Can someone please tell me the best options to choose (good balance between speed and good graphics) when playing FF9? I'm using Pete's 1.48 driver even though I have a Voodoo3 (Lewpy's driver seems slower on my computer, some insight?). Oh, and please include your recommended sound plugin. thanx.
I would also like to mention that my system is a celeron 400 and that right now, in normal walking mode, I get around 50+ fps while in battles I only have at most 40 fps.
Try this but its not mine...i use this setting provided in psxemu.com site and score perfect on ff9 but early in the game i think u should use epsxe core sound!!!

These setting should work for most people, but if you are experiencing
choppy/distorted sound, then you probably need to mess with your "Buffer
Length" and "Block" settings. Try making the "Buffer Length" higher, and
the "Block" lower.
