OpenGL plugins, help

dasein · November 16th, 2003

I used Pete's OpenGL 1.72 before with ePSXe 1.52, and it worked well. But today it is out of work. When I tried to load the game, the sceen become black for about 10 minutes and then ESC. I tried Pete's D3D plugins and it did work. I also tried Pete's OpenGL2, and it escaped with the error message 'No WGL Extensions'. It looks like there is something wrong with the support to OpenGL.

Here is the configuration of my PC:
Asus A7N8X-X
AMD XP 2800+
512M Ram
GForce FX 5600
DirectX 9

I can't find out where is the problem.

Disable these options:

- Use pixel shader for 'PSX texture window' emulation
- Shader effects

Still don't work,

Have you got the latest drivers installed?

dasein · November 17th, 2003

sure. the version is 5.2.1.6, latest one. But no matter what version the driver is, it doesn't work

**hushypushy** · November 17th, 2003

you also might want to upgrade to version 1.75 (the newest).

if you want to use OGL2 make sure to put the "shaders" folder in your Plugins folder

**Kane** · November 17th, 2003

I think you have something installed on your machine that is fecking things up... I've never heard of WGL extension errors before...

**hushypushy** · November 17th, 2003

well...im assuming it's the drivers. Windows doesnt supply drivers that have OGL support (or at least very good support), IIRC.

SO...it SHOULD have worked with the new nvidia drivers...but i dont know why

dasein · November 17th, 2003

Yes. it did work well before. But I'm not sure what has happened. Maybe because of the drivers for the Pinnacle TV card? I don't know. The last method is to re-install the operating system.

**hushypushy** · November 17th, 2003

well it has to be drivers somewhere, WGL extensions are used by the OpenGL rendering...

well hey, if you want to clean reformat and reinstall...that aint a bad idea. during the summertime this year i reformatted every 2 weeks...makes a big difference in performance, at least for me anyway

dasein · November 17th, 2003

every two weeks...... you do have a lot of time. Anyway, I'll try to uninstall some software, if it still doesn't work, I'll format.

**hushypushy** · November 18th, 2003

well, good luck and remember to back everything up.

finally solved this problem. I just changed the file system of the drive to NTFS and epsxe begin to work. it's really odd.
