OK, I installed Project 64 onto my MSDN (NOT the non-working Bill Gates) x86 Vista RTM build 6000 computer.
Project 64 works absolutely fine. In fact, everything works absolutely fine. I have an ATi card. ATi can make some pretty sweet cards, but when it comes to drivers they absolutely suck--what more, ATi's Vista drivers are still beta and don't even support or work well with OpenGL.
Before, when I had XP MCE, I used the Omega Drivers. When ATi cards combine with the Omega Drivers they totally own nVidia. Unfortunately, the guy who works on those drivers hasn't started on the Vista drivers, most likely because they're still in its beta stage.
Anyways, since I don't have the Omega Drivers and I have a crappy x1600 card from Connect3d (one of the absolute worst card makers in the world) that's always been giving me trouble, Glide64 Wonder Plus doesn't work with Project 64.
And that's a real shame for me. I've always absolutely loved Glide with Gonetz's hacked version of Hacktarux's glide wrapper. Together, they gave me the best performance and graphics and nearly perfect frame buffer emulation (still had trouble with Yoshi's Story and Mario Tennis, of course).
I've never liked Rice. It's always been crashing on me (most likely because I use PJ64 and an ATi card) and is really slow on my computer. So, with Glide and Rice crossed off the list, I have to use Jabo. Again, Jabo doesn't work well. Jabo's plugin v1.6 is really buggy (so lots of times the textures are screwed up) and v1.5.2 has too many emulation errors and is really fuzzy and old and stuff.
So, I'm wondering, is there anything I can do to get better Vista drivers, or to make PJ64 work better?
