Chrono Cross FAQ

**Kane** · April 12th, 2002

I am going to start work on a Chrono Cross FAQ today, and I was wondering if everyone would be willing to give me a hand.
I need someone to provide me with configs for Lewpy's plugin (as at yet I have no Voodoo card

). I have covered most of the important issues (frambuffe modes, disc changing, random crashes, slowdowns, fort dragonia issue, stuff like that). Most of it I got from the board, I'm just wondering if anyone has had some obscure issues which might be worth mentioning, or stuff which isn't covered in 4 pages of Chrono Cross help

The Special Game Fix in Pete's Plugins for nVidia FSAA is mandatory if you have FSAA enabled. Without it you get black boxes on the backgrounds from time to time. Enabling Framebuffer Read and Framebuffer Read on Move will get you better battle transitions and a way of seeing the wibbly bits (Masamune, Dimensional Distortion) without using Full VRAM Primitives. Turning on Keep PSX Aspect Ratio will improve graphics quality because without it the game stretches vertically. It also will speed up the Framebuffer effects since it doesn't have to compensate for stretching the screen as well. The only drawback with using Keep PSX Aspect Ratio is the character switch screen will look like this:

With certain older nVidia cards FSAA is really undoable with the screen swirls... even with details on minimum, with FSAA the swirl will slow down to a crawl, 5 fps and under

Thanks for your input. The faq is nearly done, and I will upload it as soon as I can... the site seems to be down at the moment tho

*UPDATE*
Suhost seemsto be down, and I can't be bothered to wait

I have uploaded the site onto my old server. The link has been updated in my signiture.
The Chrono Cross FAQ is still incomplete, but I have other projects to get on with too.
The site design is also a little basic, but that is just as I wanted it fast an functional, not particularly pretty.
