Running Xenogears on ePSXe 1.5.2 with a PIII, 1GHz, WinME and a Voodoo 5 5000 AGP under Lewpy's Glide plugin.
The game starts fine with opening text and the scene of the village being bombed. Then, the screen goes black yet I hear and see explosions or screen flashes. See faces and text boxes. Next, a banner (so to speak) of a graphic appears at the top of the screen. Can't tell what it is. Eventually, the game settles into the tavern and outside the town and the game runs okay. But, after visiting the Doc and returning to town, same black screen stuff. Mech battle sequence seems to be fine, though. FMV looks good, too.
Any tweak tips? Here's my config:
