And by that I mean 60 frames per second is not the same as 60 fields per second (which is what the NES outputs).

If there was no push for 3D games, then there would be no motivation to build better 3D acceleration hardware.
Had consoles had stuck to 2D sprite-based graphics then they would be trapped in a local maxima.

This is what I did with the playoldgames patch.
Open the cracked exe with the hex editor, then find for either PDRAW.dll or DDRAW. dll and replace it with ODRAW.dll.
It's working fine for me in comparison to the german patch that uses dgvoodoo.

I have a problem with this game. whenever I try to emulate the N64 version the lower part of the screen is totally gone. so I don't know what's up with that. well, at least I got to experience that game for a long time so I don't really know when that shitty error popped up but it's been around forever since.

You have it backwards.
Lots of people play vr games because those games, run on modern PCs, run at very high framerates.

Also most 2D games run at 60.

Also the game runs at 20 on the N64

>> No.4342578

Almost.
The german patch runs damn well, but the game's iso needs to be mounted, and you need to run it in administrator mode.
>Link to everything you need: https://mega.nz/#F!UVtTjDpT!3uzGLXgtq1k3ORNRy6kJJg
What to do:
•Mount the iso by right clicking > open in explorer
•Run the patch from anywhere
•On the patch, choose extract audio and cutscenes
•Once installed, make sure that audio is enabled on the installer, except for reverb. Reverb causes issues for some reason.
•Crank up the graphics settings. For some reason it defaults to low.

If you have no audio in game, run it in administrator mode, it won't recognize your audio card without it for some reason.
Also, sometimes the cutscenes crash the game, just press space to skip through them if that's happening to you.

>> No.4343042

Is anyone else annoyed by the fact that the only time your pit droids repair your part is when you win a race you haven't won before?

Like, if you complete all of the circuits, winning 3rd or better, then your parts are stuck with the damage they're at, no possibility for repair.
