Question / Help Trouble Streaming Project 64 1.7 (Win 7 64-bit)

[ONLYUSEmeFEET]

Hello, I tried Streaming this last night, and it wouldn't pop in in Game Capture. At the bottom, it said that PJ64 is incompatible with Win 64 bit and I should use the 32-bit version, so I got the 32-bit version, and then it said its incompatible with 32-bit and I should use the 64-bit version. I know it can work because I've seen people use OBS with PJ 64 somehow. Is their an older version of OBS I can try or something?

Project64 doesn't have any DX9 plugins natively as far as I'm aware, so you'll have to use a different one. I recommended using 1964 emulator with the community plugin, anyway. You can grab it here: http://code.google.com/p/emu-1964/

If you still want to use P64, still download 1964, and copy over the RiceVideo.dll from the 1964 plugins folder.

Once you've got that working, I suggest looking into hires texture packs. If you play games like Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask, there are some really awesome texture packs out there that make things look really sweet now without changing the original art style of the game.

Here's my favorite for OOT, for example: http://www.emutalk.net/threads/51481-Ze ... ment-Topic

Thanks for the suggestions, but neither of them worked out. The 1964.exe does nothing when I double click it (I got multiple versions, all have this issue) and the RICE/1964 plugins in PJ64 1.6 and 1.7 cause crashes and extreme graphical glitches. I understand that I just need DX support as I could stream with the plugins (though it'd suck considering no text popped up, graphics flickered, and crashes were abundant) but nothing I'm trying is working. Is there another plugin I could try?

Really? I just checked everything myself and it worked fine. That's unfortunate =/

Are you getting any error messages or something? The Rice plugin worked just fine for me with P64 1.6 and 1.7

What game are you trying to play?

If all else fails, there should be an OpenGL plugin for P64, no? That will work with Game Capture as well.

I tried Game Capture with the Glide64 plugin on the 32-bit version of OBS, of course (as 64-bit Game Capture doesn't hook anything 32-bit), and it was working fine. I consider Glide64 to be the best video plugin for PJ64 1.7 as well. If it still for any reason doesn't work for you, give me a PM and we'll work something out from there.

Here, try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rakphjbkbii0d ... 20r146.rar

It's my 1964, with all my settings and stuff exactly as I have them. This 100% works with Game Capture, tested repeatedly myself.

Thanks for that, but for some reason my computer is not booting the EXE. I have more than enough power to run any emulator (I can do PS2/GC emulation fine) but nothing is popping up when I start 1964. I tried running in as an adminastrator, running it in compatibility for XP/Vista, and directly dragging files into the exe, and nothing even shows up in Task Manager. I have no idea why I couldn't run it, I would at least expect it to crash or something. Is there some known issue about this? Again, thanks for the upload, just with I could use it. :/

Glide64 gives me graphical errors and I'm not sure what the best config is. Everything I try either crashes my emulator or makes the aformentioned problems worse. I've tried putting everything on Max and Min and both wield terrible results. I'll PM you and if you could screencap your settings in Glide that'd be killer. (The game I'm trying to run is Pokemon Stadium 2, if that matters) Thank you. Thank you both.

That is....very odd. I have no idea why that could be the cause. Overzealous antivirus maybe? Are you getting any error messages at all or is it just not starting?

Can you try starting it again, then immediately go to your Start Menu search, type in "Event Viewer" and then under Windows Logs on the left, select Application and try to find stuff related to the 1964 exe. It sounds like something really weird is going on with your system and this may clue in what it is.
