Running roms

I have a video card named Savage2000, what video plugin should I use because I can´t play any game, when the game starts it makes that the computar frezee.

I have a p4 1.6Ghz with 256 PC1200 SDRAM at 266Mhz

What can I do?

The best video plugin is still the one included in PJ64; Jabo's. Are you sure your freeze problem is related to your video hardware? Of course you'll want to do the obvious things, like making sure you have the latest version of DirectX as well as the latest video drivers.

Keep in mind however, that a Savage2000 is well below the recommended minimum specs for PJ64, and n64 emulation in general. I would buy better video hardware before I bothered playing games on my PC, emulated or otherwise.

I really believe that is the video car the one that it´s creating this problem because, before I bought this computer, I never heard anything about this Savage video card.

What can you tell me about the Prophet video card, I think that one is good and I´m thinking of getting rid of this video card and buy a Prophet.

I agree, it's probs your card. I had no end of difficulties with the Savage 3D/S4
Hercules Prophet can mean a lot of things. They are a board MFG, not a chipset maker, however recently, they have been making boards mainly for the Kyro chipset which is... how can I put this nicely, not a good thing. Look for a GeForce 4 Ti (NOT MX), a GeForce 3, or a Radeon 8500

I've also had a savage 2000, it freezes due to the drivers handling memory badly. if you upgrade to winxp it shouldn't freeze, bu the card is a piece of crap. Hell, on this 8mb integrated trident blade3d mvp4, i get better gfx and speed, plus it is very stable, under pj64 and jabo's gfx.. s3 just plain sux d00d..
