im not complaining that the game is choppy, but i noticed that in some certain places, the character is moving real slow, like walking i space. not to mention the sound!
im using a voodoo3 3k display card
and i am planning to upgrade it to geforce Ti 64Mb
do u think this will help the gameplay?also, what's the best settings for the sound card plugin when playing ff9?

 

[Sylvan Sorrow]

hmm, v3 3k to geforce Ti, not sure about that one, YES you will have a performance boost, and a VERY considerable one, I did. Things will also look nicer, and you can play in 32bit color. As for sound card, I think that the internal runs fine for FF9

ok
can u pls post the settings for eternal sound card?
one thing wrong with my game is when during the movies, or fmv, some parts of the sound will be ...... um....well.....
u can hear some parts of the sound 'twice', for a short time
um.....how do i put it?
eg..
during the movies,
the sound should be 'sh...........'
but in my game, it sounds like 'sh..sh......'
this is really getting on my nerves

im using a P3 500 with 384 mb ram
what can i do

thanks!

Music?!?

Wht?!? Theres music during mdecs? I dont get any!!! help! ill post setup later...

 

[Metalmurphy]

Well, if you get any sound during the Mdec then you'll have to hear the music as well, unless the Music is an Midi and it's not from the MDEC itself.

Just curious.... what resolution are you running the game at? and what plugin are you using? If you haven't already, try using Lewpy's plugin and lowering the resolution to 640x480.

And if you upgrade to a GF3, you'll see some improvement, but not much... because a P3-500 is not fast enough to keep up with the GeForce3 and feed it enough information.

pls tell me is there anything that i should change

I'm not too familiar with Lewpy's plugin (I'm not using a voodoo card), but here are 2 things you could try changing.

*-----------------------------*---------------------*
| Plugin Configuration Item | Current Setting |
*-----------------------------*---------------------*
| Resolution | 1280x960 |
| VSync | Enabled |
*-----------------------------*---------------------*

I think your resolution is wayyyy too high for your system specs. When I was running a P3-600 + GeForce2MX, I could *barely* get full speed even at 1024x768.... even now I'm only running at 1024x768x32bit..... seeing as how your system spec is lower than mine (P3-800 + GF2MX), I'd suggest lowering the resolution down to 640x480, and disabling Vsync, and see what happens..... then slowly bump up the resolution.

Switch these two settings..

Experimental flipping to "ON" (needed for FF9 battle menus)
Experimental screen sizing to "off" (needed for MGS not FF9)

And do what Kairi00 said..

 

[voodoo2120]

i tried that but the battle mode is still slow
like moving in space!
sigh....

 

[fivefeet8]

Close all apps and programs running in the background.. Leave only system tray, and explorer.. Then run epsxe..
