Paper Mario 64 Discussion

Post by Noodle »

When I walk into Merlon's house, it flashes. Any way to fix this?

EDIT: This is now a general discussion thread due to it going off topic.

N64 emulation isn't complete yet like how NES emulation is. There are a lot of games wherein the emulation simply cannot properly present the game. Paper Mario is the usual example of this nowadays.

Use an accuracy-focused emulator or play on hardware.

This doesn't happen on N64 or Virtual Console.

Virtual Console is an emu. Nintendo just knows what they're doing and doesn't use the Plugin System that most N64 emulators use (so a lot of the graphical problems don't happen, though there is still slowdown where there shouldn't be).

With that said, there are configurations that can minimize the issues, but I need to know some details about your setup first. What is your operating system (including whether it's 32-bit or 64-bit) and what emulator are you using.

I mean I'm probably going to end up suggesting you switch to BizHawk either way but it helps to know what the starting point is.

I don't use a controller. Sure, it is button-heavy but the controls are not too hard. :D

In fairness, a 3DS port of the original Paper Mario (or at least N3DS-ported VC Paper Mario) would be a really handy time sink.

New rule: No Stryder7x references! It confuses me and makes me think that it's actually gonna crash the game. I know this joke by now but for people who don't know the joke, it may confuse you.

but seriously though, since this thread is now a general PM64 discussion: I tried running a loading zone randomizer of it but I have reason to believe it was built with a specific emulator in mind as I'm not seeing any transition randomizing under BizHawk\Mupen64Plus.

Loading zone randomizer? Cool, I might land in Bowser's castle at the beginning of the game! Or if I'm lucky, I might land in the parade! (*_*)-=iii=<()

When you say "help", what do you mean? That's pretty vague, do you mean help with emulator problems? Help with the actual gameplay itself?
Uh...Do I just sign here? What do you mean it should be obvious? There are people in this world...well...a whole lot of people that can't follow basic instructions!

The latter is what I need help with. I need help finding what's missing from the picture frame.

Did you find the super boots? The record disc? The weight? The way into the basement? Just look in every door if you're really stuck.

When I (Peach) am being interviewed by Bowser to see what Mario hates, do I have to be honest? I (Mario) failed thanks to honesty.

No, Bowser is a gullible dude who will do exactly as you say.
