Last year or so, I used to stream casual runs of old school nintendo game to twitch. I never had a single problem. Recently, I built a new, and faster computer. While attempting to stream a good classic last night, I ran into some errors. Now, the errors that occurred, technically happened on the emulator side of the equation.. However! The errors only occurred of OBS was open, and attempting to Stream/Preview Stream.
The first error I was getting said...
"Failed to initiate GFX"
It would happen as soon as i tried to load the rom up into the emulator.
After playing with multiple (earlier) versions of the emulator.. The next error I received was;
"An exception occurred when trying to change windows"
This one was different. This one happened whenever i pushed the emulator into fullscreen. It would freeze, and I would have to ctrl-shift-esc my way out of it, or restart.
Again... Both of these errors only occurred when OBS was open.
I tried both the 32bit, and 64bit versions. And I also ran both as administrator.
Anyone have any ideas?
For the record, all my P64 and OBS plugins are default.
Im not very good at this whole streaming thing yet, and dont use any of the fancy stuff.
All help is appreciated. Thanks! :D
*EDIT: While doing some monkeying around, I was able to fix the problem. If anyone comes here looking for an answer to the same problem with Project64 2.X.X . The answer is...
Google: Glide64
Get the dll's and copy them over to the folder in P64 called "1.6 Plugins". Then in settings, change your Video plugin to "Glide64 for Project64"
Good luck!*
