Ahem... i finally managed to play saga frontier 1 and... for your own sake, dont EVER play that game!!!!

Now i have a problem with saga frontier 2. After the first part of the intro, this is, when the king speaks to his newborn son and the screen turns black, well... the image remains black, although i can still hear the music. Can anyone help me?¿?

well no i havent; but the problem has ceased, by using a little tweak. Just when the screen turns black with the musical background, i pressed Esc, to show the epsxe GUI, and used the change cd option, but what i did was to eject the cd and introduce it again. It kinda solved the problem, and once i had a saved game the problem would not repeat. Anyway, here are my specs, in case they can help you:

ah but theres still a (bearable) problem: when characters perform those cool combined attacks, some kind of aura should appear around each casting character, and it doesn't!!! I also tried it with VGS, but it wouldnt change (although sprites look much better). Maybe this problem has an easy solution but, since i know nothing about emulation or programming, i dont dare to try by myself (i had problems in the past because of this). Any ideas?

Ah OK that makes it clear. I have just tried the D3D Pete plugin and it looks far smoother, plus it works a lot faster (hwahaha no more Xenogears slow gear battles!), but that little saga 2 bug (the one of the combos) is still there, although i also tried peops plugin. Any suggestions please?

Could be an emu fault. If it does it with all GPU plugins (have you tried them all? There's Peops, Pete's OGL and D3D, Kazzuya's, NextGL, Next3D), then there's a very good chance it's an emu fault, in which case you'll have to see if it gets fixed in the next release of ePSXe.

Damn! looks like the black screen+music bug repeats everytime you go to the map to choose a path (which is done quite often), just now i have the emu paused with the game stuck in that bug, but that thing i tried before wont work again!
