well.... Lewpys plugin ain't the best since it can't show the map in the begining, eveything execpt the cities and the character is black and the menus on the map are not showing either ...

How about Pete's plugin?

I think the software GPU plugins do the best job with this game, or so I've heard. One bad thing is that I have yet to hear of anybody who can get the sound running well, which is a shame because the music is very good.

The sound's screwed in pretty much every plugin I tried with FF Tactics, so I just stuck with the ePSXe internal plugin (I'm lazy and don't like to configure things).

Last time I tried (the D3D one), it was a little better than Lewpy's. The map also didn't show, but the menus were okay.

FF: Tactics is labeled as "Tested" on the VGS compatablity list. While I haven't firsthand experience with it (it's not in stores near me, along with Xenogears and Chrono Cross), I've heard some good things about it. Of course, VGS isn't free, so it's up to thee.

Pete's plugins are much better in Final Fantasy Tactics (images actually show up right - gasp).

All well-known emus emulate FFT quite well (even bleem yes :) )
But man can t play that game w/o those nice musics; I ve tried
epsxe w/ null s plugins (all versions) ; pete midas and the ePSXe
spu core.
and it didn t perform very well :(

Bleem: It s awful, don t try it....

and VGS is perfect w/ it (although a few sounds are missing in the game).and yup VGS isn t free so...Make up ur mind!

Well I managed to play FFT without any sound problems.
But most people seems to have trouble with it,so I must be very lucky(or a genius in plugin configuration:D )
BTW,I'm using the internal SPU.
Bye.

Quicknote: FFT is looking a LOT better with the 1.33 version. Just make sure you set Offscreen drawing to Extra+FBR.

Sorry CD but I finished the game on my PSX and so far on ePSXe I didn't notice any sound problems so far (I'm at the execution site battle).
Bye.

cuz' most people have experienced sound problems (including me)!

Because there are some SPU functions that FFT uses that ePSXe doesn't emulate yet.

CD is right both vgs and epsxe don't play the sound entirely right.
btw i use vgs since 3d plugins don't display FFT's graphics correctly and about bleem... i dunno haven't seen a game run flawlessly in it.

I just tried out FF Tactics and I had no problems with the sound, even using internal epsxe core

That was impossible. Well I use Internal and it's seems fine to me:)

You have to remember this thread is nine months old. Sound has improved since then.

FFT Master here! I use Lewpy's and I know that the map is screwed up but battles are great! The speed from Lewpy's is a plus. Pete's DX7 seems to slow down when attacked by some monsters. And I also use Eternal SPU since it gives the best sound and music, I would know as I spent 2 years playing it on a real PS so I know what it sounds like.

Yeah, I'd definately reccromend the Eternal sound plug-in, on my machine, it plays the music perfectly, and the sound very close to perfect. Also, I'm using pete's ogl 1.56 and the battle areas look great but the sprites look a little rough at high resolutions, and the map is all black when I'm not moving, should I use something else or are these problems common on all gpu plug-ins?

Hey, has any one of you got problems when trying to play Final Fantasy Tactics? With me it crashes just as it tries to show the opening movie!

I'm using:

scph1001
Pete's D3D Driver 1.56 (GPU)
Eternal SPU plugin 1.10
ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.4.0

I'm using Windows XP Professional

Always buy an original CD.... But you can try use the kazuya's CD plugin!! Maybe it solves the problem.

Yep... (the teleporter sound is the worst)

The only bug I've seen with Lewpy's GPU so far is that some menus (like the Tutorial sub menus and the battle Inherit ability from crystal menu) have no text on them - bad texture windows I suppose. I had problems with flickering menus, but setting experimental flipping back to off fixed them. Strange, since it's listed as recommended for FF games ;)

Experimental Flipping is required for FF7, FF8 and FF9. Without it, the battles menu doesn't appear. I don't think that FFT needs it.
