Hi all,

I have been trying to get the Final Fantasy IX battle transitions to work using Pete's OGL plugin. Unfortunately I get no transitions and only a black screen using the settings others have posted.

The transitions works with Pete's D3D, but D3D is too slow all around.

I am using a Geforce2 GTS, 1.2 Tbird, 256 DDR, XP Pro system with the 14.40 Nvidia drivers.

Also, I tried to use the "Framebuffer read" game fix that Pete's OGL has, but unfortunately FF IX crashes when you try to enter the game world with it on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try changing this in your display settings (not the plugin settings; the Windows display settings): set buffer flipping mode to "block transfer"

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I've tried setting it to block transfer, as well as page flip with no luck....

However! I just now disabled FSAA 4x. Now it works. When I turn it back on again it doesn't. (this isn't the case in D3D apparently)

Hmmm very weird. I don't see what FSAA has to do with it at all but at least it works. I had a steady 60 FPS too with it on.

Maybe it is a driver bug. I'll try different dets....

Thanks again!

FSAA and Pete's OGL don't mix well with Det 4... downgrade to Det3 or just forget FSAA altogether.

I'm having the same problem on my ATi Radeon so I don't think it's the Det drivers. Wish I could fix it...

I have a similar problem on my Radeon 64...Some setting i set can get it to work partially, but then the game slows WAY down...and the color of the transition is yellow. I'll toy around with it and see if i can get it to come back. then post my settings.

I noticed a similar "problem" with splashscreens in certain games that would not display correctly, ie flicker horribly, whenever the "let application pick FSAA mode automatically" option was enabled.
Choosing a mode manually or turning it off altogether would fix this however. Probably bad drivers. (21.83)

use eternal spu and check every box except for <wait for xa buffer is free> and <show realtime config menu>
Final fantasy 9 works perfect on my computer being that is pretty beefed up i get no slowdowns before and after battle!
