Whenever I attempt playing FF9, i get to the first "battle scene" fine, but once in battle, the screen only shows characters in the game, but not actions you can use (Fight,Summon,Steal,etc), can somebody help me out with what to do with this?
I am using Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.50(video), ePSXe SPU core 1.4.0.(sound), ePSXe CDR ASPI core 1.4.0.(CD ROM), and bios\SCPH1001.BIN (BIOS).
o yeah, guess i should mention that i have a TNT2 vid card

*EDIT* I added the part about TNT2

offscreen drawing perhaps?

 

[darkshot_4030]

ive tried moving the screen location to check if it was that, well it wasnt

czb182 is correct.....

It's your "off-screen drawing" setting.

Put it at
2: Standard.

you probably have it set at 1:Minimum, or maybe even 0: none

And now for a bonus:
Check your Special Game Features.
Hit the ... button that's behind the text
Check the last option....Special for FF9 and should only be used for FF9. It will highlight the names in the menu.

It's not standard but enhanced for FF9.

Standard works just fine

I'm using Pete's D3D 1.49 and using standard drawing (2) works just fine.

When I use enhanced for FF9 I get TV static during the transitions to the movies...it bugs me so I use Standard...and you can see the menus in standard. If enhanced is hidding anything, I haven't noticed it.
