newb build. Struggling to get twin off the ground
BadMouth:
I wouldn't give up on the old pc if the only time it crashes is when the emulator is ran.
It's probably an issue with the video drivers. You might try pulling the video card and seeing if it still crashes with the onboard video.
Yes it will run like crap, but if it runs without crashing then you know the problem is with your video card drivers.
EDIT: I seem to remember someone posting that they were getting the blue screen of death with M2 and it turned out that they needed more memory.
Howard_Casto:
Yeah model 2 isn't super demanding spec wise.
I think it requires a card that does shaders 3.0 ( or possibly 2.0) though. Pretty sure you can turn that off in the ini though.
deathrow:
Thanks much appreciated.
Will pull out the new card and see what happens.
The blue screen fault is interesting too.
:cheers:
deathrow:
Ok,
I made sure the new card was fitted correctly and all drivers installed correctly.
Disabled the old and enabled the new.
Nowt. Still crashing.
Removed the car and restored everything and even did an update.
Still crashing.
Time for google, Found a thread of old with some handy tips from badmouth.
Followed this and changed the following to a '1'.
And...
We have a game.... well sort of??
The characters are in colour but the game screen is in Black and white. Obviously the graphics chips on the main board are not up to the job.
Glitchy as hell and the sound is bad.
In general just a lacking computer.
I could upgrade the ram etc and fit yet another card but its still only a p4 3.0.
I'm not sure why the new card wouldn't cut it? It states on the box that it supports pixelshader 5.0 so would have thought it to be backwards compatible? or maybe just a dud or dirty port on the mother board.
either way this needs something a little better to run it. Shame as it owes me nowt.
Will watch and see what comes up on ebay.
Just out of interest what 2 player games on v1.0 are stable as a twin?
I know sega rally and Daytona are but what others?
Cheers
Drnick:
Since you made the change in the ini file have you put the old card back in and tried again.
