hey
can any of yu guys help me?
i have an ATI Radeon 9550, and was wondering what the best graphic plugin to use for the ePSXe?
im using - Pete's DX6 D3D 1.76 Driver at the moment, which works ok, but the graphics are not exactly the greatest. i think they cud be better but not sure how to go about it? wud i need to download another plugin or just tweak the driver settings?

- i have uploaded a screen image of the settings which i currently have for this driver (not sure if it helps??), it is saved as a word document -

any help much appreciated

try pete's OpenGL plugin

what game are you playing?

It would depend on the game and on your other specs, and it might be a bit trial and error considering framerate, but I would definately try OGL2 as well. I've been able to get games running with that plugin using a crappy 9200se.

appreciate the help

im playin final fantasy series ( 7 and 8 in particular ) which i am running from the CD ROM. i will try openGL2 and let yu kno the results. ive attached dxdiag if yu want 2 take a look at the spec
cheers dude(s)

just tryed the openGL2.

the movie cut scenes do look less pixelated and smoother but however the sound skips a bit. When it comes to actually controling the the play, the screen looks sort of hazy and not clear - not to the point were its not visible, but is noticeable.

Again i have attached the settings screen of my setup for the openGL2

Hi-Res textures <-- set this to 0/disabled or 2/stretched for the skip problem

also set the Framebuffer effects to 2 for better compatibility

and disable the Full screen filters for the hazy picture, or just disable one of them, that should help a lot basically

edit: oh yeah, set your texture filtering to 2 or 6

it all helps me play perfectly on my 9500pro

also, if u dont like those skips when playin you should try to make a ISO of the cd and play it from there

edit2: Pete's plugins have a paste to clipboard button so just past the config here

edit3: try to avoid double posting on the forums, u can edit ur own posts if u like, and well, we like

ohhh yeah, activate "Special game fixes" and the FF7/FF8 option you open from the "..." button on it (forgot to mention before)

edit1: well, that is my best config so far for it, sorry it didnt work for you then, i was actually playing FF8 this days for like the 14th time (i just love that game)

 

[_sephiroth_]

holy **** it worked ! (excuse my french)

finally got it runnin smoothly! i guess those game fixes dun tha trick. yea ff8 is a great game..but nuthin beats the gud old ff7..that game is absolute genius:lol:
