pause problem

[vyder]

hey guys..i have done a search on this and havent found out any viable info on this problem that i am having. when i am playing zelda or resident evil on project 64 sometimes i need to be able to pause the game and switch to a different application. i press the pause button on my keyboard and in the bottom left hand corner it says cpu paused..but the game is still running! so with that said i switch to another application such as the volume control to adjust the volume, and upon return to project 64, i see that it has frozen.

this also happens within pj64 when i want to save a game as a certain name. i go into the menu, go save as.... save the game and when i come back to the game...it has frozen. so in effect i can only have one savegame.

can someone please help me?

ShinjiIkari (or anyone) could you point me to the thread wher this is already discussed please... i've forgotten what it was about :whistling:

why for u make fun of me . i did a search on it before posting, and it isnt only zelda...its other roms as well. :nuke:

 

[ShinjiIkari]

Sorry, I didn't read your entire post. I thought you were complaining about the pause delay in Zelda: OoT. I didn't mean to offend you, sorry~

Perhaps you shouldn't pause the game when you change the application. Use the automatic pause.

it also happens with the auto pause...

what i did was go into advanced options and turned off the auto pause option...seems to work fine now !@
