Playing the game is fine and I don't mind that the gallery pictures only flash for like a split-second before the screen goes black. But what's really bothering me is the Water effect on stage 4. The water's black and causes lag, making that area very difficult to play in. It looks something like this:

I'm using ePSXe v1.7.0

Plugin: Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.1.77
Author: Pete Bernert
GFX card: Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller

Resolution/Color:
- 800x600 Fullscreen - [16 Bit]

Textures:
- R5G5B5A1
- Filtering: 0
- Hi-Res textures: 0
- VRam size: 0 MBytes

Framerate:
- FPS limit: on
- Frame skipping: off
- FPS limit: Auto

Compatibility:
- Offscreen drawing: 1
- Framebuffer texture: 0
- Framebuffer access: 0
- Alpha multipass: on
- Mask bit: off
- Advanced blending: none

Misc:
- Scanlines: off [0]
- Unfiltered FB: off
- Dithering: off
- Screen smoothing: off
- Full vram: off
- Game fixes: off [00000000]

Please don't tell me about getting a new video card as a solution as I do not have a way to get a new one as of this moment. Please don't ask why. I already tried using Pete's OGL2 but this video card can't handle it.

Try with Framebuffer texture: 1.

I tried applying the Framebuffer Texture as 1 but the problem still remains. Thank you for trying though.

 

[KrossX]

I think that's the best you can go with it then. XD

Did you try with PEOpS Soft already? It should give better performance.

Set off screen drawing to 2, Framebuffer textures to 0 and framebuffer acces to 4

That's great to show the effect, but I can guess it's actually worst to the slowdown problem. >_<

 

[-StrikE-]

Those settings where to show the hole area he can leave off screen drawing to 1 but to show the whole area the other two must be set like that.
Though like you said he can try the soft plugin.


PS: turn off fps limit in the Pete plugin with ePSXe 1.7

Guys, thanks for the help. I adjusted my settings and the screen now looks like this:

However, the slowdown is still there. I also tried the soft plugin but its graphics were quite blurry and laggy. My current plugin still works the best.

what is that gun called on the bottom? i think i just missed that one when the gorilla ninja robot threw it at me

oh yeah... duh.. the flash huh. is it nice?

You should usually have better performance with PEOpS.
Make sure is setted up properly without scaling filters.

Then, just on that level you can use F7 to switch to PEOpS
and then F7 again once you've passed that area. ^_^

Has anyone figured out a way to view the gallery in this game? I've tried all sorts of gpu plugins and they all flash the picture for a second and then goes blank
