I just wanted to setup a discussion for Radeon video card users with PJ 1.4. To help out newbies (and myself), I read the PJ 64 documentation and checked all the settings that would work best with my video card. My cpu is kinda weak but I still run the first zelda game at full speed ... most of the time :doh:

Here's my hardware setup:

CPU: Celeron 566mhz
Mem: 256 megs
Video: ATI Radeon LE 32mb

Software:

Windows 2000
video drivers: 3286
PJ64 1.4
Plugin: Jabo' Direct3d7 1.4

for all you new people:

be sure to list your hardware/software setup so we can know where problems may occur.


Here's some pretty pictures to help you out with the video plugin settings:

Here's the emulation tab..I just wanted to show off my desktop :eyes:

okay okay, here's a small one

Please feel free do discuss, I want this forum to be helpful for everybody. If anybody out there knows more or less...

I'll post more pics later with other configuration options if this thread is popular. For now, this is my end result, I think it looks pretty good, but can it get better? :argue:

Since you've ticked the "depth enable" box, fyi , ticking the depth compare box also fixes the halos glitch and is faster (since you've read the faq, you know what I mean).

bye

My main resource was the HTML help file that comes with the binary, I thought it gave some valuble insight

I'm always looking for more performance, are you saying I should have both the depth compare and enable boxes or just the compare?

here's what it looks like with both the depth compare and enable boxes checked.

Here's the highest quality I can go and I think the halo looks better with the enable unchecked http://www.ngemu.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=98363#post98363

Well,it looks really good to me,I don't see any difference graphically speaking compared to what I get on my sys,except that it runs at 1280x1024.
I'm really impressed by the fact that you can run at 30 fps(even if it's not fullspeed) on a celeron 566.

Yeah, I have to turn the sound off which sucks but it looks pretty good. I do have the upgrade itch though, I get paid on the 4 and I can do a serious upgrade for $300. Does your run at full speed on your system at that rez? BTW 1280x960 would look better because it's the correct aspect ratio for the N64.
