Xenogears, stuck (gpu prob?)

[NymphLode]

Up until now, i've been playing xenogears and having no probs with it other then a few minor aesthetic problems... and then it cuts to this scene and for about 5 mins it moved frame by frame VERY slowly, and at the point of this screenshot it has completely stopped.. ive left it for over 20 minutes and come back to see no further movement. ive messed around with the gpu turned of sound and tried everything i could thing of but im basically a epsxe newb.

here are my gpu settings currently after tampering:

Anyone know what the problem might be?

Send me a savestate, and let me try. I can't recall this problem but it might be new.

My mail is: noorde1@pd.jaring.my

The gods that be decided to make my netmail, gmx.net, switch to full on german... so i can only be pretty sure that it was sent hehe. Wasnt sure if you needed both of those files or not so i just went ahead and sent the smaller one along too.. allrighty then, have fun and thank you!

Could you please mail me the files in epsxe memcard format? I got two files from you but they do not appear to be memory cards. Non of the memcard converters seem to identify them. They were called:

SLUS 006.64.003

I don't know whether you sent the files like this however. Maybe the new mail messed them up. Try sending them again. Any memcard file will work. I have converters. I just have no clue what this is.

you asked for a save state hehe thats what it is, did you try putting it in the sstate folder? none of the memcard files have saves on them...

Oh yeha.... I asked for a savestate didn't I? Oh well. Yeah now I'll give it a shot. haha.

hmm, what spu are you using? if you are using eternal SPU try enabling the "update before accessing register option". if this doesn't work you can try pressing F6 or a different GPU.

Do you have a bit older savestate? Then I can see how the problem occured. If not than I don't think I can help. These are the config settins I beat the game with though, and I did not have this problem. Maybe it helps. It is very similar to your new one though.
