FAQ:
Q: What does Range Fog and Linear Fog mean? *
* A: Range Fog is the default fog method and usually correct method *
* fog. Linear Fog refers to depth based fog on a linear filter. It is *
* less costly, but requires the Software Vertex Clipper, which itself *
* uses more resources than the old hardware method. Linear Fog can *
* create a more visually appealing thickness of fog, but some less *
* desirable artifacts may appear. Rice 6.12 only. *
* *
* Q: Software Vertex Clipper, what? *
* A: The Software Vertex Clipper uses code that also relies on DirectX *
* features unsupported by XBOX. You can witness the missing side *
* textures on treasure chests in Legend of Zelda. The rest of the *
* functionality is enough to work, and it also corrects some bad *
* vertex clipping seen in Conker's BFD in the level "Enter the Vertex." *
* You can enable the Software Vertex Clipper by selecting "Software *
* Vertex Processing" in Video Settings. Rice 6.12 only. *
* *
* Q: 1964 1.1 and PJ64 1.6 support cheats, what gives? *
* A: I never implemented a menu scheme to modify and activate cheats. *
* In the meantime, PJ64 1.6 can load "permanent cheats" that correct *
* some big issues. (i.e. Zelda SubScreen Delay Fix, and Pokemon Snap) *
* *
* Q: I am experiencing graphics glitches in X game. *
* A: That's not really helpful. The most common graphics issues *
* result from Rice Video's lack of [Hardware] Framebuffer Emulation. *
* Garbled textures, missing effects, bad vertex clipping, and black/ *
* missing textures can be a result of a plugin incompatibility rather *
* than a port incompatibility. Check your PC for compatibility with *
* the closest Rice Video plugin to determine if the bug is in fact a *
* regression or something that can be fixed. Next, you can do some *
* research to find out what type of bug you are encountering and if it *
* can be fixed. Emutalk.net forums and BigHead's compaitibility list *
* are helpful here. Gonetz' GLideN64 dev blog has great explanations *
* for N64 HLE graphics problems here: http://gliden64.blogspot.com/ *
* After that, report the game, tell me exactly whats wrong, what *
* emulator and plugins you're using, include a screenshot, and I might *
* look into fixing it. Otherwise... Don't bother! *
* *
* Q: I am experiencing a crash after X in Y game. *
* A: Make sure you are giving the emulator enough RAM, and try setting *
* Texture Memory to AUTO. Some games handle the auto texture memory *
* trick better than others. If crashes persist, report the game, *
* emulator & plugins, how to reproduce the crash, and any combination *
* of plugins that worked in the past. *
* *
* Q: PJ64 1.6 doesn't play opening animations all of the time. Why? *
* A: There are some changes to PJ64 where previous optimizations don't *
* work as gracefully. The result is that some opening animations get *
* skipped at the cost of good emulation speed. *
* *
* Q: Turok Dinosaur Hunter doesn't work or crashes on me. Why? *
* A: PJ64 1.6 won't boot it due to optimization issues. 1964 1.1 will *
* only boot it with audioMusyX. Both emulators will eventually crash, *
* either randomly, or after the first key is recovered. Mupen64 would *
* be needed to play this game fully. *
* *
* Q: Players 2 and 4 are unplayable in Conker's BFD deathmatch. *
* A: Sorry. Again, this is a core issue. *
* *
* Q: Can I tweak the speed of a game? *
* A: Yes. Adjust the Counter Factor value in the emulator's .ini or *
* .rdb. A lower CF value emulates closer to a real N64, while a higher *
* CF value will create a better experience on old hardware like the *
* Xbox. Generally, adjusting CF will do a better job than Frameskip. *
* *
* Q: Load/Save States as well as the In Game Menu cause me crashes. *
* A: Yes, these bugs have been around since Surreal64 1.0. They are a *
* result of the emulator and plugins running natively with the lower *
* level xbox functionality written into various parts of Surreal64. *
* Most emulators for the Xbox include a simple App that the emulator *
* is built ontop of.with Surreal64, when a problem occurs, the *
* interface becomes inaccessible.
