Go to the video plugin config and under the Special Game fixes tick the "odd/even bit hack".

 

Yeah I already had that ticked. I realized I should've mentioned that after I posted. Sorry.

So as far as I know those are all the basic Chrono Cross tricks. Anything else?

 

does it do that with another emulator, like PSXeven?

you may want to mess with offscreen drawing.

Are you sure you enabled the Special Fixes in general?
Anyway use another emulator like hushypushy said, i had no problem playing Chrono Cross with PCSX so you can try it.

 

lol im actually using 1.6 xD

1.6 with the " -noauto" thing set and with the even/bithack option on and it works fine. since it did work on 1.6 i didnt bother to give it a try on 1.5.2 xD but now i have ANOTHER problem *sigh* my MUSIC freezes after going to the 2nd loop of music.

for ex) first loop is normal notes in ex) abcdefg correct music but after the first loop in the background the music goes --> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa while the song itself is still playing but theres a very loud single note that drags on until the music changes =\ its annoying =\ inmagine a single note of the in game music just running on forever

 

What sound plugin are you using?
I suggest you use Eternal SPU plugin.

 

I had the same problem too. I fixed it with the odd/even bit hack.

 

Use 1.5.2 without "-noauto" Use Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.75 with these settingslugin: Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.1.75

make sure u have the 'special game fixes' option checked too, otherwise all the game fixes u enabled through it won't work!

may sound silly, but it happened to me
im using Pete's Open GL 1.73 and it works fine, i dont think there's a need for the 1.75 version

There's always room for improvement. It is indeed needed.
