I have the SNESHOUT emulator and few games.I cant get the game to play in full screen mode.when i try it says "failed to initial direct draw" then the screen just goes blank.The games play fine in a small window, but its not very fun playing them that way.
Also I have the project 64 n64 emulator.all games work good except RE2, very choppy and just not fun to play.Is this thr rom, emulator or both??
Is there a better n64 and/or snes emulator out there??

Make sure DirectDraw is enabled in the DirectX Diagnostic Tool utility. To access this tool, click on Start --> Run, then type dxdiag and press Enter. The, click on the Display tab. Also, make sure you have the latest DirectX version, which is 9.0c for Windows 98/ME/2000/XP and DirectX 10 for Vista.

Resident Evil 2 for Nintendo 64 is not very well emulated or not emulated at all. Get the PlayStation version instead.

Both Project64 (http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/n64/project64.html) and 1964 (http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/n64/1964.html) are really good. In fact, they're the favourites for most of emulator players. For more Nintendo 64 emulators, check the Nintendo 64 page (http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/n64/) of Emulator-Zone.

ok thanks. what do u mean the ps version of re2??on another emulator????is there a ps version rom for the 64??
thanks!!!

No, but there's also a PlayStation emulator. A ripped CD-ROM game is called an ISO, not a ROM.

[seether9111]

so there actually is a working ps emulator??
i heard all the ones on limewire were bullshit.

Yes, and the compatibility is awesome. I'm currently playing Final Fantasy IX flawlessly.

Why getting emulators from LimeWire? That's a virus' nest if you didn't know (fake apps, etc).

OK, PLEEEEEZE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME.I INSTALL THE EMULATOR FIRST, THEN DO I HAVE TO RIP MY PS2 GAMES TO A FOLDER, RE-FORMAT THEM TO ISO AND BURN TO A DISC.I HAVE NERO 6.65 AND AM PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH IT.ANY HELP IN THIS WOULD BE GREAT.THANKS:D

Final Fantasy IX is a PlayStation game, not PlayStation 2.

To emulate PlayStation 2, you need a dual core processor (Intel Core 2 Duo), 2 GB of RAM and a very powerful video card. To get you started with PlayStation emulator, read the General ePSXe Setup and Configuration (http://forums.emulator-zone.com/showthread.php?t=1140) thread.

Better not keep talking about PlayStation emulation in a Nintendo forum. Oh, and don't write in caps.
