Oh PLEASE.
The whole Xbox "Scene", is a farce. A scene whereby STOLEN MS Xbox SDK is used, along with illegal mod chips and illegally hacked bios code.
The scene is full of whiners and whingers, that just WANT, WANT, WANT, WANT. NEVER give anything back.
One only has to look at the GPL violations going on, and the lack of releasing any source code, only in spits and spats.
The whole Final Burn Alpha source, and ports to finalburnxxx, is a good example of the complete and utter disrespect given to emu authors, and their code. Jan Klaassen, asked for the porters of HIS code to stop adding hacked games, and more modern games. But, as usual, he was told to F - off, and they'll continue to add them, anyway.
Don't release your source code, guys. I love your emulator, and have the utmost respect for you guys. You won't get ANY respect over at the xbox scene forums, only whining from those who THINK you should release it.
All the respect seems to only go to those who "Port" your code, and not the much deserved respect to you guys who've spent YEARS, not WEEKS, coding.
And to Poobah, STOP the whining, for the love of god.
If you really must play N64 games, then use your flippin PC. It's superior to using an Xbox, and you don't have to keep dealing with it's limited specs.

I do use my 'flippin PC' to play N64 games. You're talking to me as if I've been whining throughout the thread for an Xbox port. All I did was mention that it could die like it (apparently) did at 1.5, and then agreed with Zilmar's statement about the release of the source being good for porting.
If you're paranoid about legal issues (which makes it strange that you're at an emulation forum) and believe there's too much disrespect, then go and have a cry about it rather than attempting to hijack this feedback forum.
EDIT: And might I mention that modifying the BIOS is not illegal, nor is adding in a 'mod-chip'.
Go away, get your facts straight, and learn to be less ignorant. Then come back.

To be fair, Emulation isn't illegal Poobah - using stolen SDKs to port an emulator is 
Anyways back on topic from now on.

One problem I've always had with Project 64 is that schibo's audio plugin only works in certain games with it. This seems to happen with a few other audio plugins such as azimer's .40 one. For example, DK64's sound doesn't work with schibo's, while it does work with Azimer's .55.

No, I know my FACTS, as does most people who have a brain.
I'm sorry to the mods, didn't mean to go off topic, but when ever the desperate Xbox owners keep bringing it up in PC emulation forums, it annoys the hell out of me.
Back on topic, it's a great release. It never ceases to amaze me how good this emulator is. Certainly up there with the best of the best emulators like MAME, ePSXe, WinUAE, Magic Engine, etc...

Thank you very much
Thank you very much for the help Trotterwatch, Arnalion and RadeonUser concerning the problems I was experiencing with 1080 Snowboarding and Perfect Dark in the new 1.6 release.
After some further testing and applying the given tips, I must conclude that it's my lesser graphical hardware that is to blame for the problems at hand. Thankfully switching to Jabo's 3D6 1.5.2 completely remedies the 1080 Snowboarding problem on lesser hardware.
Switching to Jabo's 3D6 1.5.2 for Perfect Dark makes the game run silky smooth, but as you know : no CamSpy etc. in version 1.5.2. But I'm not complaining !
Also happy to report that these are the only two games that seem to be experiencing problems on lesser hardware, for all other games tested seem to run fine. This is surely a great testament to the programming skills of the developers involved on this project (being able to emulate the N64 at full speed on lower end PC hardware)
P.S. Still utterly amazed and rendered speechless by this new release ! :happy:

Framebuffer on ATI cards is a known issue (check Rage3d.com known issues in the Catalyst forum).
The lucky part is you don't often need to use the option, for Pokemon Snap I believe you can turn it off in game, and put it on for the pictures.

I'm thrilled to see this release of PJ64. It's very nice to see some of my favorite games running at a full 60 FPS with minimal slowdowns as well. Very nice to see the Nintendo 64 emulation segment is still very much alive and kicking. Hopefully this won't be a final release :canadian:

@ devs, re: source releasing
how hard do you estimate porting it to Linux would be? (eg, how extensively is windows-specific stuff used?)
I might give it a try, would be a good learning experience at any rate... but would like to know whether there's any point in even trying first. I don't know anything about emulation (otherwise I'd probably just work on mupen64), but could probably cope with porting...
(and, of course, it all depends on your willingness to release the source...)

I haven't looked at the source, so I have no idea. However, one of the programmers of Audio Overload(a multiplatform music emulator for NSF, SPC, etc) who is also a MAME dev had this to say when he looked at the source of 64th note to add support for USF to the program:
