I am playing Final Fantasy 7 using the CDs and I have 3 problems:
1. FMV sequences(cutscene videos) play very slowly, the emulator even froze once.
2. I can't see the battle swirl when encountering random battles, it just freezes for 2 seconds(just the video,
but the sound is normal) and then the battle screen appears.
3. After a long pause of the emulator by pressing Esc., the game runs without sound for about 30 seconds
Below I have included my settings and information that might become useful if anyone wants to help me
solve this problem. If you suggest a change in plugins, please post a link to the plugin.
Thank you for your time(If I didn't include something in settings, it means its 0 or unchecked)
System Specs:

cdrom -
Select Cdrom letter - FirstCdrom (my only CD-ROM drive is D, but I left it as its default setting, FirstCdrom,
because I got a mysterious error last time I set it to D, although I am not getting it anymore. Now I have tried
both settings and it didn't seem to have any effect on the gameplay at all)
Please help! :dance:
