Mario Golf- blue sky's gone away...

[urso]

Firstly, I just want to say how great this forum is; I recently started using 1964 to play some old favorites and had problems with 10 out of 15 roms, but an hour here and I had them all working, apart from one minor glitch-

I'm using the working [!] U rom with Jabos3D8 1.6 plugin/Legacy Pixel Pipe Line activated as recommended here, along with the cheats for all courses and characters. Apart from the first 2, all the courses have a really depressing dark sky- it's like Bowser has taken over or something...

This did come up in an old post from 2001, but I'm hoping in the meantime someone has come up with a fix, graphical or cheat-wise.
thanks

specs.

pentium 4 cpu 2.80 ghz 256 mb ram, intel 82865g graphics controller- sorry if thats not what you're looking for, could you tell me where to find that info.

I'm guessing from your question that you don't have this problem- I was hoping there was a fix within the emulator or as a cheat code- if its a system thing, I guess theres nothing I can do about it.

Do not use the Direct3D8 plugin with an Intel graphics controller. It won't work right. Use jabo's Direct3D6.
Jabo's Direct3D8 uses pixel shaders to render most of the graphics and special effects. Intel's integrated chips either totally lack pixel shader support or it's implemented very poorly.

I haven't had any probs with version 8 for some reason- all the games that use it look pretty much perfect. I tried 6 anyway, but the sky is still dark. Does anyone have blue skies?- maybe its a consequence of the cheat itself rather than an emulation problem- perhaps a cheat for the weather might help?

Thanks

I came across this official code, built into the game, which unlocks all all characters and courses:

When ''Press Start'' appears at the title screen, press the following:

Down, Down, Left, Left, Left, Right, Right, Right (D-Pad for all), C-Down, C-Down, C-Left, C-Left, C-Left, C-Right, C-Right, C-Right.

- but still with the dark skies. I wonder, does anyone know if this happens on a real N64- ie its not an emulation problem at all?
