Direct64 v0.5 ALPHA

[The Khan Artist]

Here are the 2004-5-3 and 2004-5-5 versions. I've also included the latest version (2004-5-8) in this post in case it ever gets replace in the first post.

I do not have the original release, the 2004-5-2 update, or the 2004-5-4 update. If anybody has those around, please post them.

EDIT: Added the 2004-5-4 version (I hope; the date looks right), thanks BountyJedi.

Wow, so many people posting there graphical glitches don't realize that they don't meet the requirements for the plugin. There almost needs to be a big "WARNING" screen that comes up when you start a game with this plugin saying "You need to have one of the following cards or you may get errors...".



Sure you can race your hyundai, but you'll have your fair share of problems.

First off, a pixel shader 2.0 video card isn't required, thus I should at least get something.

It isn't really required , but the graphics are looking very weird with a DX7 or DX8 card .

Thanks a lot ! You really helped me out ! I really needed the 2004-5-5 release !

I thought that the graphics looking wierd problem was because of using the plugin with a DirectX 7 video card, such as the screenshot in a post that displays The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time having a problem with displaying more letters than there are supposed to be, such as "Helppppppppppppp" instead of "Help".

looks like I was wrong , I get absolutely no picture at all, its pure black, using 3.10 drivers. (using 1964, if that matters.)

H3ad5h0tter, the dreaded black screen problem apparently is caused by a bug, because Sayargh has a Radeon 9600, but the dreaded black screen problem too .

Jeah , but I get this dreaded black screen of death , too ! Most time because of these reasons :

1. Only in Banjo-tooie ( european version ) when i have simulate overscan off .

2. Completely random ! One day it runs perfect , but at the other day I get the dreaded black screen . But in this case , it could be fixed with a Driver reinstall everytime .

But I really think there are more than these 2 cases that are causing the black screen .

@Sayargh : Why you don't test if you just have the second cause of this bug ? Just install fresh drivers ( 4.6 Rulz y00 ) . A Radeon 9600 works in the same scheme like a 9800Pro , so it could work for ya , too

Ray16 had this black screen problem , too , and he could fix it with reinstalling the drivers , too . So give it a try

 

[ScottJC]

Well I just tried out Banjo-kazooie (I know this game didn't work before 4.6) it appears to work fine, 4.6 fixed the problems with jabos plugins and 32bit desktop as well for me.

 

[RJARRRPCGP]

Yup , the newest version is 4.6 now .



But I do Even lo-res Framebuffer Images Look clearer with the new drivers IMHO . And the game performance + compatibility is also improved , the OpenGL incompatibilities with emus seems to be gone . I would strongly recommend to you upgrade your graphics card , a 9800Pro costs only 200 € ATM (~180 $) .

/edit : Grrrrr.... thst plug-in stopped to work for me , again X_x
/edit2 : works again ^^

Unfortunately at the local stores, they want FVCKING ABOUT THE SAME JUST FOR A RADEON 9600 AND A LITTLE OVER $130 JUST FOR A GEFORCE 4 TI4200,
ABOUT THE SAME AS A RADEON 9500 PRO ONLINE .

Heh , it's forbidden to write in capital letters here ( capslock is eeevil ) And you'd answer that already .

I can really feel with you ! I'ts was hard to get all those computer parts , especially getting the money for it is very hard !

Ok , sorry for off-topic , but... Its a very good idea to get a small job or something to earn money . Yeah , and I had to carry out about 350 Newspapers / Advertisements / Flyers a Week X_x ! Hard job , but it pays off Around 120 € a month , thats enough for a 512 MB Corsair RAM , for example !

 

[RJARRRPCGP]

KK , some ingame screens for you ^_^

No.1 : Sin and Punishment : I get this Artifact instead of motion blur :C
No.2 : Sin and Punishment : In some cases , the screen changes to black or white :C
No.3 : Harvest moon : I get this error sometimes , but i can play further

For the error message in screenshot no. 3:

Are you using Zilmar's Basic Audio plugin?

If you are, at least if switching to full screen, then back to windowed, that error
message will randomly pop up, aparently because of a bug in Zilmar's Basic Audio plugin.

 

[RJARRRPCGP]

As of 5-08-2004 release, all titles in my tiny GoodN64 list black screen, except for Paper Mario, which just crashes the emulator. Attaching my list for convenience.

The full screen bit depth and color/depth image droplists are still broken. I see all of the other combo box controls are sized generously.

Thanks for the tip , but i don't use zimilar's or Azimer's plugin at all . Either i use Shibo's without RSP ( for compatibility ) or Jabo's + RSP ( sweet sound - low performance drain .

I don't use Azimer's , because it drains 80% (!) of my CPU Load and i don't use Zimilar's because the sound is a lil' bit crappy >_<

ive got the 5-4 version (just before optimizations right? and before simulate overscan and orkinsampling got broken)
so ill proabably post it then now
atleast its the version i think i am using =p
only using the newst when the fetures in there overweigh the needing of overscan and orkinsampling (particular games)
and the optimizations doesnt really matter cuz my card is so fast it lags more with them on =p atleast on zelda mm


(hope i uploaded the right version =p )

 

[nullroute]

What are the odds of a linux port ( just joking ). Explaination : DirectX in linux is only available under windows emulators AFAIK, which might make an interesting test of the wine/wineX projects and lead (hopefully) to a bit of a comprehensive how-to... but I highly doubt if it would work out of the box if at all.

 

[BountyJedi]

argh i cant wait waht happened to the next version? ah well =p im just hoping it comes someday and isnt aborted lain: cuz then it would be kind of boring cuz thisis the best plugin and its great
well just wondering if there is any progress =p

Direct64 is dead, the FBI has closed it down for being used to smuggle drugs around the world. If you have the right compression software you can uncompress the .dll and may find cocaine inside depending on what version it is. I think it may have been only the beta version that had the drugs in it but I'm not sure.
