Alright I've been playing this game with no problems the whole time so far, but in Stage 12 I somehow started getting Graphic glitches:

I've tried lowering some graphic settings already in hopes of resolving this, but it's not helping. Does anyone know what might be causing glitches like this to occur? So far it's only happening in Stage 12. All the other levels (even ones with lots of effects like snow and rain), haven't had this problem yet..

Try using another graphic plugin. xD

I've tried Pete's OpenGL 1.77 and even GSDX 883 (Normally for PCSX2, but functions with ePSXe somehow too). Both resulted in the same graphic problems. Any others I can try?

Have you watched the console output yet?
It could be 1 or more bad sectors also.
Not every read error causes the CD plugins to crash or stop working.

EDIT:
IT could also be that you had "Error-correction" ON while dumping the image, which would cause bad gfx too (in the best case).

It's not crashing though..

YouTube - Syphon Filter - Stage 13: Stronghold Lower Level (Part 3/3)

Take a look over here in this video, you'll see it happen frequently. And the bug gets in my face especially much while I was trying to aim for this one bad guy across the screen at about 13 seconds into the video. And that's how it is for the entire Stage 12 and 13. The other stages haven't had this problem yet.

Those are typical clipping-errors.
Sorry, don't know how to fix them. (I don't have Syphon Filter to look for a solution)

Syphon Filter Graphics Fix

Hello,

On Syphon Filter you have to go to your Video Config and hit the special game fixes button. Then go into that option and choose 0x0010, 0x0020, and 0x0040. That did it for me. I am using Pete's DX6 D3D driver 1.77.

Let me know if it worked or not.

I already finished the game, but I'll give it a try though, thanks.

Going to do a Syphon Filter 2 playthrough, and the same glitches occur there, so it's worth a shot. I'll let you know whenever I get to it and post here.

Ok, I applied those gamefixes, and it did fix that glitch. But now I have another problem.

My Armor Bar and Danger Bar don't show up. They're just empty spots. Any idea about that one?

Edit:
NVM FIXED IT.

Here's what I did:

1. I downloaded ATI Catalyst 9.9 from filehippo.com
2. I chose to install to C:\ATI, so the files were extracted there, and then I canceled the installation before it actually put the older drivers in my computer.
3. I expanded the packed .dl_ (atio6axx.dl_ and atioglxx.dl_) files to actual .dll files inside the ATI installation folder.
4. I copied atiogldxx.dll to the main ePSXe folder, so that ePSXe uses this file instead of the 'newer' file that ATI's latest drivers have.
5. Played Syphon Filter, and done, the Armor and Danger bar show up. Currently uploading screenshots of before and after the change.
