I want to know what video and sound plugins and configurations will be best for my comp..........
I have a.......
PIII 500 Mhz
128 MB SDRAM
8MB SiS 6326 video card

Please awnser as fast as possible........

 

[Kane]

Well that machine is a little slow, but you could give it a go with E}I{'s soft plugin.

 

[MIAZ]

What about the sound.......whenever I start a game, there is usually no sound........

 

[Kane]

Well use PEOPs SPU, and enable the top 3 checkboxes in hte emu

 

[MIAZ]

Thanks, I'll try them out as soon as possible.......
Also one more question.......Whenever I choose an option in the menu, a pop-up comes saying "Thunk Connecting Failed (32->16)" What does it mean?

Well....ok...thanks.....don't get pissed.........

Lord Kane, I tried E}I{'s soft plugin...........but the frame-rate is usually at 30 fps.......Help?

 

[Kane]

I'm afraid as my celeron is still outta action, I can't really help out on configuring slower machines..... Or it may simply be that E}I{'s plugin shows the actual PSX refresh rate...

 

[MIAZ]

Could you say any other plugins that could work with SiS 6326.......

 

[Kane]

Pete's D3D 6 plugin is worth a shot, but hte SiS based soloutions really aren't tht hot.

 

[E}I{]

Hm. It should have 60 FPS in most games except hi-res ones on your system. can you post settings and tell me which game you actually want to play?
BTW of all GPU plugins i tried only Kazzia's plugin shows actual PSX refresh rate. (60/30/25/15 etc.)

 

[MIAZ]

I was trying FF5 and Legend of Dragoon........I play both games on VGS and they work perfectly at 60 fps just that they seem to have a bit of glitches on VGS........
I usually use the default settings on E}I{'s plugin and then change some of the settings........Usually I have problems like 320x460 screen size or sound problems or slow frame rate.......When I fix one of them another problem usually pops out........

I'll try the plugins you guys suggested..........

 

[MIAZ]

I tried Pete's D3D plugin but it poses the same problems.......

I tried Kazzuya........the frame rate is much better between 40-50 fps.....could you say some configs which would make it faster.....I tried lots but th fps doesn't increase over that limit.......

And any better plugins???????

 

[E}I{]

Hm. I think framebuffer sync messed it all up... And your gfx card is very slow... Never mind You'll hardly be able to make Kazzia's plugin faster, try also Knack's one. It is very fast in certain cases, too bad it is old an incomplete.

 

[MIAZ]

Knack is GOOD!!! I started FF5 and the beginning movie works at a solid 60 fps but then the problem starts........When I go to 'New Game', it reads my memcard and then it gives an error. Here it is :-

I know you said Knack is an old and incomplete but do you know how to fix that problem? Please.......Knack is my only way out of this mess......

 

[E}I{]

If I recall properly, it have savestate support and theoretically you'll be able to load state after place that caused bug to appear. Too bad plugin will probably crash at loadstate attempt.
> Please.......Knack is my only way out of this mess......
It is possible to dissassemble plugin and (more or less) quickly fix some problems here an there, but I hardly have a time to do that
Now can only think about making my portable GB emu faster without using asm
---------------
BTW you shouldn't compare plugin speeds at MDEC playback. In-game performance is much more valuable and it can be very different from speed of MDEC playback.

 

[MIAZ]

That sure was a great help.........
