There are/were two things keeping me from looking into the issue:

1) I use Windows 7 x64, and the driver works fine in a 64-bit OS.
2) I'm currently working on a massive RDP rewrite to make use of classes and other C++ intrinsics that should considerably improve the readability of the RDP code.

Arbee pointed out to me on Sunday that point 1 is actually invalid, as it's possible to build and run a 32-bit build of MESS on a 64-bit OS, so really the only thing that's holding me back is the rewrite. And as for the rewrite, it has its own set of problems - wait until you see the video that I'm going to upload to YouTube. smile

Here's the video. Terrible compression quality, but the source video was terrible, too, so who gives a damn? whistle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY94qZAcbAM

Heh, yes something seems 'slightly' off with the colors. Kind of 'stylistic' though, like Mario crossed with that 'No more heroes' game.

Almost completely re-wrote the N64 RDP implementation to be class-based. Import from MAME.

Hello JD, maybe you know this already but the problems on Windows 32-bit binary (WinXP) still exist. smile

Well, yes, rewriting the renderer won't fix the MIPS DRC.

when had the problem been identified as a 32bit DRC issues? I must have missed that detail... does this means that disabling the DRC games might work on 32bit MESS?

N64 games won't boot on the interpreter AFAIK.
