Which N64 emu will be good for me?

Which N64 emu will run good on my comp? My specs are on my sig.

jegHegy · October 3rd, 2002

i suggest Project64, with Jabo's D3D plugin (you could try his OpenGL plugin too, but it's very buggy)

1964 is faster for me.

I've tried Nemu 0.7a, 1964 0.8.4, and Project64 1.5, but none of them seem to work well enough. My specs are the following:

AMD Athlon 2100+
1024 MB PC2700 RAM
ATi Radeon 9700 Pro

I second sonicfoot's question and would like to know which emulator is most suitable for me. Thanks.

sonicfoot · October 6th, 2002

zukeft, with your specs you should be able to run these emulators with no problem at all! For you i would advise using PJ64.
Just What are the problems you are having?

zukeft · October 6th, 2002

Choppy playback. Sometimes the sound is out of sync with the animation. Sometimes RBG emulation looks nicer than using Direct3D HAL.

Try using Vsync or Triple Buffering. Triple Buffering eliminates choppy playback in Zsnes too.

N/M... I forgot that in the display adaptor properties I had Anti-Aliasing at 6X and Anisotropic Filtering at 16X. Now it works. Thx anyway.

jegHegy · October 6th, 2002

this looks like the cause is the Catalyst's crappiness @_@

zukeft · October 6th, 2002

Could be. Now I just went into fullscreen mode and everything went down the dumpster. That means that I can only play in windowed mode.

Sir Key · October 6th, 2002

i give ya a hint as a radeon 9700 pro user

start the emulation in fullscreen mode then it should work... i guess we have to wait until someone comes up with a plugin that supports the radeon better.... jabo's is not that bad but u still see some glitches....

jegHegy · October 6th, 2002

er, did you try glide plugins (with wrappers of course)?

nyaa

Sir Key · October 6th, 2002

i don't get it how to use wrappers.... *lol* i also haven't found any good tutorial for this...

jegHegy · October 6th, 2002

simple: you download one (preferable eVoodoo), copy glide3x.dll into your Windows directory, and run the emulator using the glide plugin for graphics. it's as simple as that

nyaa

Sir Key · October 6th, 2002

yeah i figured it out half an hour ago but i was too lazy to post it here...*gg* the funny thing about this glide plugin is that it only works with a few games (for me) but at least these few games are perfectly emulated... =)
