Changed my mind: PJ64 is the BEST!

d33d · October 8th, 2001

Now that i've switched from nemu to pj (for most games) are the settings in the options/settings/options menu usefull for tweaking.

Such as:

CPU Core - Interpreter/Recompiler
Self Modifying Code Handling - Cache/Chk Mem/Cache + Chk Mem/Protect Mem

RDram size - 4Mb/8Mb (I'm assuming 8 is better)
Speed Limiter - *Disabled/50 VI/s (PAL)/60 VI/s (NTSC) (selected NTSC, not sure why, maybe more VI/s)

do u know what video plaugin is the best? i have just downloaded pj64 and going test it soon, but im totally unfamiliar with this emu, so if ya know which one is the best video plugin, plz let me know

It depends on your video card. I don't have a Geforce2 to tell you which one is the best, but you should try all of them to see which one works best for you. Most people think the best is Jabo's D3D 1.30.

recompier=fast, less compatible
interpreter=damn slow, more compatible

basically stick with the recompiler

i suggest these settings:

RDRAM Size=8Mbits = expansion pak (worth using as default)
Self-modifying Code= for pj64 1.3 Check Mem & Cache (use protect memory in pj64 1.2)
Speed limiter = NTSC 60 vi/s

best vid plugin= jabos d3d 1.3 - fancy a game of conker's?
hehe runner up= jabos d3d 1.2 as a few games were broken in 1.3 such as 1080 and donkey kong.

thx for urs replies.

I have tested the emu yesterday, and yes, jabo is the best video plugin i must say, but, it cant play zelda64

And i also have problems with the input plugun, i have set the direction keys, but still cant works. ( those a ,b,c and start button have no problems ).I'll try again sooner to make it work.

wut is the beest sound plugin i use the ones it came with and both are always out of sync wid da game... itz really pissing me off.. <

**Zephon** · October 14th, 2001

I think Azimer's sound plugin is the best. Test both 0.3 and 0.3 rev2 to see which one is the best for the game you're playing.

depends on ur specs really. jabos directsound is best for fast computers as its most compatible with pj64 and has very good sound quality, therefore being quite demanding. zilmars is another good compatible sound card but should work better on lower spec pcs (plus u can enable HLE sound). azimars 0.3 (old driver) is extremely compatible, and the new driver is quite uncompatible, but has incredible synce and quality in certain games, such as banjo kazooie (it was kinda experimental).

finish tested the emu, what i wanted to say is : it has become my first choice n64 emu! the graphics for zelda 64 almost perfect,just with very few graphics errors.

And how about the speed? GOOD!

nuff said.

sk8bloke22 · October 15th, 2001

only 2 games that r compatible on pj64 i recommend on uhle instead - goldeneye and zelda OoT (start screen delay bug), as its still worth using the good 'ol emu for something.

pj64 is amazing though, i got damn far in turok 2 using thhe emu and there were hardly any visible bugs.

try ridge racer 64 if you can, it's pretty cool

Nightmare · October 15th, 2001

To be quite frankly,i havent found or noticed any visual bugs during playing zelda64 after i have adjusted the video options.

I'll give this game 97 marks!!

Ridge racer64? hehe, how could i miss such a great game made by Namco?

sk8bloke22 · October 15th, 2001

basically u r right, but there is a bloody annoying start bug which causes the start screen to take like 15 secs to load, whilst Majoras Mask doesnt hav this. considering the start screen is used often this is quite annoying, which is why i recommend uhle. thats it! so i would say err.. 82.55% compatible hehe

so not a big deal
