cant get crazy taxi to run.. ?

[legoman666]

Ive seen that most people have had a lot of luck with it, yet I can't even get the game to boot, whether its shrunk or not doesnt make a difference. It just loads a black screen and it never shows the fps. help?

 

[Eyedentity]

Ye , same ere m8 , if you wait youll see you can press the play button try that , doesnt work with me though tried to shrink it to , nothink
UPDATE : I found how it works before starting go to emulation and select interpreter itll havo to work

 

[Strange]

Actually it works with dynarec too...

legoman, what kind of hardware are you running (PC wise that is...)? Is your video card up to snuff (capable of handling it, I keep forgetting how many countrys check out these posts)?

 

[legoman666]

AMD 3200+
9700 pro
768mb ram
dual wd raptors in RAID 1
5x120gb
1x160gb
2x80gb
1x40gb

should be good enough i think.

Holy shat! The guy has 1.560 terabytes of hard drive space!

You build the rig yourself? Are the video drivers right? Directx 9b installed? Have you tried bot Dynarec and Interpreter? (I know it shouldn't matter, it runs both ways, but maybe that might give us some kind of clue)

yes to all the questions

not quite, the formatted capacity of all of them is around 940gb. the unformatted capacity is about 1033.4gb.

 

[Vegetable]

Whoa, I thought it was a typo! What do you need all that space for anyway?

 

[legoman666]

um.... heheh, i have over 250gb of anime... like 120gb of games, around 30gb of movies, and like 20gb of GC roms...

not telling anyone where i got all the stuff tho

 

[Vegetable]

20 gb of gc isos? Man, you either have bought a lot of games, or are spending too much time pirating stuff.

Well im not one to judge, but seeing as how he said Gamecube "roms"... typical n00bish remark, no offense, it probably wouldnt too hard to assume what most of you would probably assume.. But he didnt say anything about how he acquired them or where or such so as long as that is kept under wraps on his part , then thats his bussiness.

Just to clear things up. Roms are generally Rom dumps, more or less likey dumped from a chip based cartridge or such. Modern console games that are CD,DVD, etc based, are Disc Images or ISO's would be the generic term most people would use. It seems all too common for people these days to associate "roms" with emulators reguardless of the format/media type.

I'm also having trouble running Crazy Taxi... meh I'm not crying myself to sleep about it! Probably a corrupt ISO or something is the problem.

 

[Vegetable]

What is with people like you Animeartist? Rom stands for read-only-memory not only-cartridge-based-games.

 

[romsman]

rom aka read only memory is a file storage type of your pc, i think that a rom (a game for another system on your pc) stands for something else

 

[Trotterwatch]

Nope ROM still stands for the same be it on the cartridge or on the PC.

 

[Vegetable]

Yeah, I mean, it's like calling a dvd a cd, they look similar, but cds were out before, so dvds must be cds!

 

[Clements]

Technically they should probably be called 'Images' anyway.
