err...winxp is its sweet spot. dunno wats going wrong there. DONT use the 0.8 compile if u want to fully experience 1964, its very Work-in-Progress, and isfull of bugs. just to help ppl out with 1964 as it can be tricky to set-up, hence why ppl dont notice its potential (its compatibility is probably more than pj64 at this point).
1964 SETUP
use 0.7.2, then patch it with the 0.7.3 update. Theeeeeeeeen, copy and paste jabos d3d6 1.4.dll (it can be jabos d3d7 1.4.dll as well) from pj64's plugin directory to 1964's plugin directory. open 1964, go to the plugin option and select plugins. choosed jabos d3d for gfx.
FOR SPEED INCREASES....
This is wat makes 1964 better and faster than anything out there...ppl with pIII 400 hav been able to play perfect dark at full speed on it...
Now this depends on ur pc, but it is possible to apply speed hacks to each game to speed them up. These are known as Counter Factors (or CFs).
In the rombrowser, right-click on the game that u find is running slow (it has to be a game that is running slow due to slow hardware, and not plugin/emu core issues) and increase the CF level (not too much otherwise ur game will play real jerky). u will notice amazing speed increases (not in all cases). OK, we define slow games as ones which run under the 60vi/s mark (there is a vi/s counter on most emus when they are running minimised), so for perfect speed u want games to run at 60vi/s for NTSC/JAP games and/or 50vi/s for PAL games. so in the rombrowser, right click on the game u want to configure, and make sure u select the speed limiter (i suggest auto...NOTE: 0.8.0 has a screwed speed limiter, use 0.7.3).
Theres a new beta option in the rom options called 32-bit core. some games work with this, some dont, expect older games to be compatible with this, but if u do check it and a game does work, u will notice speed increases, and it should help. Check out my compat. list (
www.1964emu.com and find the link to the compat. list) to check out sum games that do/not work with this feature.
SOUND
Theres 2 plugins that come supplied with 1964.0.7.2 - Azimar's 0.30 (old driver) and Azimar's 0.40 beta 2. 0.30 is more compatible and faster, but has poorer quality, whilst beta 2 is less compatible, requires higher spec pcs, but has exceptional quality if the correct requirements are met. its up to u wat one to choose.
COMPATABILITY
As mentioned, its as high, if higher than pj64 using jabos direct3d 1.4. My compat. list is quite useful (
http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57 ) , but wait a bit and u guys should eventually be treated with a new .ini file which will sort 1964 out a bit, and make it easier to use. shouldnt be too long now....
