Z64 - a LLE graphics plugin

Hi! I wonder if someone can help me with this :(

I saw dsx's videos of World Driver Championship and Stunt Racer 64 running on Project64 1.6 and tried to follow the steps that were passed in the video description and here on this thread, but when I try to access "Options>>Settings..." of pj64 I get the following error message:

Failed to load plugin:
D:\Jogos\Nintendo 64\ Project64 1.6.1\Plugin\MYZ64R17.dll

The version of pj64 I'm testing is the 1.6 with the updates that Jabo did last year. What I did so far was downloading "z64-r17-zerolodfrac.rar", "myrsp3.rar" and "glew-1.7.0-win32.zip", (all in the dsx's video's description) then:

1) I unzipped z64-r17-zerolodfrac.rar and placed the MYZ64R17.dll on the plugin folder
2) I unzipped myrsp3.rar and placed rsp.dll on the plugin folder
3) I unzipped glew-1.7.0-win32.zip and planced the glew32.dll that was on the bin folder, on the pj64 root folder

It didn't work and gave me that error message, then I downloaded the original z64-r17 that is on ziggi's post and realized that it had some files that didn't come along with the z64 I downloaded from the link I mentioned, that are z64gl.conf and there is the RSPcomp-pj64.dll that comes separately. At the end, on my plugin folder I had z64gl.dll, z64-rsp.dll, z64gl.conf, RSPcomp-pj64.dll and angrylion's rsp that I renamed to just rsp.dll. Even with all that, I continued to receive that same error message and was unable to select the z64 plugin :(. I also tried to place the glew32.dll on C:\Windows\System32 but it also didn't work...

Anyone have any idea of what could be?

Hmm, i didn't read anything about this SDL on the OP's post! Anyway, tried it and i'm still getting the same error :(

Here is a print of my pj64's root and plugin folders: h ttp://i.imgur.com/Bp4Wd.jpg

I selected everything I think is important to make Z64 work... Did I miss something?

Edit: oh, I just realized that I forgot to select the MYZ64R17.dll up there, but it's there :)

Yeah SDL is only needed for MYZ64R17, not for the original z64gl

Wartogh, don't you have another copy of Project64 1.6 installed on your computer? In that case Project64 1.6 would sometimes search in the wrong plugin directory and fail to find some third-party plugins. That happened to me.

nope :(, but I have pj64k... I think it uses the 1.4 version, doesn't it?

I even tried to download a fresh copy of pj641.6 and make everything again, but I get the same error...

I forgot to mention but my pc specs are:

HD Sata2 seagate 5900 2TB
HD Sata2 Maxtor 7200 1TB
RAM: DDR3 PC-1600MHz 4GB Corsair XMS3 DHX CM3X2G1600C9DHX (two 2GB sticks)
CPU: QuadCore Intel Core i5 750 2.67GHz 8MB
VGA: XFX ATI Radeon HD5850 1GB DDR5 765MHz
MOBO: P7P55D LE
Windows 7 professional x64

Hmm, could someone upload a folder with everything working on mediafire or whatever, so I can see if it works here? If it still doesn't work, then I give up, haha :(

Wartogh, could you try it in Windows XP mode? Do you still get "failed to load" error in Windows XP mode?
Also, my advice is to delete all instances of glew32.dll and try putting the only glew32.dll into C:\Windows\SysWOW64.

Yes, I tried it in compatibility mode with windows xp sp3 and it didn't work. I also tried to put glew32 on SysWOW64 as you said but it didn't work either

Yes, I have the newest dx installed and the last version of the driver for my VGA.

About the settings at z64gl.conf, only these where different:

"# run RDP emulator in a separate thread
# REQUIRED with Pj64 1.6 and below (not with 1.7), or along with the "async" option
threaded = 0

# emulate RDP asynchronously, might be faster, needs "threaded = 1" option
# a bit unstable, also fb_info is currently forced to off then
async = 0"

But I changed them to 1 and I continued to receibe that error message and was still unable to select z64 at the settings

As for the files, all of them was on the right folder, but my version of glew was the 1.7.0 instead of 1.6.0 as you suggested. I even tried to download the 64 bit version and the newer versions (1.8.0 and 1.9.0) but it still didn't work...

But just now I saw that ziggy also placed a version of glew32 to downloaded in the OP's post, then I download that one, tried, and ended up that it worked! I don't even know what is the version of the glew32 that he put in the attached files, but it worked! Strange, isn't it? :S

What difference does the glew32 version? Not that I will try another version now, since this one is the only one that worked for me, but i'm curious to know if it makes difference to use a 64bit version or the last version

Thank you all for all your help!

lol, it shouldn't go in SysWoW64 XD (that is for 64-bit stuff, which nothing you are using is), it should go in system32 altho I doubt that will do anything anyway :p

And what difference does it make if I use the newer versions of glew32 like the 1.9.0 version? And I noticed that you always recommend the 32 bit version... The 64 bit version works?

Also, there is a way to play rogue squadron on some emulator? I tried this scheme that worked for WDC and SR64 but it didn't worked for Rogue Squadron :(

Well, sorry. I really don't know what it is nor for what it is used, I thought that since I use a 64 bit OS maybe it would work better with, but it looks like it works in conjuction with the emulator, not the VGA nor the OS

Was just a question, though, since I was following the steps that suggested the 32 bit version

Wrong, it's vice versa, in 64-bit Windows versions SysWoW64 is a folder for 32-bit DLLs, System32 is for 64-bit DLLs:

They probably didn't test newer versions of glew32 for compatibility with Windows 7's rendition of WoW64, that's why only an old version works for you.

Do you get a black screen in PJ64 1.6 with "CPU Core Style" set to 'Interpreter' and with Jabo's sound plugin?

Not black screen, but it shows the intro (with n64 logo, lucas arts logo and factor 5 logo), then on what I supposed it would be the press start screen, the screen becomes all white and then the emulator crashes

Wartogh, I can only reproduce this crash with force_swap = 0. So try to uncomment the line #force_swap = 1 in the [rogue squadron] section of your z64gl.conf by removing a number sign / pound sign. If that doesn't help, try to change this setting globally in the "global settings" section above.
Also, whenever you report program crashes, it is advisable to also report the module that actually crashed (z64gl.dll in this case).
