I am quite acquainted with Playstation emulation now, having tried all of the major PS1 emu's, but have come accross the same problem in each emulator, which leads me to strongly believe this problem lies within the plugin and/or game. The MDEC's in Final Fantasy 9 (NTSC) stutter every 4 - 5 seconds, but i have tried everything to do with frame limits on Pete's Open GL Driver v1.76 (which i found ran this game the best), so a solution which can be used with this GPU would be greatly appreciated.
