Paper Mario Problems with Glide64 Wonder++

[andy_blah]

I have tried to use this video plugin but it seems that it`s the worst between the others. I use Project64 1.6, and Glich64 wrapper on an Nvidia GForce 5500FX(128MB VRAM - AGP 4x (I think)).
Glide Wonder`s settings:



All that I see is black! Sometimes some frames show up, and the FPS count is normal (~59fps)

Is there a better alternative to Glide64 or Glitch64 or maybe my settings are wrong?

Thank-you in advance

You should really update your plugin to Glide "Napalm" PR1, because Wonder ++ is old and still have a lot bugs that are fixed in the Napalm release.
You could also give the Glide forum on EmuXHaven a try, if you have further problems.

Still the same problem. What do you suggest for the options? I would rather stick to those forums before going where you suggested me. Also, is there a better sound plugin than Jabo`s DirectSound 1.6? I hear some pops in the sound sometimes.

Azi is the god of N64 sound emulation, so I really can suggest you every Azimer sound plugin, LLE or HLE, both are working great.
It could probably be, that it isn't the plugin options, it's the gfx driver.
Did you updated your drivers lately? Probably using a beta driver of nvidea? This could also cause problems. Please psot another picture of your napalm settings.
And make sure, you are using the latest glitch (wrapper) release.

update your video drivers, you are probably using something like Detonator 50 or something.

glide plugins wont work well with old cards, heck i got geforce 6600 it runs fine most of the time in paper mario but not so well framebuffer effects

Also update the glide wrapper (using a new version plugin comes with one but i found a newer glide wrapper which gives a small speed boost and improved rendering) because it can address the issues you have

[andy_blah]

Unfortunately I cannot use the newest drivers because they make my video card malfunction (who-knows-why), and for that I had to re-install Windows, and I got back to the driver I used before, and now it seems to work, talking about strangeness... I`m using the wrapper that came with Nepalm, if there is a newer version of that wrapper, can you give me a link? I couldn`t find anything relevant on google v.v'

Thank-you for your help so far

Newest Glitch (wrapper release)
Updated driver, which work on nearly every card because of tweaked inf files.
And you don't have to reinstall Windows next time, because of bad gfx drivers, just reinstall the old ones.
That's all for now, post further questions if there are any.

That`s the driver from my driver CD that came with the video card, and that`s what I had installed ^_^. Thank-you for the link to Glitch
