Legend of Zelda

[Lestatz]

Hi All,

I use to be logged on here, and completely forgot my password, so I had to start from scratch. In either case, I haven't been playing any games in a while on my PC as I have been busy with wedding stuff, but while I was away, I got to beat all the SNES and NES Zelda games on my handheld emulators. So now I want to move on to the N64 games. So, I have 3 questions:

1) Should I start out playing OoT or should I start with OoTtMQ?
2) What would be the best pluggings for me to use with this setup:
- Atholon Gig
- 1 Gig of Ram
- Radeon 9000
- Sound Blaster Live
3) Where can I catch up on any new pluggins that maybe have come out. Is EmuXHeaven still fine or is it out of date?

Emultalk's plugin forum has all the latest plugins, start with OoT, use 1964 with the new rices video, n-rage input, and schibos audio, you could also use Direct 64 which displays OoT amazingly well. Hope this helps you out, good luck emulating.

Direct 64 is the best plug-in ever for Zelda OoT, makes a perfet emulation (or nearly perfect),i connect the PC in an TV and is exactly the same as N64

Thanks Guys,

I got it working, even though it was a bit of a pain. Had to update everything and either windows xp sucks, or the ATI Drivers are horrible. Everytime I installed the ATI drivers they would not install properly, so I would have to uninstall the device, and have windows automatically detect it and install the drivers properly, needless to say that was not fun to find out, and took too much time.

But I am fully updated and enjoying Zelda, so thanks again!

I have a couple additional question. I don't have a N64 controller, but I am using a USB 2 PS adapter I bought at Radioshack. It works really great, however, I can't figure out how to get the emulator to use the rumble feature on it. So I was wondering, does 1964 support other controller rumble features, or only if it detects a N64 Rumble Pak installed? Secondly, is there a good USB to N64 Adapter out there that I could get. I remember a long time ago I saw one, but never bought it. Thanks for all help.

I personally use the Adaptoid. It is really great. It supports rumble and memory card with if you use the special drivers for it. Other then that it uses the default windows drivers and works with pretty much any N64 controller. I bought mine from Martin. He had the best prices.

Yeah, but from what I can tell the adaptoid is looooong gone, so I was looking for something similar and can't seem to find anything.
