CORN - A N64 Emulator - www.emuhq.com/corn

9.22.99
The main reason I want to release this beta version to public
is that I have been driven mad by buggy graphics. 
I just cannot understand why some problems occur. Finally
I started to suspect the driver of my ATi Rage Pro. Now I
feel that it's very likely (99.99999%)that many problems are
due to the poor driver. Since I don't have any other card,
I think I'd better release it and see if those problems occur
on a TNT or a 3dfx. If my suspicion turns out to be true, I can
stop wasting my time. Well, the second reason is that I feel
my eyesight is dropping because of too much coding. So I decided
to take a break. And if many people think this is a piece of
junk, I can just relax and spend more time on balls and books.

Notes:

a. CORN needs individual configuration for each ROM. This version
only has built-in configuration for the following:

Games: SuperMario(USA)
Demos: firedemo spicerot 1964 n64stars
rotate goldcrap dextorse sinus lfc_fmi
rpa plasma fzoom liner pong hi_cfb

-It is highly unlikely that any ROMs except those run at the present time.

How do you use CORN? Its pretty simple. Just double click CORN.exe, go
to File->Load->Open and select a N64 ROM. Relax, it may take a while for
the ROM to load so be patient. You can then play the game/demo in the pop
up screen. Want to make the size bigger? Just go to the Resolution menu
in CORN and select a different setting. That's it!

b. If you'd like to help me identify the problems, please tell me 
something about running CORN on your PC.
  1. What's the configuration of your PC? (Processor, RAM, Video Card, and Drivers)
  2. Is Mario's head black in the intro?
  3. Are Mario's face and hat transparent in the game?
  4. Is the river water transparent?
  5. Do the shadows of trees flicker?
  6. Dp you see any strange polygons when Mario swims under the bridge?
  7. If you are using an ATi Rage Pro card, what's the driver's version?

Oh, sure, I know some problems, such as the pause screen and the 
turtle's shell, are due to lack of implementation. But I highly 
suspect problems in the above list are due to the driver. I want
to clear them before I get to others.

-RSP audio is not in this beta, since it's still very buggy.
-You must have DirectX 6.1 or higher.

The controller configuration:
without Joystick - Player1 SAZX IJKL TFGH NM
with Joystick - Player1 JoyBtn1,2,3,4 IJKL TFGH NM
Player2 - SAZX IJKL TFGH NM

Thanks!
