Fire Yoshi Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I recently downloaded this emulator, but it's giving me problems. Every time I try to play a ROM, it says "Cannot open ROM because plugins have not successfully initialised." Then it says "Plugin Initialising" on the bottom left corner of the emulator's face, which doesn't go away. I left it go for an hour, it still wouldn't initialise. Does anybody know the solution, if there is any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniper Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 just fyi, SFO doesn't support roms or emulators, so this thread is probably gonna get locked. just go to a game store and buy the game (N64s are only 20ish bucks and the games are usually 10 or less) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the issue. What plug in you using, and what game you trying to play, and on what system (a PC with a graphics card or laptop) also, have you tried mupen? btw, is your new icon done by that live-to-tell guy?

Sarita Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 See if you can find version 1.6. You can play it straight after installation with usually no problems. I had to do that when I couldn't figure out 1.7. Don't forget our ROM policy. If you don't own a physical copy, don't talk about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't own a physical copy, don't talk about it. I wasn't aware this was the policy, I thought it was just that we couldn't talk about them at all... But since this isn't the case, if you have a copy of Star Fox 64 and want to try it motion sensored, check out my project arwiing link in my sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other then one controller that went unopened for a long time, all my controllers have a huge dead zone. Not only that, but hooking the machine up to a mordern TV is a pain, and the picture quality, for whatever reason, is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Yoshi Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 btw, is your new icon done by that live-to-tell guy? I don't know who that is. I just took a pic and made it look like my fursona. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I don't know who that is. I just took a pic and made it look like my fursona. lol I know of this policy, but I only thought it was against posting them up for use here, or things like that. I didn't think simply TALKING about them was against the rules. I smell extreme paranoia in the staff, no offense... Given how easily they are offended, it's not worth trying to tip toe around. Some will get upset if you don't acknowlage their off topic post, or even don't agree with them. As for the icon, I meant this guy. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/marian0/ Same/similar art style.

DZComposer Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 To clarify: discussion of emulation itself is not banned here, just discussion of pirated commercial games. Also, to those of you calling me overly paranoid, if you aren't in a strong financial situation you don't want to put yourself in a situation where you would end up getting sued. Quite simply, I cannot afford to defend against a copyright lawsuit. Call me paranoid if you want, but do think to put yourself in my shoes. I'm a poor college student. I spend a significant portion of my income on this place as is. A lawsuit would devastate my finances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
