probably help a lot if you post what video you were using (gonna guess though petes openGL?) and maybe the preferences you have that set to.

btw a really good game!

It's best to use petesoft 1.17. It provides the original PSX graphics but,
does not have missing screens or graphics for the most part and it definitely has
less glitches then the other video plugins.

Default: PeteOpenGL 1.75.

Settings: Fullscreen at 800x600 with 32Bit colour depth
"Texture Quality" = R8 G8 B8 A8
"Texture Filtering" = 6
"Hi-Res Textures" = 0 / 2 (Sprites smooth, but unsharp / sharp, but rough)
"Gfx Card VRam" = 0
"Use Fps Limit"
"Auto Dectect Fps / Frame skipping Limit"
"Fps Limit" = 60 (leave this option unchecked, though)
"Off-Screen Drawing" = 3
"Framebuffer Texture" = 2
"Framebuffer Access" = 4
"Alpha Multipass"
"Advanced Blending"

Comments: The OpenGL version just runs smoother with my graphic card (see "Used Hardware" section) than the Direct3D version. If you encounter (speed) problems
with OpenGL use the D3D version instead. Note that I didnīt activate "Frame
skipping", although it can help to smooth minor framerate slowdowns, like most
battleswirl effects. On the other hand, it can cause glitches or make a battleswirl
not be displayed at all. To have the most compatible & closest-to-true-playstation graphics, use the software gpu (PeteSoft)!


thought id search google for it for ya :) and i found that these were the best settings everyone was saying worked for petes plugin you can try that..

If you have a decent computer you shouldn't have a problem, hope this helps if not then mabey Solis idea will work, keep us updated!

go there then scroll down till you see Download Graphics Plugins then you should see Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.76
