I had to reinstall windows today and I went and reinstalled Epsxe and all of it's plugins and so on. Anyway, Now I can get all the in game graphics to work just fine but the MDECs are incredibly slow.. I'd say they are going at least half speed and the sound IS synced to it but of course going very slowly. Rhis is true for all games but I am particularly worried about Final Fantasy IX I'm using Pete's D3D 1.47 and Null2's Sound Driver and ASPI 1.2 CD plugin MDEC's are of course on and the timing IS enabled... If you need to know the options for The plugins internally let me know but I don't wanna type them if I don't need to (BTW.. MDEC's worked fine before I had to reinstall)

Thanks.

Frame Skip is on???
Frame Skip ON in MDEC's can cause problems...

I tried with it off and on just now nope doesn't work.. Do I need to post my Vid settings?

 

[Musashi]

U tried internal CDR plugin or Pete CDR plugin???
Or a ISO (recommended)???

Sometimes there is some problem with the CD.Due to which the Mdecs skip a lot.I play smackdown2! through the clonecd image.But when I use the CD the mdecs suck.So try using ISO's for good Mdec quality.

Note that I said that I had it working BEFORE I reinstalled Windows

Did you have a newer ASPI layer (by ForceASPI) installed before the reinstall? But you could check if it is the CD that is slowing down or is it something else by doing an iso of the cd. btw newest Pete's plugin set is v1.49

Since you have re-installed Windows, you have obviously installed your graphics card drivers as well, is it possible that your graphics card (which you haven't stated) supports anti-aliasing, and it has been switched on by default when you loaded your graphics card drivers?

Try to use Barrett-Kazzuya CDR Driver, it's the fastest CD Plugin.
And then, try to use Pete's OpenGL 1.49 with 640x480 or 800x600 by 16bit and 5-5-5-1 textures.

might be the sound card, using the sq2500 i got full fps but switching to intergrated sound i got half the fps, 30 to 40, and this is with 800 duron

perhaps after you reainstalled windows you missed some of your custom settings in the OS configuration, which were changed back to default.
check if your cd drive supports dma and enable it. it can speed things a lot.

run from an iso, usualy faster.

 

[EliteTurk]

I don't have a way to make an ISO and I am not going to pay for it, I'd rather just play it on my PSX than going through that much trouble.. I dunno what to do, I pretty much say screw it as of now.. I don't know what to change.. nothing is different and I have DMA enabled on all drives that support it.. It's all the same..

IsoBuster at http://www.isobuster.com does ISOs very well and costs exactly $0 to use. Sure, it has the goofy visage of Batman on it, but other than that, works fine.
