Alright, so my friend has a fairly crappy computer, but I'm trying to get her set up to play Suikoden 1 on her pc.

No matter which setting she uses, once the game starts, the sprite moves insanely slow. The video is choppy, but that's not so big an issue.

The sound worked with one previous setting, but the video still wouldn't function properly.

Any suggestions? Will there be any way to get this to work on her computer?

Turning off frameskip would help with the choppiness. Try turning off alpha multipass to see if it speeds it up. Also, if you want to use a hardware accelerated plugin, use Pete's DX6 D3D plugin. If you still can't get it to work, then try using P.E.Op.S. instead. Have you tried updating the video card's drivers?

i'd suggest using peops software plugin. what is the CPU speed on that bad boy?

By all means use PEOPs, that's a 2D game so it will look better anyway. D3D is better for polygonal games, but this is sprite based.

I'll give that a try when I talk to her later tonight, hopefully that fixes it

My computer is quite a bit better than hers, and those settings in peops makes mine run super fast, so I have some hope

And I'm not sure offhand on what her cpu is. I want to say at least over 1ghz, but maybe I'm just being hopeful

Anyway, yeah. I'll have her try it - and then either come back worshipping you guys, or begging for more help

To avoid the extra speed, enable fps limit and autodetect .

Score, it worked. You guys rock I can't believe it..a forum where people are actually helpful.

Anyway, yeah. Thanks
