You can use Everest Home Edition to find your motherboard name and capabilities.

jeez im using a geforce 2 mx 2200 is that really pathetic?i played all the n64 games but ders no graphicly errors thats mentioned in the game faq? i have a geforce 4 6500mx 256mb should i maybe just maybe switch to that? cuze my power supply at the moment is only 250watt,since my 300 watt burned out anyways so it might not work=.=

A GF2? Yes, most certainly so. But if it plays the games fine, then there is no point in changing it.
A GF4? For emulation, no. For games, yes.

 

[squall_leonhart]

as long as your using the Dx6 plugin, there should be no issues with a Geforce2

 

[Elric2434]

i got some of it, prob not much help
PC OS: Windows XP Media Edition
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 521 @ 2800 mhz (14x200)

thats like all i know.

 

[Elric2434]

and
System Memory 1014 MB (DDR2-400 DDR2 SDRAM)

Elric: You probably have Intel GMA 9xx integrated, which isn't bad, and is certainly more than enough for N64 emulation. The issue is in no way related to your GPU; if you're just trying to use PJ64, use Jabo's D3D8 1.6 and you shouldn't have an issue (although this won't fix the issue at hand).

 

[Elric2434]

but i wanna get rid of that error message. that wont fix it will it?

 

[Elric2434]

and what is Jabo's D3D8 1.6 anyway?

 

[squall_leonhart]

no, use the 1.6 plugin, the GMA 9xx isn't Dx8 compliant, just compatible

 

[Elric2434]

whats the 1.6 plugin?

 

[Clements]

whats the 1.6 plugin?

Options > Settings

 

[Elric2434]

i think i already am i using that tho. i wanna know how to get rid of the error message

 

[axcc123]

go to run and put this in DXDiag and look under display and tell us what your graphics card is

 

[Elric2434]

on the display tab next to "Name:" it says Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express chipset family

 

[axcc123]

that is your problem right there

 

[cooliscool]

no, use the 1.6 plugin, the GMA 9xx isn't Dx8 compliant, just compatible

Wrong. It's fully DX9 compliant, albeit lacking a TnL unit. However, that doesn't pertain to Jabo's D3D8 1.6 anyway.

axcc: goddamn it, no it's not.

Elric: try Jabo's D3D6 1.5, or Rice's (with D3D Semi-Pixel Shader combiner) 6.1.1 beta. Jabo's is notoriously strict about exception handling, and Rice's is notorious for bypassing such errors. Unless something isn't right with your ROM, Rice's should be fine.

setting it to full screen makes it work for me

 

[talker]

setting it to full screen makes it work for me

Same here! As soon the game is finished loading, press ALT + Enter, and it goes to full screen, and you won't see the error message again
