Question about my N64 emulator

Some games work perfectly fine on my N64 emulator, while others won't even load. I can run Perfect Dark and Goldeneye perfectly. But when I try to play Star Wars Rogue Squadron, I can't even get to the main menu. It can't be my computer, because I have an Intel T2500 @ 2.0 GHz with a GB of RAM. The graphics card isn't anything special, but I've run higher requirement games on my computer, so I don't quite understand why Rogue Squadron won't work.

I've also noticed that some games load and work, but after about 10 minutes my sound just dies. I reset and it doesn't help.

 

If you are using Project64 emulator this is list of poorly supported or unsupported games: (from appendix manual of ver. 1.6)

The games listed here will have problems with the default settings. Here is a complete list of all games that are known not to work with either Project64 or it's default plugins.

Ok, so I need to switch my video settings so I'm not using Jabo's plugins.


I am indeed running Project64. Tried using 1964 and that didn't work too well.

 

project 64 is much better anyway. i didnt see re2 on that list and i have tried at least a few different plugins wonder if that slipped by the list or i still may have hope

 

what games does it work better with? everytime i have tried to use 1964 i get massive errors and my cpu is usually is running at almost full power while p64 runs at about 35% of my cpu

 

huh maybe i have been doing something wrong with the settings or plugins. although i do think p64 has better compatibility i couldnt get quite a few games to run even before my cat ruined my xps

 

I found the site that has the various plugins for project64. Any idea which one will run rogue squadron? Or is it a matter of trial and error?

 

I've been on the forums of about 6 different N64 emulators and even talked to some of the admins and I've not come across anyone who's been able to successfully emulate rogue squadron. Most emus end up freezing at the N64 logo menu screen. The best of them have been able to play the game but with massive freezing, crashing upon mission start, massive texture failure, no enemies (seriously), and with no sky or ground. That's the closest they came. I saw a video of it, it was unplayable. Simply atrocious.

It's going to take someone going back through and dealing with those issues or creating a massive set of plug-ins for this game to ever run properly. For the time being however, give up. I would check back in a year. On the off-chance that someone actually discovers a way to successfully run this rom please don't just play and forget about us here on the forums. If anyone comes up with other valuable information relevant to this thread please don't hesitate to post that as well.

Just by the way, to be clear this is not a matter of appropriate plug-ins at the current moment, meaning, what you'd need to run this game doesn't actually exist yet. At least that is my understanding from everyone I've talked to so far.

Also, Resident Evil and RE2 can be run on Project 64 with the proper plug-ins, (search on google for your emu and the proper set or the forums of your emu). However, if you'd rather not search and download a whole new set you can simply download a PSX emu, (ePSXe), and then download a RE 2 ISO (a PSX rom basically). I've never run into an issue running a PSX iso. Plus this way you can also run Dino Crisis!
