[JAZ]

Afaik it dont run on any emulator and it wont run anytime soon

[zer0hal0]

yeah man i downloaded the game from this site and when it finished the friggin game didnt even work.. winzip file was broken.. and the game was at least 80mb's... what a waste of time and money downloading sux ass games like that.. Resident Evil games are wicked , there my type of games.. What other games are kinda like Resident Evil.. really gore & Zombie etc.. any comments!

[Gam3rX]

zer0hal0 : re2's rom is 64mb...i got the right one but yeah...no emu's currently able to emulate it right now

[zer0hal0]

yeah man i downloaded the rom that u r talking about it was 64mb i wasnt quiet sure but it didnt work.. i think the sever went down when i was downloading it.. i only have a 56k modem and downloading big games are really hard and long process.. i wish i could have the game like on a cd or somethink and a emulator that can run it in the near future.. but i quess it will never happen ever.... it sucks when u see a wicked game that u love and u cant even play it only if u go an rent it from the video shop but when u go to play it u get half way though it and u find that it cant go any further becuse of some idiot who scratch the cd... and buying the games for N64 or Playstaion are very expensive where i am Australia Rips everyone off... and buying them from the USA well its hard when u dont have a credit card.. so it looks like this Resident Evil fan will never see this game to the very end..

If anyone can help me out here i would be very greatfull and would try to help them out!

merry christmas and happy new years!

"CHEERS"

[sk8bloke22]

lol, yeh pc version will be easier to get.

re2 may neva be emulated. the fmvs are just too much.

[gouki29]

i own it for the n64, the game looks nice with high rez chars(with the expansion pack). The fmv's look grainy but its amazing they got them all in.

[robi_wan_kenobi]

Where i can read about which good games are being emulated by now?

[gerbilcannon]

In the newest ini files.

[sk8bloke22]

[robi_wan_kenobi]

Thanks for the links sk8bloke22 ....
I tried the PC version of this Game and the Graphics are horrible, the 3d accelration seems to be suported only for a couple of dust-covered cards by now, i mean with my Geforce3Ti it didnt enabled hardware acceleration, i visited the developer website and not a single patch. If somebody know how to get it, please let me know.

I don't see a reason to go looking for the PJ64 rom if you can run it on the enhanced epsxe emu.

[Ozzy]

Hey AllNatural, does Turok1 still have crash points in PJ?

Not if you set the Counter Factor to 1. You may need to turn on ABL (if it isn't already) to keep the speed up though. It's running perfectly for me.

[Ozzy]

Turok1 still freezes at certain points.

[Darkon]

Oh how I wait for the day when Ogre Battle finally becomes playable...

Things to note with that compatibility list:

* Donkey Kong 64 has some nasty timing issues that cause jumping problems and crashing. Just see the long thread on EmuTalk's PJ64 forum to see what I'm talking about.

* Glover should work with Jabo's v1.3 video plugin.

* Goldeneye has nasty graphical glitches on later levels with Jabo's v1.4, and is very slow on the PJ64 core anyway. 1964 is a bit faster in my experience, but on my Ath1.4GHz with a GeForce2 I find UltraHLE with the eVoodoo XP wrapper as the best way to play it. (Stuck at 640x480 vs. my normal 1280x960 resolution for PJ/1964 though)

* Jet Force Gemini's control issues are due to copy protection, you need to get the [f1] ROM or patch the [!] ROM to make it work normally in PJ/1964. The Kiosk is just a demo.

* Paper Mario has some flickering issues, 1964 supposedly does a better job at avoiding the flickering because it's a core issue. It's still pretty playable though. If some levels are dark you need to enable a certain framebuffer option in Jabo's (copy buffers maybe?) to see the level, then disable them again for speed reasons. (The background will stay.)

* Perfect Dark has some graphical issues which require a new video plugin for it to be fully playable, at the moment it's only completable in a non-standard way.

As for the original post, Resident Evil 2's problems are both with the weird ROM storage used on the large 64MB cart and with the lack of a video plugin. The same is true of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine. I believe Azimer (coder of Apollo, slower but about the same compatibility as PJ/1964) dealed with at least Indy's memory issues, but without a capable video plugin they still will not be playable.

For games not listed/mentioned, PJ64's own RDB file gives the compatibility notes. Just open it in a text editor and search through it for the game you're interested in for details.

Nah, the game has issues with all of Jabo's video plugins. There will always be an access violation at the end of the first level. Right now, Nemu is the only one that emulates it properly, though with a few graphic glitches.
