Hi everyone, hi Lewpy!
I've been testing your newest plugin version
with FF7. It seems to have improved the off screen
drawing, or whatever it is that does the hand icons and things like that. I can now see the
"target" text that appears over monsters heads!
And the fine lines in the countdown counter
(when you blow up the first reactor) are appearing
now!But, Tifa's slots are still rotating slowly

Anyway, i just wanted to say good job, and give you some input. Thanks for making such a great plugin!

 

[Lewpy]

Glad things have improved
I am curious as to what versions of my plugin you are comparing. Are you saying all these changes happened when you went from v1.34 to v1.35, or from an earlier version?

 

[1up]

Wow, thanks for replying so quickly.
Yeah, it was going from v1.34 to v1.35.
I guess the fix you did for Xenogears
helped Final Fantasy 7 too. At least i
guess that was it? I didn't change any of my
settings from the previous version, so whatever
you did, it helped!

[Lewpy]

Cool, unexpected improvement bonus

 

[OMNiSLaSH]

Yeah.

It's just me, or the Offscreen Drawing was improved too?
Cuz i i'm playing Xenogears
with OSD EXTRA+FBR
and FB Acess READ/WRITE.
And it's full60FPS in a [email protected]
even FF9 battle Transition screen i can get about 45FPS with OSD ser EXTRA+FBR

Hurray man!

 

[RedDwarf]

If I use FB with Read or Write/Read on FF9 (Spanish Version, PAL), the emulator crashes after I press "New Game" (before the Video).
It says: "Opcode 1f UNK (PC 00000080) (1098,77)"
I use a Voodoo 3 2000 AGP with Omega Drivers 1.03 on an AMD K6-2 350
And with any plugin of sound and CDROM

 

[OMNiSLaSH]

oh I forgot to mention. That happens here too.

What would it be though, making Tifa's slots go so slow? Would that be experimental flipping?
The menu bar where the limit breaks appear
won't even be shown without flipping on....
So could that be the culprit?
hmmmm.....
