Problems with graphics

[michaeltheiii]

I mostly just play Super Mario 64, but I have noticed problems and I hope someone can answer my questions.

1. Unless I am on slopes, my shadow doesn't show.


2. Inside, the Sun Carpet never shows up unless I'm at the one spot in this picture, and it only shows half of it.



If I switch in the graphics settings from Direc3D HAL to RGB Emulation, these are fixed, but PJ64 runs extremely slow and Mario appears black in the beginning title page.


Can anyone help me with this?

Here is my system stuff, my signature didn't work the first time, let's hope it does this time.

Somewhere in the config of the plugin you're using it should also tell you what graphics card you have.

seems like some kind of z-plane problem? idk

It's a problem with the graphics hardware, but the second screen looks depth-buffer-relative or the like. Like the 16 or 32 bits option the overcoder dude pointed out in the RiceVideo config.

How can I check what my graphics card is?

Does this help?

Device------
Name: Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset Family
Chip Type: Intel GMA 950
DAC Type: Internal
Approx. Total Memory: 224 MB

If this doesn't help, please tell me what does?

[dsx_]

yes that does help, that graphics hardware has known issues with project64.

[michaeltheiii]

So, is there any way I can solve these graphic problems?

Help much appreciated so far, thanks!

I'd much appreciate help if there is a way to fix these, if there isn't please let me know!
