Final Fantasy Tatics problems

[BrazilianMagus]

I am using Lewpie 3dfx pulg-in and cant make the image work right, at the world map the map dissapears and only appears when I move or press a button but after I stop it dissapears again.The text of the story is illegible as the words arent erassed and the game just put on above the other and finnaly the text of the choice of the bar dont appear.

This things actually arent very important as the menu and the game battle system work, I already finished the game on my PS(which need to put upside down to work so I gave up on him)so I know the story and the bar isnt that important but it really gets annoying looking at the "dark".

So does anyone know a configuration on Lewpy to fix this ?

[Ultragunner]

i really cannot answer your question regarding on glide configurations but if you are using pete's d3d plugin, just enable the framebuffer read on the game fixes option. maybe there is an option too in lewpy's gpu plugin.

or, you can try PEops.

[Badaro]

The equivalent option in Lewpy's Plugin is setting "Framebuffer Access" to "Read/Write". Also, try using a higher setting for "Offscreen Drawing".

try using Petes Soft driver. it works almost perfect with little or no configuration.

and i have a weird bug in the game. for me, Ramza allways looks like a chick. is there a way to make him look like a dude?

Follow Badaro's advice and you'll get the map to show up. Some problems like texts in the menu can't be fixed though. I hope Lewpy is looking into this. These are my settings for the game:

like a chick??? that's weird man!

[Kanodin]

ummm, Ramza doesn't look like a chick on mine....also try using PeOps it seems to work well for all games.

[Lizking]

heres a screen shot. sorry its squished, but petes soft doesnt do good screen shots

[Kanodin]

hey king is that the Peops plugin or just the reg Petes soft? and was brazilian referring to the character line up or the picture of Ramaza in the name box. because come to think of it he does look like a chick in the line up.

[Shiori]

Yeah, he does look like Agrias there.


seriously, it looks the same as mine. Live with it.

[Kanodin]

hehe, i have been living with it FFT is one of the only game i really enjoy playing even though ive beat it over 100 times... wait that goes for any FF game. :P

[BrazilianMagus]

Thanks Bandaro and others!

It worked ,even trough that some menus texts dont work the rest work fine!Thanks again!

And about Ramza looking like a girl

Really he is just like that , but he get more "masculine" after chapter 1

[Kanodin]

i could never tell i always had him as a Ninja -.-

[TIDUSXevax01]

P.E.O.P.S is the one I use for FF tastics and DW7!

[Kanodin]

hey i can be the only PEOPS spokesman of the NGEMU board lol j/k

[Kane]

I use Pete's OpenGL, and I have only the text problem, which is sorted by changing the filtering settings in game.

[EddyB43]

When I used Lewpy's on a Voodoo3, the only problem I had was invisible text on some menus, no other graphical errors. The main settings I used were FF recommended Experimental Flipping is turned off (only for FF7-9 it seems), Framebuffer to Read/Write and Offscreen Drawing to it's highest setting.

Lewpy said there's no way to get the text with the current version of the plugin, so that's the best you'll be able to do without switching down to PEopS.

[Kanodin]

yep peops is the way to go..

[Raziel]

I bever use PEOPS,well,in fact I only use it for 2d ONLY games,like Legend of Mana or Street Fighter Zero 3.I don't really like it cause it doesn't give any filtering,and I think that the main thing that makes me like PSX emulation are the enhanced gfx.

[Kanodin]

only reason I use it is because i'm to lazy to mess around with plugin setting to get all my games working properly.
