This is the config I use, and I find it works well. Watch out though: people round here can debate on which SPU to use until we all get thoroughly bored

Very handy! To save us the trouble of searching for this later, perhaps you could add a few of these suggested configs to the readme file of your next release? The sheer volume of requests for FF9 config requests on this board are amazing. Feel free to throw in Chrono Cross too.

I was just having a bit of a read through a few post and i noticed that in lewpy's post the reported plugin version v1.34
and the currently available plugin ver being 1.33
Are we going to see anohter release already?, so soon after the last. Although I dont have any trouble with your current plugin (it rocks)
or with most of the past ones for that matter, but a new version is always welcome.
Anyway, just curious.

Well, as soon as I release a version of my plugin, I am automatically working on the next version. I have to do this, otherwise version control goes out the window
So any posts you see from me will probably include information from an unreleased version of the plugin, which is very much work-in-progress.It doesn't mean a new version is just around the corner, as I may be working on this release for months ... or days ... it just depends. It's done when it's done
>why is that you have draw method at bright instead of multipass, >the visual quality seems to be much better than bright.
Though it may just be my setup, when using the config that Lewpy provided multipass makes the game run rather slow (I'm using a Voodoo 3 3500TV).

>Best sound plugin is the null2's
While we're on the subject, has anyone had any problems with the sound after restarting a game from ePSXe? Null2's sound plug-in works perfectly fine..until I save the game and later reload. Event sounds and such (selecting menus, moving the cursor, footsteps, etc) work fine, but there's no music and generally when an MDEC plays there's no sound then either. Oddly enough, after I enter a battle the music will restart and sound works correctly afterward. Has anyone else had this problem?
My config is as follows:
Null2 ver. 1.3.1.1
Attributes: 22050Hz, 16bit
Buffer length: 50
block: 5
Checked: reverb, force VAG 48khz, enable VAG stream, and linear interpolation. I've tried it with "Force VAG 48khz" both checked and unchecked, but there was no change.

I take it by "save" you are referring to savestates? Null doesn't support savestates in an incarnation that works with Chrono Cross, so sounds are blippy and odd when you load a state until you enter an area with new music, at which time everything is fine again.
If you're talking about saving to a memory card, I haven't heard anything about it.
I got tired of switching to the internal spu for MDEC's, so I just switched to it for everything. Null's sound is definitely better though -- the 1.2 version I mean.

I've tried saving from within the game itself, but when I restart it informs me that it can't find any FF9 save data on the card. I've tried hitting F4 twice as some have suggested, but it hasn't changed anything. I suppose I should note that I'm running off of an ISO.

>I have the same problem like cluthu too.
Are you also using Null2's plugin? My problem stemmed from confusing save states and the in-game saving option. If you attempt to save in-game after loading a save state, the save will fail (though I'm not certain why). Basically, for best results, I'd suggest starting from the beginning by removing any FF9 savestates, removing your memcards (so long as they don't contain saves for another game) and allowing ePSXe to recreate them. Afterwards, just save from within the game itself. Though there may be far less drastic ways to accomplish this result, it worked well for me.
