While we're waiting on the Element problem to be fixed, I decided to finally do something about the subpar settings I was using in Project64. (I MIGHT even actually get around to finishing Castlevania 64 like I've been meaning to).
I had been using the default Jabo plugins, which work well enough for most games, if not perfectly, but I was getting all sorts of shitty-looking textures and audio pops.
Turns out what I needed to do was download the Glide64 graphics plugin (the setup of which uses a wrapper file, so that took a little troubleshooting too) and the Shunyuan's HLE Audio pack plugin for sound. Both work really well (here's the fixed HUD

), though the main menu of Castlevania 64, which uses a kind of magnifying glass-styled look, doesn't load right (

). However, the exact same type of menu (Options from the in-game pause menu) works as intended. Not too big a deal, but something that should be noted. As far as the audio goes, I didn't test too much, but the audio pops seem to be completely gone.
As I understand it, this graphics plugin also apparently supports hi-res imported textures, so I'm wanting to test out Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness for that.
(Oh good, it did work. That last version of Voat wouldn't let you post a new topic if you were brand new.)

Ok, I just heard this and had to say something.
"The first time I picked up an NES controller, I thought it was the most obtuse thing ever. I had no idea what to do."
I...whaaaa? What kind of stupid nigger can't pick up on one of the most intuitive pieces of technology on the goddamn planet? It's four fucking buttons and a movement pad; it's not fucking rocket science.
