Direct64 v0.5 ALPHA

[knowitman]

What version of the drivers are you using?

What's the problem? All I get is a black screen, but I can hear the game that I'm running going.

Thats an old problem , in most cases , its fixed when you reinstall/upgrade your drivers ( USE 4.6 ! It rocks ! ) . But some ppl can't get it to work even when they make this .

All this problems don't happens with my card (GFFX5600).

Nor do I. Infact all the games he mentioned run PERFECTLY for me. Far more so than with any other plugins I've run. I have a Geforce FX 5900XT 128MB. I use the 61.32 driver set.

My nvidia drivers version is 56.72! Maybe i should upgrade to 6x.xx! :huh:
But if i can remember when i download the direct64, it didn't showed these errors (at least the intros probs, because the banjo i hadn't tried it yet). Maybe it should be this which mentioned knowitman (Z-Buffer) because it is not forced enabled, it is enabled when a app or a game needes it. And if i am right this is a bug of the plug-in which can't enable it. I'm planning to do a registry hack and if i have a success i'l post the *.reg file here. :bouncy:

I haven't tried the 56.72 drivers yet, but I use the 56.64 drivers with no errors in the games supported by the plugin. Give those drivers a try.

Ok, i don't mind these errors with the intros because the game is running straight away without visual probs. But this with Banjo wich you cannot see underwater is really annoying. I checked banjo-tooie and it has the same problem plus a problem with shadows. Anyway Orkin we are waiting a realese pleaseee!!!

omg! after countless efforts I finaly got zelda working!
no matter what I did I could not get this game to work right, but with this plugin its damn nearly flawless. I don't have a ss, but the only problem I can see is alot of the torches and fires look like black smoke. other then that this game is perfect, I'm running a GF4600ti.

I formatted and reinstalled windows yesterday and now the plugin won't work. The config box won't pop up no matter how many times I try to open it. I remember that a few pages back somebody found out why this happens and that Orkin agreed with him and said it would be fixed in the next release. Is there any way to get around this so I can use it without having to wait for the next release?

I can finally give a good comment on this plugin because the settings box now works :happy:. It's a very nice plugin. I don't even have any flame problems in zelda, yet I run a GeForce 3, and dredwing has a GF4TI4600 and he has flame problems. Strange. Maybe it's the drivers I'm using. I'm using Forceware 61.34 and DirectX 9.0c.

I don't recall Catalyst 4.6 being anything to have euphoria over. BTW, it seems that Catalyst 3.2 and 3.1 are fine for my video card, a Radeon 9000 Pro, which isn't even a pixel shader 2.0 video card, it's in the same league as the Radeon 8500. Catalyst 4.6 probably is the best for you because you have a Radeon 9800 Pro video card .

are there new ati catalyst drivers ? im using 4.4 drivers and dx9.0b (some1 here said tney used 9.0c) when i get home later today im going to dl them dx64 might work even better

 

[-Shadow-]

are there new ati catalyst drivers ?

Yup , the newest version is 4.6 now .

I don't recall Catalyst 4.6 being anything to have euphoria over.

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 ^^

 

[olivieryuyu]

hmm ...

Orkin, i don't want to be impatient but could you give us few information about the progress of this fantastic plugin ? Thanks a lot and take the time to do a new release

 

[RJARRRPCGP]

Yup , the newest version is 4.6 now .

Unfortunately, there's *NO WAY* I can afford a Radeon 9800 Pro video card,
because *I DON'T* have anywhere near $200 dollars .

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.

 

[riles9262]

Plugin works great for me, a tad slow sometimes. Problems so far: banjo tooie: shadow on banjo is white with a big black square around it. Antialiasing only works by putting on orkinshadowing in the options. All else seems perfect

 

[BountyJedi]

perfect plugin for me too!!

 

[BountyJedi]

when is next release?!?!?! i cant wait =P

well neway thx for the best looking gfx plugin ever

Is there any way to get older releases of the plugin ? It's because in the actual version some stuff ( like simulate overscan ) is broken .
