RDB WIP-download improved files & help test PJ64 game compatibility please!

(that stands for Rom DataBase Work In Progress).
OK some of you may remember this from years ago but i'll run through it again:

How this works:
I post an RDB.
We ask you to play games! All games, but paying particular attention to those listed below, because they've recently had settings changed.
We listen to feedback, make more changes, I post another RDB.
We all test some more...
etc.
When we're happy it gets released as an official update :)
(although already it's likely to be much more accurate than the one included in v1.6, so we'd recommend the beta now for all users!)

Who should give feedback please:
Only people with some PJ64 experience should really participate in this (we don't want issues relating to bad ROMs, your system, other plugins or anything else that's distracting). thanks in advance, i try to credit fixes to the finder!
Please make sure you are using the latest version of these files before you post! Some people are reporting errors that were fixed long ago. Thanks

How to test:
Use only Project64 v1.6, Jabo D3D8 1.6, Dsound 1.6, Dinput 1.6, included 1.6 RSP.
default settings.
If an option in the emulator config fixes something, it's not considered an issue. However, if this instruction isn't in the GameFAQ, please report so we can add it!
See where the browser info and your experience don't match.
Post in this thread with as much detail as possible please.
Screenshots and states may be useful.
Make sure you can recreate the issue please.


Code:
ROM Database (Project64.rdb) for v1.6 (this update: August 2006)
Changes since v1.6 release (1st April 2005)

also much credit to: Gent, Radeon, Trotter, Witten, SGi, Nekokabu
and everyone who gives feedback on the ET forum, thank you all!

*I think the average PC is now fast enough to turn this off in the RDB.
(i've known for a long time that ABL Off was smoother in the Zeldas, but loses perhaps 20% speed).
If your machine is not fast enough to maintain 60Vi/s, probably a good idea to turn it back on.
Some chance this affects stability, as not as many people have been playing them with ABL Off.


-------------
(1.6 release)
------
//EOF

RDB will now be posted to main site here.

Rename Project64.rdb in your v1.6 install folder (to e.g. Project64-v16release.rdb), then extract this one to that folder, overwriting the GameFAQ. You can then, if you need to, compare between the original rdb and the new one by swapping the files around. If you get confused, see Help > About INI files to check which version you're using!

Settings will always be applied but refresh the ROM Browser (shortcut F5 or File menu) after changing RDB to see changes to Status and Notes.

Please note the new GameFAQ will open to an error page (not found) in PJ64 1.6 - this is a fault with the app, sorry, it's cosmetic only. don't report please.

The self-modifying code for Zelda OoT should be set to Change Memory and Cache. I tried digging up the thread where it was discussed most recently (after the release of 1.6), but it seems to have vanished into the ether.

There's a crash when exiting the Lost Woods, but only when you first walk through the left doorway (where the chap is playing the pipe) and then backtrack to the exit. It's an oddball occurance, and many will never see it, but it's there nonetheless. :)

thanks Allnatural, we need to discuss this
it was originally on Check Memory & Cache, then when Check Mem Advance got implemented Zil told me to put Zelda OoT on it (iirc).
are you sure the rest of Zelda OoT is stable on Change Memory & Cache?
that's very significant if it is :)

heh, no. I think I may have played through the Deku Tree dungeon without problems, but beyond that is anyone's guess.

I think enough people have reported the crash though to at least warrant a note in the GameFAQ. :)

Quest 64 (U) / Holy Magic Century (E) still has problems with both of Jabo's video plugins (the main character's cape has wrong color). Tested with a GeForce 2 MX (don't know about other cards).

aha, this is a good time to say, if you're going to do a post like that, which is good, please attach a pic of what you see, and ideally a pic of what you should see (googling the game often works).

I see it's using pixel shaders 1.1+ on the cape.. which you don't have on a GF2MX.. so it's hardware issue sorry.
you can't select d3d device any more in d3d8 plug, i need to find out if there;s an easy way to get reference rasterize going now so people can confirm themselves if issue is system related.

