Sometimes when I go into battle, the scrren just goes to black. It is doing this for a required battle, and it does it every time. Any Fixes?

I require a more detailed description on the plugins you are using.

 

[hushypushy]

hmm i dont know much about macs...what graphics card are you using?

 

[Valcrist]

give me the mac, and what config you are currently using.

 

[atmorn]

System Config

Mac G5 power pc running OSX 10.4

Plugins:
Graphics: PEOps SoftGL.psx plugin v1.1.16
Controller: ASimpleInput.psxplugin v1.0.0
Audio: PeopsPU.psxplugin v1.1.9
CR-ROM: CDDevice Interface v0.1.0

These are all the default plugins

 

[Valcrist]

hmm, what are you using, an actual cd or an iso?

 

[atmorn]

Actual CD

 

[Valcrist]

try making an iso, also do the normal things like verify and repair permissions, these can be found under the disk utility in the utilities folder.

also make sure you turn off the dynamic recompiler option.

um... ya i have the same problem... your solution though is a different langage to me i have no idea what thoughs are and this is my first emulator so would you please help me out and talk me through the problems... i have PCSX on both MAC and windows so either answer is fine just say what type of computer your explaining.

 

[Valcrist]

Well if your going to use a PC then run epsxe it is much better than pcsx for mac. And you should be able to find ample documentation for that on the boards here.

I'm playing this game too, using an ISO.
I am unable to switch to the second disc... is there a trick?

i have a save right before the disc swap and a snapshot before the Edea battle right before it... any suggestions?

 

[fireblaster_lyz]

File--->Change Disc.

 

[LeviSnuts]

i don't see that option.

i'm running the latest PCSX for Mac OS X

hey i noticed that there's been some difficultying in using iso's with PCSX for Mac. i've been using iso's on ePSXe for PC with no problems, but am clueless as to how to get my iso's to run on PCSX for Mac. I'm using all the default standard plugins, but i see no menu options to use iso's. what am i missing? thank you!

How to use disk images with PCSX on Mac

I use iso files and other disk images all the time with PCSX. I use Toast to mount the disk image. With no CD in the drive and an ISO mounted PCSX automagically sees it and uses it.

There's a mac port of the Mooby cdr disk image plugin now

Hi I have the same problem with you. Some time when I go to some battle, the screen just goes black. I'm using Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz, Ram 1.25GB
So how can you guys fix it?

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

the black screen is where the battle swirl effect should be, which is a FBE (frame buffer effect) yu need to enable the compatibility options.

sometimes the wrong FBE settings can cause a slowdown.

I have the same problem. There is a fix, however. Turn off the Dynarec CPU thing in preferences. It will slow down the game noticeably, but it will also make the game much more stable. The points where the game sometimes has problems with the Dynarec on are before battles and before cutscenes. When I want a battle to go faster, I wait until the battle has started, make a freeze state, close the game, turn Dynarec on, and open the freeze state. Then after the battle, I freeze before the experience screen is gone, close the game, turn Dynarec off, and load the new freeze. It works quite well.
