Those arrow refer to special options.. The first points to iori's spu as it is currently the best spu for FF9 at the moment.. Or the internal spu.. Which ever sounds better to you..
The next two has "?" next to them.. These are for special graphic effects.. I have them set up for maximum effects.. It could slow down your system so set them to something like:
"write"
"basic"
This will make the games run faster but will show less graphic effects..
The last arrow is a must for FF9, FF8, and FF7.... Trust me.. It will allow you to see the battle menus.. without it, you will be playing without seeing battle options..
