Anyone get TR64 to work?

I seem to be having troubles with this emu - seems to be mostly a rom selection problem. For example, I want to play 'Perfect Dark' (main page claims its now playable with new release), but it says I've got about 6-8 'perfect dark' files...some 96 megabit, some 32 megabit, and one 256 megabit. Well, ok, I remember that that game is actually supposed to be 512 megabit, so what's going on? I select the 256 megabit and emulate it and I see a title screen (Using Jabo's 1.4)...but that's as far as it goes. I hit reset, and the program crashes. The ROM seems to play OK in pj64, so I believe the ROM's intact, and this is the US version of it. Also, most of the other ROMs in the list have corrupted names and are generally unreadable

You can check your ROMs with GoodN64. It will check if the ROM is a good or bad dump. There's also a patch package with thousands of patches to correct bad-dumped roms. You may wanna try it.

Once you rename your N64 roms with GoodN64, make sure that it has a '!' in the filename, this indicates a good working rom.

How can it be a bad dump if it works in other emu's?

Ok, I patched the ROM with GoodN64, and the multiples vanished...to be replaced with one (1) 256 megabit ROM...which only shows the title screen . If it helps, this is the ROM name that it spat out - Perfect_Dark_(U)_(V1.0)_[!].rom

Anyone else encounter anything similar?
