hey guys, i havent played with my emulator for a while and tried to use it again and it wont work for some reason. when i pop in the cd (ff7) and click run CD ROM, it starts to play, opens the window, but before doing anything it throws up an error saying "No WGL extensions" i think this is an error with my openGL plug in but im not sure. anyone know whats up?

Just change your video plugin to Pete's OGL v1.75 and preset to nice setting with the FF7 fixes ON and you will be fine.

 

[gsrcrxsi]

ok, i did that and nothing. it opens the window then closes. no errors though.

 

[fireblaster_lyz]

Did you setup your audio and CDR plugins as well?

 

[gsrcrxsi]

yes, they are unchanged since last time i used the program. like i said, i had everything working, i didnt touch it for a while and now it wont work. when i tried using the ogl 1.75 plugin, it maxes out my CPU and i have to manually shut down the program. i was using petes ogl2 2.6 before with no problems.

Have you tried updating your drivers?
Try running it in Windowed mode so you can see the console window and see if there is anything in there which tells you why this is happening.

Longshot:

Have you tried a non 3d plugin (eg// peops). If it works then the problem lies with your gfx drivers/setup.

 

[gsrcrxsi]

how do i update the drivers? and i am running in windowed mode.

Well use the 'copy info to clipboard' button in the plugin to paste your settings here. That should help us solve your problems

oO OK, you don't have your graphics drivers installed. Do you know what card you got in htere?

 

[gsrcrxsi]

hmm i dont know how that happened, my card is a NVIDIA GeForce Ti4200 with AGP8X (copied stright from my display settings, lol.

 

[fireblaster_lyz]

Update your drivers from www.nvidia.com

 

[gsrcrxsi]

ok thanks, one thing is confusing me though. if i dont have my drivers for my video card then how am i seeing all this?

 

[n_w95482]

It's using a generic driver that supports 2D.

 

[gsrcrxsi]

oh ok. thanks. i installed the new driver and its working now.

but now i have no sound, lol.

 

[n_w95482]

Make sure you have a sound plugin selected in the sound configuration menu (P.E.Op.S. or Eternal are recommended) and that the top three boxes are checked.

 

[gsrcrxsi]

thanks. the first and 3rd boxes werent checked thanks again for all the help guys. i dont know how i lost these drivers but they are back now.
