[Sinagoth]

ah well ive already tried glN64 before and i get all white for textures and a gray box around banjo's lower half and other than that i can perfectly see enemies and other people. since jabo's and Rice's work really good ill just switch between the two and weigh the differences out till i can decide on a temporary one to use until either jabo or Rice releases a new plugin ^_^

 

[Trotterwatch]

If you turn HW Framebuffer on in GL64 the textures become fine. Though oddly there is indeed a box around Banjo for me - can't remember that being there before.

/forget the above, just checked it with the 4.2 GL file rather than the ATI 3.7 one I was using previous (just for this plugin). Absoloutely hopeless with 4.2 sadly, the new (unreleased) version works fine though with 4.2 apparently.

 

[Sinagoth]

hmmm well thanks for the help trotter =D. im glad someone else out there has been experiencing similar problems and better yet is a moderator which is a double brownie points for future ideas and fixes to be implemented in both the core and the plugins for these emulators.

this the banjo-tooie shadow problem..... old problem that Rice and Jabo corrected in his plugins...

 

[Trotterwatch]

Proves just how much I play this game doesn't it

 

[Nighty0]

all i can say that game is better than banjokazooie.........

 

[Sinagoth]

woot opengl render engine with the open gl 1.4 combiner fixed ALOT of the flickering textures for me on my radeon 9000 card.

*edit* i take that back now the water gets different transparencies and its gets bright and then gets dark every now and then

I have the same card, strangely when I set perfect dark to wide video settings, the game stops glitching madly indicating this is an easy problem to fix
