What micro code? :confused:

In the case of N64.

Microcodes or ucodes are small librarys writen for the RCP to acomplish set task for rendering & audio.

In N64 emulation, since we do HLE on the rcp versus emulating instruction by instruction, we need to simulate every posible microcode (this leads to many inaccuracy in games).

On M64, I dont have a pre define list saying what microcode each game should use. So the user (that be you) is forced to set the correct microcode to allow the games to run properly.

Oh...you were talking about N64 emulation.....

[VMK dude]

But were on the site PSMonkey?

But were on the site PSMonkey?

See the html file included with m64. It tells you what microcode is best to use on what game. Just when you start up m64, before loading the rom set the correct microcode.

For example mario64 needs Fast3d, where say Quest64 needs F3DEX.

ok i will try. i am trying to get the Japan animal crossing for N64

[VMK dude]

1 thing, were is the M64 thing in on the website ,PSmonkey?

[VMK dude]

I mean, where do i enter the microcode?

[PSmonkey]

I mean, where do i enter the microcode?

in the emu. Before selecting to load a rom go down to the microcode option and change it to the desired microcode.

Small FYI, Animal Forest (Animal crossing on n64) wont work on the public build since it's too large. Yet to try it on my current private build that handles larger roms.

[VMK dude]

oh,ok

[VMK dude]
