Hi, im trying to play my copy of paper mario in my PC, but im having some issues. I know GC emulation is complicated, and i am not expecting perfect results ofcourse, but want to see the best the emulator can do with this game, so i was wondering about the best configuration to play the game. Im having some issues with soud(very choppy, no music), and graphics(big pixels), these two I dont mind much, but i wouldnt mind fixing them up if i could :). the real problem is conserning speed, its either too fast with dynarec(40-90 fps) or too slow without(10 fps), and im getting a crash at the beginning of the game. So is any of this fixable/improveable?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My pc:
Vista Ultimate 64x
Vostro 1700
Intel doublecore 2 2.0 Ghz
2 GB ram
Nvidia geForce 8600M GT

ok, sorry, i just browsed a bit in the forums, and found the answer to the speed issue, no fix :). still, im still wandering about the best configuration to play the game/get sound, if someone care to give me a hand, or tell me about their experiences with this game.
Has someone managed to finish the game?

PS there s another bug i get which makes the game unplayable :(, which are random gamefreezes, somtimes timpli the continue prompt doesnt apear, and u get stuck in a cutscene, any tips/fix for this?

Had you read some more topics, you'd know that most games do not have sound, and there is no way to fix said issue. Most freezing issues also fall into the "can't be fixed" category.

hmmm, i see, thx for the fast answer, but concerning the freezing issues, i realised after experimenting a bit that setting the emulate syscall setting on reduced the freeze frequence drastically. are there any reports of someone getting far in the game with the emulator, or some defined best" settings for preformance?

This emu sux right now.. dunno why ppl try to play running games, it's useless, at least for now.
No need to be that harsh! It's a great start and only started as a proof of concept (like many emulators) but with its 1.03 releases it shows, that it can do much more. SOme guys also only want to rip textures, etc, instead of playing games.
So next time, try to be a little bit more friendly!
