Glide not loading

[Kether]

I'm trying to use the glide plugin for project64 but it says: This application has failed to start because glide3x.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. What do I do? I deleted the old .dll file and replaced it with a new one and still nothing happend. I am also running windows xp pro. What's wrong?

Seems like you don't have a native glide card (AKA Voodoo Graphics card).
You have to use a glide wrapper to do the job. The glide wrapper emulates the functions required by glide applications (applications like the glide64 plugin).
Get yourself the evoodoo wrapper the best known wrapper yet. I think you can find it here on NGEMU.
Good Luck

What is your graphic card? If you're using the one made by nVidia or Ati, that's the problem. This would not happend if you're using 3dfx card [AKA Voodoo]. I think the problem solved as acepower said above.

Yeah, I'm using an NVIDIA card. What's a glide wrapper and how do I find it on the site?

thanx a lot you guys but this isn't this supposed to show up in the video plugins? I don't see it anywhere. Sorry, I'm new at this.

[Galway no Sora]

No, Glide wrapper isn't a plugins so it have their own section. Its just additional program to emulate Glide, have nothing to do with emulator.

No, because it is not a plugin it is a wrapper - kind of an emulator. (But NGEMU has to consider place it somewhere near the plugins because it is not anymore related only to UltraHLE.)
Just get it from Lord Kane's reply above (he placed a link there) and stop complain about it

The glide64 plugin in order to work REQUIRES a system file called "glide3X.dll". This file works ONLY with Voodoo cards.
That's why you have to use the glide wrapper: because it emulates the functions of the original glide3X.dll and works with Direct3D cards like NVidia cards

[Kether]

ah yes but how do I use the wrapper? Just run the little .exe file that comes with it while playing the game or something? (YES I AM STUPID!)

[MoJo]

Extract file glide3x.dll to PJ64 Folder. Done!
Kane, I got question. Does eVooDoo wrapper emulate 100% graphic like native Voodoo 5500? 'cause I decided to buy the 2nd hand 5500 from my pal.

Well, it usually comes with a Glide3x.dll and/or glide2x.dll, copy these to the root directory and plugin directory of it and run the EXE file (and for eVoodoo, copy evoodoo.cpl to #WINDOWS/SYSTEM32

EDIT: MoJo beat me

You should ask this at www.emutalk.net. They know everything about N64 there!

hey everyone,
i just followed through this thread and used some of what you people were talking about, i now have my glide 64 v0.41 plugin working on pj64, everything comes up alright...but...MASSIVE slow down! help me!

[Clements]

If you are using eVoodoo 3.99 Beta (which is the most up to date) then use fullscreen as it is much, much faster in all games and not windowed mode.

Other than that, lowering the fullscreen resolution boosts speed too. I'd suggest you use 1964 instead of Project 64 as it is faster.

if i dont fullscreen it, i get a message on the screen saying [ GFX cant be displayed in windowed mode, switch to fullscreen mode by pressing Alt + Enter ] or something along those lines...
so, ovbiously, its jumpy in fullscreen...
i have only tried f-zero x
i dont really want to make the resolution any smaller than 640 X 400...

If you want to play F-Zero, use Raziel64's updated ini:

http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=15447

otherwise it's slow, and use the updated Glide64 0.42:

http://www.emuxhaven.net/~glide64/downloads.htm

F-Zero has higher requirements due to the way it is coded (the real game ran at 60fps.)
