Well I am new to using emulators and this a noob question but i am a little confused on how to enable Vsync with EPSXE. Right now i am using Peops soft driver 1.16 to get of the screen tearing when i play final fantasy 7. But the graphics are bad. i did some research and i found that opengl has a vsync but i cant seem to find it. any help will be appreciated.
My specs are:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1
ATI mobility radeon 3650 256 ram
T9600 2.8 Ghz dual core
4 gigs of ram

ummm peops soft driver is on 1.18b, 1.16 is quite old, since 1.18 was released in like 2008 :/

You may also want to make sure you are using the latest epsxe emu (1.8.0) from http://www.epsxe.com/ aswell


Using vsync isnt going to help you, since the emulator usually locks the game to 60fps anyway. Vsync locks your frame rate to the refresh rate of your monitor (60hz most likely), so it would lock you to 60 fps, thus doing literally nothing lol


So i think you are experiencing a different issue.
its likely caused by using not only an outdated video plugin, but likely incorrect plugin settings.


try using petes opengl2 2.9 plugin instead.

Since your card is weak, you may want to leave your x/y resolution to either 0 or maybe set it to 1.
Your card does support it, so set your render option to frame buffer object.

dont use texture filtering

since you have an amd card, you need to manually set the video memory, auto-detect doesnt work. So set that to 256MB.

limit and auto detect fps limit.

set the compatibility to 1-2-2 for final fantasy, and then in special game fixes check the ff game fix. (for other game then ff games, you may want to try 1-3-1 or 1-3-2 compatibility aswell as 1-2-2)

using those settings should get you working.

Thanks for replying but it turns out my drivers for the graphics card was not the latest version. I updated the driver and installed catalyst control center from amd and from there enabled vsync and that fixed the screen tearing. Thank you though for answering. I appreciate it.
