hmmm, perfect dark was one of my favourite games when i had the n64. downloaded it and got all exited, but just to find the the expansion pack, and details of perfect dark load, but after the screen is black, the title and non of the game dont load. i can hear all the sounds in the background...sounds the same as the game. now i have a feeling it has something to do with graphics...do i need an add on plug in?? someone please help me....especially if this has happened to you and you figured it out.

use tr64 opengl v .86 for your video plugin. Otherwise the game sucks.
edit:
I'm too short and to the point, I guess...
Aight.
Use tr64 opengl v.86. It allows the camspy to work, as well as emulating a LOT of other things in PD that most plugins don't. I'm not sure if you use RSP or not, but I know that without using Ice's plugin, the game barely runs or looks crappy.

thanks all, i got perfect dark running really well. I hate to keep asking, but its only the sound left to configure...what do you suggest for perfect dark and other games with 1964? me sound seems to jump and fuzz at times with the default one, but i cant find a better one.

Jabo's doesn't emulate the camspy or some other very important things in PD. As for sound, there are a lot of options. In all honesty, the best sound I've ever gotten (and this is going to sound rather odd) was using mupen64. I set it up with the rsp doing LLE through Azimer's .50b2 then the emulator processing that through Jabo's directsound 1.5. That may not work for everyone, though. I hate sound w/n64 emulation in general. Schibo suggests enabling RSP to process alists, and then using the 1964 sound plugin.

Jabo's may not emulate the camspy lens effect, but it is the most usable. Even glN64() emulates the lens effect, but you can't see anything, so you can't use it properly! Icepir8s looks weird for me. Also, Jabo's is the fastest. If glN64() was faster or I had a better gfx card/processor, I'd use that.

The worst thing about PD is that it hangs sometimes if you complete a level (at least it does for me in PJ64).
