hi!
i'm playing ff8 for a while now. with the change to cd3 i encountered a strange graphic bug, which makes the game almost unplayable.
atm i can only use images. my discs are >200 km away.
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
Asus A7N8X-E
2 GB RAM
Saphire ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (128 MB)
ePSXe 1.7.0
graphic example cd2:

and here with cd3: (same settings!)

for some reason, the complete ingame text is covered with black shades.
here are my settings. as you can see, they worked fine .. until cd3 oO

i have allready failed with the following things:
- according to the faq i changed the offscreen drawing values --> doesn't work
- www.lordkane.co.uk/ff8 ogl1 & ogl2 config --> doesn't work
- i have tested all (software) gpu drivers and played with every! option
- tested an old play station and a new psone bios
- tested 2 different isos --> 1 x downloaded / 1 x my own iso (ccd image + subchannel infos) --> my original
any ideas? have i overlooked something? please help!
// edit:
i found the problem:
my savegame via F1 was buggy. i restarted the game with the ingame savegame between cd2 and cd3 and this time, the text is ok
