Post your GPU Plugin Settings.

And I have the exact same card as you but never ran into those problems. I was using 1.7.0 though for ePSXe. (Except for the occasional freezing during FMV starts thanks to Save States)

Set it to

You say 800x600 W/mode doesn't go with the settings, but it works fine for me in FF9. :S And seeing that he has the exact same graphic card it should work for him too.


What else would you suggest for him to use instead of the 2/2 setting if it doesn't work? (Don't see why it wouldn't work though, unless something else on his computer is causing the problems)


And why exactly did you say the Windowed Mode 800x600 settings don't go with that 2/2 setup anyway? Would that cause some glitches somehow?
