Paper Mario

[poirot84]

I'm having trouble playing Paper Mario with Project64 1.6 on my laptop. Once I press the start button, I get an error message and Project64 1.6 turns off. I already tried three different roms of Paper Mario and all do the same thing. Does anyone know where I can get a working Paper Mario rom?

Well I'm new at this, I didn't I could did that.

Ok, I figured out now that it might have something to do with the Direct64 v0.5.03.25. I want to use Direct64 v0.5.03.25 because it has the best graphics. However, like I said before, it always shut down Project 64 1.6 before I can start the game. Does anyone know which Video (graphics) plugin would be the best to use?

Depends on your video card primarily, and which game you are playing.

- Glide64 probably supports the most games with fewer graphical glitches right now. It supports motion blur, hardware framebuffer, and dithered alpha among others.

- Jabo's D3D8 1.6 works well with most of the popular games and has slightly lower requirements.

- Rice's Video/Glide64 can use Hi-resolution texture replacements. Rice's Video is required to play a handful of games properly and at a playable frame rate.

- Direct64 supports hardware framebuffer, dithered alpha and overscan simulation, and works well with the games it can support if you have a good enough video card.

- glN64() works very well with certain video cards that aren't so good with the other plugins that require pixel shaders.

- Jabo's D3D6 1.5.2 works well with old video cards and integrated graphics.

I might want to use Glide64 but which one do I use?

[Auzern]

Ok. Tell me which graphics card are you using?

[poirot84]

You mean on my laptop?
