FF7 on EPSXE too fast because of sound plugin?

[Chobtime]

Hi there, I've been trying hard to get FF7 to run on my PC and although the graphics are amazing the sound is quite buggy

When I use the Internal sound plug in the sound gets distorted in battle along with other sound effects.

When I use the Eternal Plugin I notice the sound is actually fine BUT the Game runs too fast when ever I use the Eternal Plugin, I am not sure whether my video settings are having a conflict with the sound making the game run too fast but I only get it on this Plugin.

Can anyone give me help on what I should do?

Have you tried configuring the graphics plugin to "use FPS limit"?

[Chobtime]

Yeah I tried that off and on. with it off it's just ridiculously fast.

[Mupen64 Man]

Ah, that sucks. have you tried ePSXe 1.6.0 instead? Sometimes it has quirks like that. If none of those work, I know that it works on pSX. 666th post, haha.

Wow um.. the Sound is now perfect in ePSXe 1.6.0, only Issue I have now is that sometimes it runs slow on certain areas, mainly with battles at some points, can you figure why that might be?

[Mupen64 Man]

Um there is a game fix for that, I think its "fake a pause between loading areas, It happens in Chrono Cross. First in the graphics settings check off "Special game-fixes" and then click the "..." to the right of it. A window should pop up and then you should check off "Adjust Framebuffer Access" It should work then.

Ok this is weird, I did the game fix you told me, that didn't work, but then I went back to trying it on the newest 1.0.7 emulator and now it is literally working fine, I am guessing it is because I needed that game fix in the first place... glad to know we got it working, Thanks Mupen 64 Man! (:
