Most people use the 1.x plugins because they get the WGL and Shader errors when using the 2.x plugins.

Well for most people with atleast OGL 1.4 support (Geforce 2,MX/4 MX, Intel Extreme))(These cards are 1.5 compatible, but do not support ARB Shaders)

You can use the 2.x plugin by using the following config.

Geforce 2 and Intel video chips

Plugin: Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.9

Resolution/Color:
- 640x480 Window mode
- Internal X resolution: 0
- Internal Y resolution: 0
- Keep psx aspect ratio: off
- No render-to-texture: 1 (0 causes MDEC slowdown)

- Filtering: 4 (5 and 6 cause slowdown)
- Hi-Res textures: 2
- TexWin pixel shader: off
- VRam size: (Variable amount)

Framerate:
- FPS limitation: on
- Frame skipping: off
- FPS limit: Auto

Compatibility:
- Offscreen drawing: 1
- Framebuffer effects: 2
- Framebuffer uploads: 2

Misc:
- Scanlines: off
- Mdec filter: on

Geforce 4MX

Plugin: Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.9
Author: Pete Bernert
Card vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
GFX card: Geforce 4 MX (420,440,460)

Resolution/Color:
- 640x480 Window mode
- Internal X resolution: 1
- Internal Y resolution: 1
- Keep psx aspect ratio: off
- No render-to-texture: 1 (0 causes MDEC slowdown)

- Filtering: 4 (5 and 6 cause slowdown)
- Hi-Res textures: 2
- TexWin pixel shader: off
- VRam size: (Variable amount)

Framerate:
- FPS limitation: on
- Frame skipping: off
- FPS limit: Auto

Compatibility:
- Offscreen drawing: 1
- Framebuffer effects: 2
- Framebuffer uploads: 2

Misc:
- Scanlines: off
- Mdec filter: on
- Screen filtering: on
- Shader effects: off
- Flicker-fix border size: 2
- GF4/XP crash fix: off
- Game fixes: off [00000002]For Geforce 2MX, battles may get slow when the battle menu is displaying,.. so i generally recommend Geforce 4MX for the non shader supporting cards with this plugin.

These are the settings i used to use on my 4mx 440 except i had the internal res set to high (the benefit of being equipped with GDDR memory instead of GSDRAM)

Note, i do NOT list the Via Unichrome integrated chips, this is because the Via Unichrome does not support anything past OpenGL 1.2.
