and how do i enable it?

Click to expand...

Right-click on the 3dfx icon in your system tray, and select the top option "Voodoo5 5500 AGP - 3dfx Hub". Select the "3dfx Anti-Aliasing" tab (normally the default selected tab), and then click the button labelled "OpenGL/Glide". You will see a drop-down box called "Anti-Aliasing", which has a choice of options. Select either "2-Sample Anti-Aliasing" (decent anti-aliasing, light impact on performance), or "4-Sample Anti-Aliasing" (excellent anti-aliasing, heavy impact on performance). Select an "AA Demo Key", if you like, so you can switch the FSAA on and off, to see the effect. Click OK.
Now run ePSXe with my plugin, but you may want to drop the resolution down a notch or two if you are using 4xFSAA (effective fill-rate is reduced to 1/4 in this mode, but the FSAA effect makes up for it).
Toggle the AA Demo Key to see the difference between FSAA and no FSAA.

FSAA stands for Full Scene Anti Aliasing. It removes the jagged lines or Jaggies from around objects, thus giving them a smoother and more realistic look. As Lewpy said, try your game w/FSAA and then with out FSAA. I guarentee you'll see the difference.

Uh yes, I'm very sorry D33D, because my question maybe out of your prime subject....

:emb:

If you go to display properties and click on advanced, you should see some tabs marked for your card. I don't remember what they are called, but, try opening each one up and you will find one that says something about D3D options and OGL as well. FSAA settings should be in there. To help OGL to work, turn VSYNC to always off and page flipping (I'm not sure if that is what it is called), it is the other setting, to block transfer. This might help you out. I have GEForce 2 GTS card and OGL works perfectly for me. Best of luck.
