N64 emulation rookie tries to play zelda OOT

[Takmadeus]

well guys, I finally gave a chance to N64 emulation, sxamiga adviced me to use PJ64 (thanks sxamiga!), but I got a problem...... it runs slow as hell and it doesn't show the menu...... it is all black, but you can still hear the sound...... could you please help me?

I'll post some pics, so you can figure out what can I do...



these are my specs...

Project 64 v. 1.4

Jabo's Direct3D7 1.40 gpu

- Display

* rendering device: direct 3D HAL
* windowed resolution: 320 x 240
* fullscreen resolution: 640 x 480 x 16
* Buffer display mode: Transfer memory
* Wireframe rasterization: no
* Sort independent antialiasing: no

- Emulation

* RSP code simulation: RSP SW 2.0X
* Geometry transforms: automatic
* Texture format: 16 bpp only
* Enable fog: yes
* Enable display list Culling: yes
* Change blending mode if invalid video card: no
* Always use texture filtering for rendering: no

- Advanced

* Frame buffer Emulation: none
* Force depth compare: no
* Force depht enable: no
* Force normal blending: no

RSP coniguration

* send audio lists to audio plugin: no
* send audio lists to graphics plugin: yes
* CPU core style: recompiler


SPU zilmar's Audio Plugin

Jabo's DirectInput7 1.40

PS: I don't need awesome graphics, I'll stand with a fast, normal screen, OK?

[Takmadeus]

well.... now the beggining......

[Takmadeus]

now.... N64 logo?

you may notice that nintendo is missing.....

[Takmadeus]

now........ the menu

do you see something there...

(check the arrow to see the fps rate)

As I said in your other thread,you won't be able to run it fullspeed.
Also,Jabo's D3D plugin's(the only worth plugin),is mainly optimized for nvidia cards,and it works fine on Radeon's too,but it works really bad on other brands cards.
I'd suggest you to use UltraHLE(or even better:SupraHLE) with a glide wrapper,cause it will run fullspeed with good graphics.

I just tried on mine and except for RSP code simulation: which on mine is f3dzex 2.06h (whatever that means as I cant change it) my settings are the same as yours and it runs great for me..

well..... I'll give it a shot.... how about it?

anyway, would it be normal to get those graphs in a non Nvidia card?

can you give me your system specs?.... soI can confirm that it is due to your setting and not your system.....

Ive got a Radeon 64 and a amd cpu any more u need to know?

use ultra/supra hle my duron 1 ghz /gforce 2 mx chops whit PJ64 except in some gamesand i cant remember your graph card but im pretty sure it sucked:p you just dont got the power for pj64

[Amberion]

Uhm, my computer runs PJ64 at slightly under full speed in most areas of Zelda 64. I imagine I could get much more performance if i tweaked it. Setting Framebuffers to 'none' really cranks up the speed at the expense of some mostly minor eye candy.

1964 runs faster than Pj64 for me. Try it. Supra HLE runs Zelda OOT full speed but I have a Nvidia card (Geforce 2 MX). 1964 gave me a big speed boost over PJ64. It runs fullspeed sometimes but mostly runs around 50-60 VI/s.
