Installed project on a different pc for the first time in 7 months. Every thing went fine, Ive got the controller worling and everything. But when i Load the game I get failed to open file. Is there a noob thing I have done wrong?

Did you reset the rom directories and check in the settings to see what folder it uses for the roms?

What does n64 players use on threshold? If i have to high number i cant jump, if i have to low its hard to run/pivot.

SuPeRbOoM · Aug 2, 2011

try using 80

Olikus · Aug 3, 2011

I actually looked on the adapter thread, and went to ccontrol panel for controller settings, and it all worked out =)

I have a new pk64k problem. It takes ~20 seconds for a kaillera game to start up and people end up dropping thinking that the game isn't opening. It is a fairly new problem (though it doesn't seem to have anything to do with connection speed) and everything else is perfectly fine. Is there any way to improve the start up speed?

I've played against a guy with the same problem, and he said it was because he was playing the game directly from a USB stick.

Do you have it stored anywhere other than your hard drive?

Nope, it is even stored in the same directory as another install of pj64k that never had the problem (it just started always crashing trying to load glide rather than the plugin I had selected).

I wonder if installing a copy of TinyXP rather than the ASUS OEM copy I am using right now will fix my persistent pj64k problems. If I can find a USB cd drive to borrow I will try that.

nvm .

SuPeRbOoM · Aug 5, 2011

Just a load time for the video plugin. When I use Jabo's 1.6(3D8), it loads instantly, but when I use glide it takes like 5 seconds.

Is there a way to edit .krec files?

Good escape mashing is related to good DI

It's really not that hard to have good escape mashing. When I'm ready for it, I can escape pretty much before DK comes out of his jump animation- and I have notoriously slow fingers.

Anyways, if it's not effective against good players who do it right, I wouldn't make it a fundamental part of your game. The other good players will probably catch up someday (e.g. when DK matters)

Mashing isn't going to get you far, i have been practicing legit DI inputs and it is much more effective and improves your game, you can also just use the congo hold escape trick for DK.

Battlecow · Aug 8, 2011

Everything in that post is wrong.

#HBC | ѕoup · Aug 8, 2011

unless i'm not interpreting what you said, you were talking about mashing random directions is related to good DI, when i rebbutted and said that actual inputs are better than mashing, then some **** about escaping DK and i mentioned congo holds

Battlecow · Aug 8, 2011

-Being able to mash buttons fast is a critical component of both good wiggling and good DI.

-It's "Cargo Hold"

- We were talking about escaping DK's cargo hold fast enough so that he couldn't throw jiggs out of it and follow with a GP. This requires mashing, not whatever cargo-stall escaping technique you were talking about.

The Star King · Aug 8, 2011

What does button mashing have to do with good DI? Only if you're playing keyboard, bro >_>

Battlecow · Aug 8, 2011

I know you don't ever really play on controller, but do you really not see the connection between being able to mash + wiggle quickly and being able to wiggle the stick quickly?

Like I said, good escape mashing is related to good DI.

+ we were kinda talking about KB SO THERE

The Star King · Aug 8, 2011

Correct me if I'm wrong, but most people rotate the stick on controller when they are trying to escape DK's cargo hold, which anybody can do, but it isn't going to cut it for DI.

Anyways, I though you were talking about just button mashing, not button mashing + wiggling stick. You only threw that in there now.

We were talking about KB, but you can assume that Soupa wasn't.

Hiphiphooray · Aug 8, 2011

Hey, I was hoping for some advice on how I can improve. I recorded myself playing a few games with my mains:

Falcon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uyHP919fyI
Pika: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uyHP919fyI#t=2m33s

Any tips on how i can improve and what i should practice doing would be great.
thx

my ISP caps my upload speed at 1MBPS, so when i play online the best possible fps i can get is ~50. I have a few friends i play locally, but no way to record my console games. I know computers are not ideal, but i'm trying to improve and playing computers is better practice than playing 10 laggy seconds online before a desync. =(

dandan · Aug 9, 2011

btw, kaillera needs less than 1mbps of upload to run at full speed, and the lag can be a symptom of another problem.

army man · Aug 9, 2011

OK, i'm getting smash 64 today and i was wondering what's a good starter character?

I play just fine without lag on 22kB/s up, bandwidth is not the problem (even if you meant Mb/s, that is still enough).

Kirby's the easiest to learn, but everyone will secretly hate you if you play him

Falcon's the manliest and most fun (no matter what the haters say)

Pikachu's "the best"

No one plays Mario but he's pretty good, so you could pick him and be original

Some people like Fox IDK why I think he's boring

Yoshi is wacky and different, really his own character

DK's tons of fun and no one plays him either

You can pick a ****ty character if you want, but I'd advise against Ness, Jiggly, Luigi, Link, or Samus- they're too ****ty for me personally, although some people get really good with them.

^^Tier list

army man · Aug 9, 2011

OK thanks, i haven't played smash 64 for like 10 years.

SuPeRbOoM · Aug 9, 2011

Use whoever you like and is fun to you.

The Star King · Aug 9, 2011

You have horrible taste in who's fun and who's not, Battlecow.

Although I do think anybody can learn to enjoy any character if they want to.

SpeedGhost · Aug 9, 2011

Link is the most fun to play when you get really good i think. love that dude

ballin4life · Aug 9, 2011

FUN tier list

S
Yoshi

"Fun to play" Tier List. In my experience, anyway.

S tier: Link
A tier: DK, Falcon, Fox
B tier: Pikachu
C tier: Mario
D tier: Samus, Puff, Yoshi, Luigi
E tier: Ness
F tier: Kirby

EDIT: Wow Ballin you beat me to it.

The Star King · Aug 9, 2011

THE REAL UNDENIABLE FUN TIER LIST:
S tier
Link/Yoshi

A tier
Fox/Falcon(if you don't go for just boring uair combos)
Jigglypuff
Samus
Ness

B tier
Pikachu
Kirby
Luigi/DK/Mario

Edit: On second thought, this list isn't really fair since I have more fun with low tiers simply because I win too easily with high tiers. This isn't really the characters' fault, but me being too good /arrogance. I bumped Fox and Falcon up to make up for this, but I didn't really for Kirby and Pikachu. Also, Yoshi was my least favorite character for a long time, which shows to me that you have more fun with characters that you are adept with. Anyways, it changes a lot; some days, I have the most fun with like, Mario, and hate Fox.

Wow this is dumb why did I post this

Surri-Sama · Aug 9, 2011

link pikachu and falcon are the most fun for moi...rest are about the same

Yeah I like Jiggs too. Best move in the game. :troll:

army man · Aug 10, 2011

wow i just finished playing, i finally picked link as my main. fighting polygon team on very hard is so hard(if it's easy for you.....wow is all i can say)! pikachu looks like a gummybear rofl and his taunt is so weird. i love 64.

Surri-Sama · Aug 10, 2011

maining link in competitive play at an early stage may give you some woes... but he is fun.

army man · Aug 10, 2011

thanks for the tip. i just got it so i'll probably change mains a couple of times over but link is alot of fun to use.

Limaçon · Aug 10, 2011

I am surprised at how low DK is on all those lists, I would put him at S tier fun.
