March 16th, 2002

I know this has been done before, But after countless hours of trying to get these games to work With the Geforce 4, I eventually bought a Voodoo2 card, (and runs well on a Voodoo2) But... Once your used to FSAA 4x and Geforce 4 MX image quality it's really hard to play on a Voodoo2)

There is no way to get these games to work on a Geforce 4 MX or Geforce 4 Ti, You have to use newer drivers and the older ones don't support these cards.

So basically.... I went out and bought ff8 for the psx ( I alrdy had ff7 and was very impressed with its emulation with epsxe) And now I'm doing it for ff8. It's sad that I have had to buy this game twice now just so I can play it on something that stronger than my old System.

Using Petes OpenGL or Petes DX6 Plugins, This game looks incredible.

This just hands down proves that emulation is going to be the best way to play these games in the future, (unless squaresoft or eidos releases more patches, which I find highly unlikely). Or you can just buy a PSX and be satisified with the hideous pixels...

*sigh* To put this bluntly. I hate you eidos and squaresoft for creating such lousy ports!

And I thank you epsxe, Pete, Nick, And lewpy for creating such a fine emulator and plugins.
