hi i'm having issues trying to run chrono cross with epsx 1.7

here is my graphics settings
the game is stuck at around 40 fps which makes it run in slow-mo, pretty much
it's smooth, not choppy, but its practically unplayable
already tried:
-editing vram
-fullscreened vs window
-special game fixes
-editing resolution

i also have 1gb of ram and a 250mb (i think) video card. not sure what model and not sure how to check. i dont think thats the problem though.

and am utterly stumped. help is appreciated

copy settings to clipboard, and paste them.

VRAM set to 0 (autodetect)?

I wouldn't be surprised to see an ATI card...

OpenGL2 doesn't work properly on Intel GPUs. Use the Pete's or P.E.Op.S. OpenGL plugin.

can you post info on your CPU, mainly brand and model name?

 

[soaenvalcke]

that seems to solve my framerate issue! however two new ones have arose:
-game hangs for about 10 seconds when switching screens
-framerate drags back down to 30 during dialouge sequences

um im not sure. im computer-retarded. the sticker on it says gateway GT5428.

-framerate drags back down to 30 during dialouge sequences

That's normal, believe it or not.

 

[soaenvalcke]

good gravy... thatll get annoying fast.
what about the game hanging? im sure thats not normal...

 

[masta.g.86]

It's not. It likely has something to do with your plugin config. I can't help much since I'm not well-versed in using Intel graphics with OpenGL. Other members know...

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

use the Petes DX6 plugin, and set the compatibility to 3-3-2-4

 

[soaenvalcke]

thanks bud! works like a charm. even fixed the dialouge issues.

Hello. Posting in this thread cause i have a similar problem on 1.7. For me the game runs fine except for blurring type moments such as the fade screen when you enter combat. Or when a player fades in and out things of that nature. It really slows down to a crawl in those situations.

Here are the settings. I tried to copy what was posted above. But the 3-3-2-4 for Compatibility could not fit. (second 3 could only go to two.)

Its a pretty old computer yes. But never have problems running PSX games on it from a pure performance standpoint. So i dont think its just a crap comp problem.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

use opengl 1.78 and set it to 3-3-4

Ahh good works perfect now. Thanks a bunch!
