i have tried many of my n64 roms on the gamecube using pheonix but they all freeze after saving. so i looked on a few sites for some that might work and i found a couple that where .gcm and where 520mb and they worked but i cant find any other games (i only got zelda ocarina of time and marion 64) is there any way that i can make my roms that size and turn them into a .gcm file so it will work? i have tried just loading the games using pheonix 2.3 and none work even zelda (wich from what i hear works) i am looking for only majoras mask right now OR a way to get my copy of zelda collectors edition to work since i freezes after i select a game.
the way to stop it from freezing after you save is to.....: boot up your gamecube without the memory card in, then when the game (n64rom) promts youto save put in your blank memory card. n64 roms need a separate memory card to gamecube save files.. then remove it straight after youve saved. hope that solves your problem
can somebody explain how I can play n64 roms using my gamecube? Can I just load the game using the Paradox GC Disc Server? (yes, I used the search button, and this is the only n64 topic I could find)
yeah yeah, I figured it out on my own. I played it with StarFox 64 and it ran perfectly! But when I ran it with Super Smash Bros it had no sound and the stages had only shown the background (it didn't show your character, enemy, and the environment. How do I save games with it? How does it save? I know some N64 games require you to save with a memory card, but some use system or cartrage data.
Two more question. Does it support games that would require a Expansion Pack(Like Donkey Kong 64)? Second question, how well does it work with huge games(like Conker's Bad Fur Day)?
I'm also having problems booting N64 games. With goldeneye, it freezes just as the "reading disc" bar fills, and with super mario 64 it goes to a blank screen right after the bar finishes. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Or do some games just not work?
the only n4 games that ive heard work are the three zeldas (inc. masters quest).. if your so keen to play them on yourgamecube and they arnt working get 'project 64' and play them on your pc, it is the best emulator by far and youll probably get the best performance this way.
my computer is too weak to play a N64 emulator (clocked at 800mhz, 256mb ram), and I don't need to emulate Ocarina of time or Majora's Mask because I got them when I bought my Gamecube in the Zelda Promotional Disc.
the minimum spec for n64 emulator 'project 64' is a 350mhz processor and 64mb of ram, a 3d accelator card is ideal upwards of 8mb... this would run n64 roms a lot more effciantly than on your gamecube! also just asking my brother now he says almost any game for th n64 can be played this way.. he says he has about 30 at the moment. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Nintendo Gamecube Phantasy star 1+2 Broadband Adapter Cubesoft Phoenix 2.3 Build 133 ...and loads of bad luck![/small]
Can you tell me your specs? If you do not know them download the program aida32 then tell me.. are you running other programs whilst playing them? If you are running windows xp press ctrl+alt+del then go to the processes tab and end some of the stuff you are not using..
Hey why r u converting the n64 roms 2 GC its easier and works a lot better if you just run the games on a 64 emulator like project 64 you can download it at www. bestromsites.com and then go to checkpoint or if you want net play with the roms like smash bros which work great even if you have a win 98 but you can only use net play with project64k just put the name under search and also do you know where i can get some good GC roms
im actually dont had any problems playing N64 roms on Gc with da phoniex although i prefer to play them on an emulator here da list of rooms i got Banjo/Kazooie works with Phoneix and with project 64 at 80% to 90% percent efficiancy BanjoTooie have problems sometimes w/Phoneix Project 64 100% and above Zelda Mayoras mask Phoneix Ok Project64 50 to 80% Conkers Bad Fur Day Phoneix Ok Project 64 70 to 90% Star Fox 64 Phoenix it fresses a little bit sometimes while lodaing Project 64 100% and above Mario 64 Phoneix images um look VERY WEIRD sometimes the same with Project 64 i think its corrupted dont know Smash Brothers Works perfectly with both Phoneix and Project64 Zelda Ocarina of Time Phoneix sometimes doesnt want to start sometimes it does Project 64 90% and above 007 Phoenix Ok Project 64 80% Neon Genesis evangelion64 Phoenix works perfectly Project 64 it slows down to 20% when passing to another stage and that really get my nerves up otherwsie in battle 80% and above Donkey Kong Pokemon staduim 1 and 2 works fine with Phoneix dont work with Project 64 Turok and Turok2 sometimes dont want to play on Phoneix 50 to 70% on Project64 Doom 1 and 2 works perfectly on Phoneix 40 to 60% on Project 64 Perfect Dark my favorite game =) somtimes weird errors on Phoneix 90% and above on Project64 sometimes it doesnt work Mario Party1, 2 and 3 dont work with Phoneix but wor perfectly on Project 64 100% and above by the way i have a Win98 256mb ram itreally depends if it doesnt work on Phoneix it may work on Project 64 try both have fun and if you have any other game that and have problems with it just post it here Tips for increasing the percentage on Project64 Start your computer wait till all the Auto programs show up close all applications not necessary like Norton antivirus or Kazaa emule irc messenger etc etc open project 64 and start the game that way it sometimes increases the percentage Enjoy Maria =)