At your service, dood!
Just to point out:

Star Wars - Shadows... 5 [mixed] changed var settings (CF2, Only per frame) for better performace. still not great. (E) flickers worse on Only per frame. needs testing

That's not done for better performance, its done to remove the flicker from the (U) rom and it pretty much does for me, as for (E) I never tested it. I think I changed CF because the game was running at an incorrect speed (too fast).

I'd suggest you buy a cheap radeon 9200 (it has pixel shader support) because that Geforce 2mx will always be a bottle neck for your system.

For Quest 64, Forcing Alpha blending gets rid of the Pink around the text and other stuff to make it look like it should, but the characters' heads and other stuff become transparent with the option enabled. No setting appears to fix this issue.

Misc RDB issues:

-Doom 64 (all regions) says (see GameFAQ) but there is no entry.

-F-ZERO X is misnamed (according to GoodN64 2.02a it's all caps now)

-Hey you, Pikachu (all variants) ought to say [input] (see GameFAQ) since the entry is there explaining the issue.

-Kirby 64, health bar is a core issue AFAIK, works in Mupen64, so should have that as a core note, not a video note.

-Mario Story (J) entry should be in line with Paper Mario i.e. [video] (see GameFAQ)

-Mischief Makers (all regions) says "(see GameFAQ" without a close of the bracket.

-Nightmare Creatures (U) should probably have a (see GameFAQ) as the core note, or at least have it added.

-Ogre Battle 64 should have a "(see GameFAQ)" for video since there is an entry.

-War Gods should have a "(see GameFAQ)" for core.

-Wipeout 64 should have a "(see GameFAQ)" for video since there is an entry.

Misc GameFAQ issues:

Hey you, Pikachu! > Hey you, Pikachu! / Pikachu Genki Dechu

Paper Mario > Paper Mario / Mario Story

Super Mario 64 is not in alphabetical order.

Thats all for now.

heh, no. I think I may have played through the Deku Tree dungeon without problems, but beyond that is anyone's guess.

I think enough people have reported the crash though to at least warrant a note in the GameFAQ. :)
Allnatural, i remember you when i did my first posts here some years ago:)

and i remember your advice about Zelda OoT + Change Memory & Cache :)
(i was having those crashes in some particular places like Lost Woods and Kakariko's market, for example)

i played it loud, but i did not finish the game with PJ1.5, (up to Fire temple without problems) because i "move" to 1964, hehe


i recommend the Self -mod. code method in "Change Memory & Cache"


PS: i've found my old thread (dec 2003) hehe (with my "bad english" :D )

wow go Clements.
i just have to point out (while his computer is busted :() se he can't respond :D some of these little things are Gent's, or not mine anyway :p
i'll try to get that in and post another update today.
SGi and I were trying to work out what's up with International Superstar Soccer '98 (U). still not sure, i found it stable on Protect Memory, and he didn't.. strange.

ok upped BETA2.
as you say i should be doing GameFAQ updates alongside this, but thats more work, i may start soon..

Sorry, I had to...
Yoshi's Story is still not exactly OK:

- Sprites are resized, not rotated as they are supposed (I already posted a picture of this years ago)
- 2-2 Blargg's Boiler is completely messed up (I posted a picture of that in the Rice Video Bug thread and it also happens here - the only plugin displaying it correctly is Glide64)

That is refering to the last bad dump that shares the same crc with the new good

These issues are of course plugin-related, they have nothing to do with the core emulation process.

Ogre Battle 64 requires too much of the systen (mainly CPU and video card) and sometimes apear the backgroud (not always).

Is there any info on the Ogre Battle 64 issue?

>Wonder Project J2:
if set SMCM to Protect, Its hang in prologue.

>Mystical Ninja star.../Ganbare
not need RAM=8, its run on RAM=4.

>Jikkyou World Soccer 3
its Compatible. check uoRDB and Microcode.

>Dobutsu no Mori (J)
This ROM is Compatible(or issue(plugin)).
Core note is crash when re-entering house? but not rom issue.
I think State issue. this Problem some games have it(Ex: Majora's Mask).

When using State Save, its out of sync with Native Save Data.

Do you understand?:S
