I don't have any slowdowns in battle, just ingame on the drawn 2D backgrounds.

The FPS drops a lot in certain situations (sometimes 15 FPS or less) and controlling the character becomes very sluggish. This happens mostly when there are a number of characters on screen (although not always).

I use Eternal SPU 1.41 sound. Here is my graphics configuration for troubleshooting purposes:

Try using these settings. For FF7, try enabling the game fix and adjust the settings to what it says.
