well...this is a good topic..I have two problems with two different roms...The 1st is with the rom Paper Mario 64 (E): after the conversatio between Peach and Twink (the little star) cames an error...Error "Cache failed to translate:20" with the emulator Project 64 1.6....the 2nd problem is with the rom Mario Tennis 64 (U): I have graphic glitches, in the replay and in the impact of the ball....I don't know when I am using a lob or slice or top....In my Nintendo 64 when I use slice the ball turns blue and with top red...and with lob a star appeard in the place im using....what the problem? Thanks!

well with mario tennis go to options - configure graphics plugin - and select force alpha blending, use direct 3d transformation pipeline & use legacy pixel pipeline. That will solve 95% of the graphics problems with mario tennis and it will now play at full speed. as for paper mario, which graphics plugin are you using and with what settings? it could also be a bad dump

Thanks for the 1st problem! For the 2nd...Im using Jabo's Direct3D8 1.6....and the rom is Paper Mario (E) (M4)......maybe is the rom....

Sorry for doubleposting but with Mario Tennis I do what you said and the FPS get lower...than before and I have the same glitches like before.....so that for me don't work.....I have a P4 2,6Ghz S3 Prosavage DDR Windows ME....

I wouldn't expect much with an S3 video card...

Update your video card drivers, but I doubt it'll change much. You're better off using the D3D6 plugin.

So, I've used Textures on my PC (running WIndows XP) and I decided to move it to my laptop (running Windows 200 Professional), so I did a clean install on my laptop and moved the Rice plugin files from my Desktop's PJ64 folder to my laptop's via external hardrive. But whenever I go to settings I get a series of warnings and Rice's plugin doesn't show up in the drop-down menu. The warnings are:

I installed Clemments' Unofficial update and uninstalled and reinstalled Project64 to no avail, is the Rice Plugin Compatable with Windows 2000? Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Thank you in advance.

You need to update DirectX.

Well everything works....until I finish loading my game. My Emulator speed drops to 2.31FPS and then the emulator freezes

Gday, Im just woundering what nintendo 64 emulation and pj64 in general does for time simulation. You see im having a problem with harvest moon 64 (you can see much more game then in the gba versions) by the time I pick 5 weeds in the first day 2 hours have gone. the time it takes to walk to the ranch its afternoon. As you might guess (even if you ahvnt played) this is fast. I think it has something to do with the amount of frames its passing but im not sure. Other non time based games seems to run fine.

So to Sum up: Is there a way to slow down pj64, is there a real time clock simulation in it? and finally is time simulation currently based on fps (thus can I limit fps?)

This is a great thread

Anyways when playing online with Goldeneye between me and my friend whoever creates game gets to control their player, while the other has no control, anyway to overcome this?

I am having trouble at using the joystick buttons for my keyboard

the joystick buttons on my keyboard are up, down, left, and right buttons below the Delete,End, Page Down buttons

so my problem is I can't taunt my opponent in the N64 game called WWF: No Mercy, I always press the directional buttons on my keyboard to taunt but nothing happens. How do I fix this? and the other buttons work except the joystick button for my keyboard.

Excuse me but, this thread is pointless.

If people have questions, they'll post a thread relating their problems. Asking dozen of different questions on a same thread will make this a mess. If you feel you're able to help, reply those threads. No needs of making a huge and chaotic thread like this one.
