Sound Card & (Controller) To PC Adapter...

You can also use a HLE audio plugin, like Azimer's. You must disable send audio to rsp, though. Refer to the manual; it should have instructions.
You can also zip through the general speedup guide by Rice: http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=13173

Well, I'll try everything and see if I can get it too gain speed, hopefully I'll find a result. Thanks for the help and suggestions.

Dude, looking at your system specs (from your profile) I'm not surprised you're having issues. If at all possible I'd strongly suggest upping your ram at the very least. Also how up to date is your Windows and your drivers? That may be an issue as well. Closing down any un-needed processes would help as well. IIRC Win2k had a bunch that would run that weren't needed unless you were running a server or something along those lines. Anyway, that's just my two cents.

I meet the system requirements, so not a problem, though thinking of upgrading to WinXP, like everyone suggests. Don't have much running in the background, though connected to a server, business wise... The RAM? Probably not my problem also, upgrading my OS is probably the answer here.

If anything, upgrading OS makes most things go slower.

Yeah well, Window XP has better driver support, unlike 2000's lack of driver database. Can't seem to even install DirectX 9. Had less problems on 98, but didn't support my "fussy" PC. Nothing seems to work, I'm puzzled here... It lags here and there no matter what I do.

If you can't get the VI/s (shown as FPS in PJ64 1.6) to 50/60 despite speed tricks, then you may need to upgrade your processor.
You could also disable sound, I believe.
But there are a lot of solution, like using HLE sound. Did you try? With everything, it should be possible to hit full speed. If it still crackles, enabling sync to sound should help to get clear sound (some games like Zelda wants it).

I would have suggested upgrading the processor as well but normally that requires a new mobo and I was trying to give ideas that could be done fairly quickly/easily.

 

[Doomulation]

Not always. Processors can be overclocked and there are always compatible processors that are a little faster.

Yeah, tried it all, still the same, though worse then I had it... Anyway, I'm using a beta of v1.7, so might have to wait for the final version, probably in 2008, but just have to deal with it til then. 1.7 lags on lower-end PCS, though 1.6 works perfect in speed, but then again, 1.7 has a lot of graphic fixes in a lot of games, so don't want to go back to 1.6 because of it... Oh well, I'll just deal with it for now, at least the games work, so can't argue.

 

[Doomulation]

Well, that kindof explains it. Still, you should discuss/talk about 1.7 on the 1.7 beta forum and 1.6 (and earlier) here...

Well, where is this beta forum everyone keeps pointing me too? Looked around, but guess I'm getting blind these days. Thanks again and sorry about that.

I used to play on an MX440. Definitely a bad card for PJ64. It's quite simply too old. As for a GCN controller to USB adaptor, I use the "TigerGame NGC JoyPad to USB Box," It's awesome. Use it with the newer NRage plugin. If you install the drivers you can use the rumble too.
