For me the fps meter is above 60 (around 64 most of the time) but it's a bit choppy, good work by the team nonetheless!

I don't use frame limit

It is indeed something else. The symptoms of copyright protection failure is when a messagebox pops up and blatently says there is a protection error. The symptom of copyright inaccuracy (like if I copied down the data wrong) would be music in the background or whatnot (usually audio lists will still be generated), but there will only be a black screen. If those are your symptoms then you may have a copyright protection error.

I have nothing to worry about crashes or stuff like that cause i got the actual catridge and console (i know it has nthing to do with what u are talking about but i dont care!)
(i know it has nthing to do with what u are talking about but i dont care!)
Noone has reported this so far so the problem isn't the copyright protection.The truth is that the game just freezes in random places (I even got a freeze on the menu) so it must be the video plugin (but lol noone seems to want to say something with certainty for this - I mean from the ppl that know).Azimer said:

I have this problem too. The annoying thing about it is that you have to quit to save, so you can't explore those biiiiig worlds very long if you want to save regularly Besides I don't trust those savestates. I already heard that they sometimes screw up your savegames ... especially with psx emulators, wonder if it's true.
I use the european version and have also another problem. The game runs at smooth 50 fps (would be even more if i'd disable frame limiter) but it looks 'not smooth', like the frames are far below ... Wonder if it has something to do with the camera in BT, cauze in BK it's just fine and the camera doesn't sway so much. Do you have this problem too? Is the US version better in this area, because it runs with 60 fps? Plz tell me your experiences

At your service, dood!
Again, this is how it is in the real thing! its not smooth how it is in reality, its not smooth in the emulator? ironic isn't it...
i've never had problems with save states, they've saved me from losing my banjo-tooie game on project 64 man a time, f5.. crashes sometimelater-maybe then reload rom and hit f7 and continue playing, i do it everytime i pick up a jiggy or went through a door, seems to work!
p.s (pj64 is not a psx emulator.. lol)

j64:Actually to make justice to the real game,I have to say that indeed the game is a little bit jerkier on PJ.This is a known issue with Banjo Kazooie too and it seems that it affects Tooie too.
As for the save states it all depends from the game.If a game has no errors then the save states will be "clean" too.But if the game has many errors then the save states will be affected in the same way.

Please ppl can you test the game like this: Load the rom and let it play the intro with the title of the game appearing (do not press anything!).Then when it will go to the first demo let it play for a little and then when the "press start" appears press immediately the start button.Ok it will go to the screen where you choose your game.Don't press anything.Ok now,what do you get?

Ok, even if it crashes, the game itself freezes and the emulator is locked. You should then exit via F12, if done so the game should be saved after the last location you entered.

Found a solution to the problem.
I think those pauses and crashes are the same. I mean, when the game pauses it seems like the cpu just has too much to do, even if i don't know yet if it is cause by the video plugin or not. Sometimes when it pauses, it just freezes.
To solve this: If BT freezes hit F2 to pause the emulation - wait some seconds - press F2 again and voila, the emulation goes on and you can advance in the game
Please test if it works for you too.

yeah i know what you mean ancientblade, i made a thread about that so to speak, i said how if you leave the game on for a few mins it will resume but then later on i left it on again and it turns out that the game isn't pausing for a long time it actually froze

The freezing problem in Banjo-Tooie with the JacobD3D6 video plugin is due a DirectDraw error - " Error 0x887601C2 - Error deleting zbuffer attachment". Check out the file called DirectDraw6 Error.log in the main Project64 folder. The freezing doesn't happen with the earlier DirectX 7 plugin. I suspect it's because it's a DX6 plugin being run under DirectX 8.1b (in my case) which is causing the problems.
Does anyone else have problems with a semi-transparent box appearing around Banjo and Kazooie in the game? It's mildy annoying but I've not seen any other posts about it so it may be just my machine. My Disabling Internal Geometry I can get the shadow to appear under B&K but the box is still there!

I don't get those driect draw errors or other problems, it runs just fine for me. There are only those pauses some times, which aren't so bad because the game doesn't crash.
