Hi,

Do you know do how to change de Mhz for adjust the speed?

ex. : 450Mhz to 800Mhz or 800Mhz to 1.2Ghz

please!!!,

thanks ;)

you shouldnt post the same topic twice...... anyway you cant do that unless you have got a powerful fan and know how to overclock..... get an athlon XP 2000 & a new motherboard, shouldnt be much more than 100 bucks, well worth the money ^_^

Do you mean overclocking? That could be done through various ways depending on the motherboard and the bios. Youd have to first check to see if its even possible with what hardware your running. 400 to 800 is kinda high chances are you wouldnt be able to overclock that much without some major cooling device. I recomend the following.

1) Do some research on the hardware you have to find out how you would go about overclocking your system.
or...
2) Save your time and effort and just spend 150 bucks and by a mobo and cpu combo off of pricewatch.com

My suggestion is the second option.

ok thank.
I try to run Zelda and I have problem with the sound. The sound stutter/skip/crackle/crack!!!...and I see this :


Are you running the game at the correct speed*? If the answer to this question is no, and you are below the correct speed, you have a performance problem, not an audio problem. If the answer to this question is no, and you are above the correct speed, you have almost certainly turned off the speed limiter (system menu, shortcut: F4) and must turn it back on in order to get good audio.

The first thing to understand is what speed to expect from Project64 - as a rough guide, the following specifications should be just fast enough for each game at full speed with the default configuration:

Mario64 - P2-450Mhz
Zelda - Athlon 800Mhz
Perfect Dark - Athlon 1.2Ghz


now, I don't think ... But I want to find a solution(I want to play to Zelda with sound)!!!

...sorry for my english and for the double-post

ciao.

I think you could only get a few Mhz more from your processor. A more or less secure overclock is the one around 10% of your processor speed. so if your processor is 450Mhz, you may increase it to 500 if you have luck. Something higher would requiere something to cool your cpu. It will be impossible also to rice from 450 to 800, because you'll have to mess up with the front side bus speed of your motherboard, and that's something harder to accomplish.

Anyone knows if Corn runs Zelda? If it does that's something Akum420 could try out (i think)

yep, corn 0.3 does zelda, not too well though, if you want sound, its gunna be hard, jus use ultrahle 2064 with a direct X or opengl plugin, should get a decent speed

Spend $100 and get a mobo with the Tb-B Athlon XP 1700+, change to multiplier to 12.5 and you are good to go :)

Or u could mod your processor (risky) and make the mobo think its an Athlon 2400+ giving you access to even higher multipliers :happy:

If you got cash to spare, you might want to get some more ram and maybe a new graphics card (ATI 128 is not very good for N64 emulation or any 3d games for that matter)
 
Celerons are excellent to overclock. For the best performance use a good cooler, and overclock it ~40%, and mostly it will work good.

yeah but celerons are budget processors dont forget, you wont get too much performence on these, get an athlon XP with a Gigabite kt400 motherboard they include many tools to overclock your processor, its very handy and still wont break the bank, shouldnt cost much over 100$

big thank everyboby!

I have trying "Corn 0.3" and "Ultrahle64 1.03" . Corn crash all the time but Ultrahle64 is nice. The graphic and speed is very good... just litlle problem with sound again. I don't have acces to "configure audio plugin".
Each 2 second, the sound is cut. I change some audio and cpu options (settings mode) for best result but now, when I start the game, the moon is black and I have a beard on my face(the heroes of Zelda)!!!

I'm sure I can run this game with my small Pentium 2. I'm new in this domain and I don't have a very good english but I want to learn.

next time.

Yeah i have the same problem. Never got it run in my new pc.

Maybe you need to download some audio plugins. Go to the Emulation64 webpage, look for audio plugins, download some and give them a try. Azimer's and Jabo's plugins should give the best sound (but i don't know how the speed will be).

And i think you can run smoothly zelda on a pentium ~ 450, at least i could with the original ultrahle.
