try ripping to an ISO. It's usually smoother. If you're running on a older pc with, I would recommend Peops soft driver instead.

what program would you recommend for ripping? im using alcohol 120%

best if we stay on native formats, btw, I'd highly Recommend Blindread and Isobuster

if you're still having problems with the opening seq, try peops soft driver [as mhl mentioned]

tick the speedup mdecs on the petes opengl settings [on/off] test which works

Im playing ff8 on emurayden but i have good and bad newz the good is that the game fast and all that, the bad is that it has some errors, when you able the ``boost`` option you CANT see the percentage number, gliches on the battle menu, the rest is all good.


edit: I KNOW IT SUCK BUT I WASNT BE ABLE TO PLAY ON EPSXE, but i was dying to play that game so its no big deal, if you are desperated like i was thats your option.

Try to mess with the configuration (yep, I mean P.E.Op.S GPU's config.) until you get a better one.

i found out the problem......
the frame skipping made the game 'turn it off' so to speak to speed the game up. thx to all the guys that helped me out
