Hi
I have a PIII 800 with GeForce 2 GTS. Can someone suggest some settings for me to use to play Chrono Cross at a smooth (30?) fps? I saw some guides which are for ultra fast machines. But not many for mine.

Thanks.

I used to run CC near perfect on a P3-450 with a GF2 GTS. You should be able to do the same with no worries at all. Try these settings, this is my old setup before I upgraded:

I've had CC running on my old Pentium 166, equipted with my trusty 16mb Creative Banshee. While it wasn't the most graphically impressive thing to play (frame skipping, no sound) it was playable (to my suprise). When that's the only system you have, then you have a good reason to complain about a "low end" system! :)

Thankfully, for me, those days are now over!

Running in a multiple of 640x480 will help, with sprite smoothing on (filtering 6), but the reason the 2d looks better on a software plugin is that nVidia chips (and ATI I think) blur the hardware overlay.....

I know my machine's not low end, but that's how you stop the backgrounds from being blocky.
