Problem with Donkey Kong 64

[LMK]

Hi!

I got a prob with DK 64!
When i start it, it says "No Expansion Pack found!"
Is there a plugin for it? If yes, where can i get it?
Thx!

Well actualy ... with vr. 1.5 of PJ64 it shud always recognise an expansion pack ... just try using Jabo's direct 3d 6 1.5
graphics plugin with version 1.5 and you shud have no problem

Hmmm...k got the 1.5 version now!
But when i load the Rom, and it starts emulating, i only get a message saying: "In a permanent loop that cannot be exited. Emulation will now stop. Verify ROM and ROM Settings."
What's wrong this time???

bit strange ... make sure you ARE using Jabos plugins (work best with PJ64) but i think you MAY need to d/l the rom from sumwhere else ... sounds like a bad rom.. i may b wrong

Bad rom definetly. Try going download the good-to-bad patches found below where you get goodn64 and try to patch it; it's the easiest way.

Hmmm...i don't think, it's a bad Rom! Cuz it works on Nemu!
But there's this Expansion Pack problem again X_x

May be it works on Nemu, but that doesn't mean it's still a bad rom. Get goodn64 below and scan it. You'll need to know what version it is to patch it; and you'll know if it's good or bad afterwards as well.

But when i load the Rom, and it starts emulating, i only get a message saying: "In a permanent loop that cannot be exited. Emulation will now stop. Verify ROM and ROM Settings."

This problem is typical for bad roms.

The permanent loop problem is not always because of a bad ROM

Possibly the self modifying code handling method is
insufficient. Most Rare games *require* Protect Memory.
Please make sure the self modifying code handling method
is set to Protect Memory.

True. But it is also good to know if it's a good or bad rom.
