I did not dump the rom myself, i do not own z64. I don't know where you got the idea that i was doing this myself. I aquired my roms through someon else, they have a site with hundreds of people on it and they the guy with z64 sends a rom to your specific account when you request. I highly doubt that he is screwing this up, because there are hundreds of people on this site and no complaints about the roms.

That is extremly unlikely, the roms plays perfectly and it comes directly from the z64 rom converter. Its not just that rom either, its all of them, i have several roms and none of them work on this particular emulator, i tend to get the same message errors with each one.

Thats where we got the idea that you got them, to quote, "directly from the z64 rom converter". If you got them off a site then they arn't directly from the dumper ;)

Doesn't mean they are bad, most likely not. If you really scanned them with GoodN64, the name should be Super Mario 64 (U) [!].z64. If its something else like Super Mario 64 (U) [b1].z64 let us know.

On a final note (this is not to make you mad, or insult you..) but I have to agree with smiff. UltraHLE was great in its time, we all wish it hadn't been cancled.. but it was. Both UltraHLE and your 3DFX card are dieing if not dead. They will live on forever but not in active use =)

You spoke before of "The Latest Voodoo Upgrade", you ment the latest drivers right?

Thinking about it, the fact that you get the same error with all your roms makes it sound like a config issue..

Yes i by that i meant the new drivers. Thank you for clarifying.

Okay I did some things to many to mention but I got it to work, sort of.

Mario works, the sound is very fuzzy, it goes extremly slow and the graphics are messed up, mario is all black, peices of the castle aren't there and so on.

Questions
Is the sound supposed to be like that
How can I fix the graphics problems

I'm honestly not sure : / Your voodoo might be part of the bad textures, but everyone else with a V3 seems to be able to run mario fine. Your specs are cool for the sound, no idea why its skipping... have you tried jabo's plugin, azimers plugin, and fiddled with options?

If i were cynical I'd think iNtRePiD were just here to waste everyone's time, or that this is some kind of joke. Is this some kind of joke iNtRePiD? Have you read all the documentation?

This is not a joke. Why would I waste my valuable time in this forum, I feel like I am talking with a wall, an arrogant, ignorant one.

Granted some people have tried to help me and I thank them for their time and effort.

The bottom line is I reached the end of my tether with this program in its current form, it has caused me nothing but grief and has wasted my time that could be better utilized.

I wish you the best of luck with your program and hope that you may someday bring it up to standard that ultra-hle had. Where a person installs it on their computer and it works.

ah. so he's not joking. I can safely cross the possibility of his joking, off the list.

btw, if this is a wind up, good one. Most people wouldn't have the nerve to take it this far :plain2:

Otherwise theres always possibilities #2,3,4:

- user has knackered PC
- user isn't configuring app properly
- bug in app :eek:

surely not the last one ;)

hmmm.. been looking under the fridge for a glide wrapper .. i wish it would just install and run for me :p ... you should not diss what you do not see . pj/1964/nemu are way beyond the so called standard you talk of .. people have tried to help you and other than thrusting a geforce based card in ya face and saying "USE THIS" i don't see what more anyone can do

Laugh, i nearly gave myself a hernia.

Roll on the day PJ is as good as ultra-hle, i mean i would much rather swap the 20 odd roms that work on ultra for the 100 + that pj 64 gives me.

Its the last option Smiff. Don't look so shocked.

I am not saying that program doesn't work, it just doen't seem to work for a vast amount of people, one of them happens to be me.

I'd rather have the 20 odd roms than the no roms that pj64 offers me.
