sheesh Razor can't u decide which are the best settings for your card

 

Hm..I'd like to know too. I have a 9600xt 128mb. Was wondering what a good setting for it would be or if I should stick with normal 1.75.

 

well i use this (no shaders as you can see)...sometimes i put texture filtering at 4 tho

That's the thing, I have been trying out different things for the past while and just not getting the greatest results. Plus I want geforce users to tell other geforce users what would best suit their cards. Thanks hushypushy.

 

Well these setting work well and look good with most of my psx games.

oh i forgot to ask: you see where it says "no render to texture"? if i say "yes" meaning, no render to texture....can i use AA with this? will i see a performance hit/boost?

also, Razor Blade (and i suppose anyone else wanting configs), i would recommend that you ALWAYS put framebuffer effects at 3. anything else and i get MAJOR problems, especially in FF games, namely the entire game coming to a halt for up to a full second in scene switches (IE beginning of battle in FF9)

 

I'll post some shots with results soon, when I get a chance too. Hmmm I wish Pete could come on here and describe what each feature does. That would be a huge help for alot of people. *Oh Pete*

 

well the only feature i really need explaining is that render to texture thing and texture window thingy, thats all. all i know is that texwin pixel makes my emulation go slow

 

Here's my settings

clements, with FE at less than 3 i get a huge pause, noticeable when you are entering battle in FF7 and 9. do you get this? or am i just insane? :???:

 

I don't play those games! My settings' purpose is to try to remove the blockiness of the textures in some games. Lowering the Framebuffer to 2 seems to help prevent slowdowns in certain places, although I don't play that many PSX games... Pete's OpenGL2 seems to be much buggier than OpenGL, especially in menus where I get missing stuff and slowdowns.

Can't get any of the advanced filtering options to work at all yet, I get an error all the time, otherwise I'd probably use that.

 

well since you dont play those then i suppose that's why you're ok with it

 

Hmm the frame buffer effects don't seem to have much of a performance hit with my computer. The only thing that slows me is the other shader effects scale2x drops my fps in half.

 

I play on my TV and I'm extatic that this plugin exists, cuz there's no more mismatching of the pixels. everything looks as if i were playing on a real Playstation. I can't copy my settings as I'm not at home, but the most important settings are:

Resolution: Looks best at the higest that the S-Video out supports, which is 1024 x 768 of course
Internal X & Y - 2 (So the 3d parts look the best)
Hi-res textures - 2 (stretched) so that the pixels don't distort
filtering - 4 gives me filtering while leaving the sprites nice a sharp

Compatibility - everything up to fullest so i don't have to worry about incompatibilities, since everything runs up to speed.

MDEC filter - just because
GF4 fix - need it as I have a GF4
Game Fixes - the first one for FF7

I hope an option for the "PC fps calculation" will be added so where the PS hardware would slow down, the PC doesn't. For example, in Castlevania: SotN, when you beat a boss, it slows down a bunch. It'd be nice if it didn't

 

Wow, i registered a loooooong time ago. My new setup is:

AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (333 FSB)
512MB PC2700 RAM
2x40GB Raid 0 Array
2x20GB Raid 0 Array
Windows XP Pro
GeForce 4 Ti 4400
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum

ahhh.... much has changed...

Ogl 2 Is good but i prefer Ogl1.75 cause Fsaa doesn't work in Ogl 2.

 

just do resolution at 2 for both of em, turn off AA and AF, you will forget they were ever on...seriously very high res kicks ass

 

can someone help me?? please? anyone? i am using a geforce 5200 fx agp card and wondering which is really a good and nice close setting to use on OGL2 i have saw tha other posts so here are my settings for it but is there a better and good setting for it? someone please help me out , ty for your support :thumb:

tha following is my epsxe settings for ogl2 ver 2.5:

im such a idiot i finally figured it out it was tha gfx vram i kept choosing auto ever since i had riva tnt 2 and played it small size and then i fugured all tha vram was getting used by screen smoothin but now i got 5200 so i choose 128 for gfx ram and it works smooth *sighs* anyways can someone tell me if there a good setting for tha 5200?

 

if you are using the 5x.xx Forceware drivers you can use these settings, this is what i use for almost all games:

you can also put FE at 2, except in RPG games. other games it works fine though.

 

i dunno if i am i think i am i remember updating my drivers i think they are forcefare drivers? i updated them at tha nvidia page so yea so if so then i will use those setttings but tha 128mb thing worked :thumb:

:guitar:

 

just check www.nvidia.com , they are free too

anecdote time: the reason i say that they are free is because my friend bought a new computer. gig of ram, 2.8 ghz P4, TI4200. his ePSXe was going ass slow especially on OGL. so we are talking online and i told him to download new drivers. and he said "drivers? dont they cost money??" he was so surprised to find out that drivers were free

 

yea i did dat i downloaded drivers there i updated my drivers i did dat after tha 2nd day of havin my geforce 5200 fx agp so yea i guess im all set then

so then i can try these settings out??? :innocent:


:idea:

 

yeah sure, have fun with the settings...you probably wont be able to use fullscreen shaders though as they'll be too slow. you might be able to use them in a window though
