just today i made an ISO of FF4 because i heard it can be faster than playing from the CD-rom. so that was that, and im not really sure if its any faster or not, but anyway...im running epsxe 1.5.2 cuz 1.6.0 seems to have its fair share of problems (or so ive heard/seen), and im doing this on a comp with a 8mb radeon mobile gfx card (ew, i know), 128mb ram on the pc, and windows me (could u think of a crappier combination of specs??). anyhow, my problem with FF4 was that sometimes the battles (and regular strolling-around too i guess) would become agonizingly sloooow, like 20-30 FPS. so some battle that should take 20 seconds takes like 2 minutes. the sound's pitch goes up and down and up and down (like a bad record...) and of course the graphics lags too. could anyone help me with this dilemma please?
im using the core epsxe thing for sound (cannot be configured) and im using these settings with P.E.Op.S video plugin (any of the other video or sound plugins either ends in uuuber lagginess/choppiness or a fatal pc crash ):
Plugin: P.E.Op.S. Soft Driver 1.1.16
Author: Pete Bernert and the P.E.Op.S. team
Resolution/Color:
- 640x480 Fullscreen - [16 Bit]
Stretch mode: 0
Dither mode: 0
Framerate:
- FPS limit: on
- Frame skipping: on
- FPS limit: 65
Misc:
- Scanlines: disabled
- Game fixes: off [00000020]
^some things that didnt show up there: im using my PC ram instead of card ram cuz thats probably faster.
and one more kind of annoying problem...i'll post an image of it cuz thats a lot faster...but what could be causing this (<-the black areas where water/other textures should be)?
Thanks
