Using ePSXe 1.6.0 with Eternal's 1.41 and Pete's OpenGL 1.74 plugins, I can get Thousand Arms working almost perfectly. But there are a couple problems remaining.

I'd appreciate any help.
- Freezing - When certain spells like mass sleep are cast, the game freezes. Video does, at least. You can hear the sound in the background, but nothing moves. I assume all timers and stuff stop, too, since the enemy doesn't attack while I'm stuck. I've been able to get around this by using ePSXe 1.5.0 but it's quite tiring doing the conversions back and forth.
- Sound - This is probably a more generic problem, but sometimes there's a really nasty static-like sound after continuing the game from the ePSXe screen. (IOW, continuing after hitting escape) Is it just my config?
- Slowdown - Fog and transpacencies seem to be a major slowdown factors. Given that I have a TNT2 m64, is it possible it's just a hardware limitation? I've tried using the fast setting and turning off almost every option, but to no avail. The slowdown is just reduced, not defeated.
- Ghost Screen - I alt-tab a lot, especially when I get messages on IRC. Sometimes, though, the ePSXe screen, if I don't hit escape, leaves an active ghost, so to speak. I can see everything going on over whatever window's supposed to be active. Again, a config problem? I'm more inclined to think that this is a computer problem, not ePSXe, but what do I know?
