It' slow and choppy with the screen on, but when I close the screen it works fine...

Crono696 · November 19th, 2003

Alright. Here's the problem. When I load an Iso or CD-ROM, they are BOTH choppy and slow. The video is very choppy and slow and the sound skips every other beat so you can't make out any music. But when I exit out of the initial epsxe window and only the black window with words on it is left, the sound is fine. Is this a common problem? Is it my video? (I've got Pete's OpenGL driver and use the 'fast settings' in configuration.) Any help would be appreciated.

He's right. That second post would be considered "thread bumping," which is against our rules.

Please, don't be so impatient and give people a chance to respond.

Oops, sorry about that. I haven't had much free time in the past days and I get impatient when I don't have time. Anyway, it's not just one game. It's had the same problems for Crash Bandicoot 1, Spyro 1, and FF VII CD-ROMS and and it did it when I created and ran ISOs for Crash and Spyro using Isobuster. My settings are:
Texture quality: R8 G8 B8 A8
Texture filtering: 0
Hi-Res:0
GFX card: 0

FPS limit: on
Frame skipping: off
Auto-detect: on

Off-screen drawing:3
Framebuffer textures: 2
Framebuffer access: 0
Alpha MultiPass: on
Mask bit: on
Advanced blending: on

Misc:
Special Game fixes:
00002

P.S. I've tried other settings, too. I don't know what else to do.

**hushypushy** · November 21st, 2003

what special game fixes do you have on? i cant tell from what you put...i dont know where that 2 really belongs. anyway for the most part you dont need special game fixes, andthere is a copy settings button in Pete's plugins.

also, what other settings have you tried? try www.lordkane.co.uk

what are your computer's specs?

Crono696 · November 21st, 2003

Uhh, I've tried pretty much every setting I can think of dude... I think. Uhh, how do I figure out my computer's specs?

Crono696 · November 23rd, 2003

My settings...

------------------

Pentium III 800mhz 192mb ram 30gig Hard Drive CD-ROM 48X CD-RW 8X/4X/32 Hercules 3D Prophet 4000XT 64mb PCI Crystal WDM Audio Codec Windows ME Millenium Edition 2 Logitech Wingman Gamepad

**Kane** · November 23rd, 2003

Ah... that would the the PowerVR2 based 4000XT right?
BTW, that sig is quite large. Our limits are 500x100/20Kb

Crono696 · November 23rd, 2003

uhh, I don't really know. I just copied my settings. any suggestions?

Crono696 · November 23rd, 2003

oops forgot about the signature. Darn, double post, too. Ahh, I hate this.

**hushypushy** · November 23rd, 2003

ok for one...there is an edit button. you've double posted insanely here.

secondly, "your" computer's specs look exactly like chrono archange's....maybe a copy and paste?

Crono696 · November 24th, 2003

Sorry about that. Seriously. I'm running on 3 hrs. of sleep. I thought I had copied my settings. Umm, how do I copy my settings? All I know is that I have Pentium 4 with 256 MB Ram with Windows XP with GeForce 2. I'm sure there's more, but I don't know how to find it.

**Kane** · November 25th, 2003

There is a 'Copy info' button in Pete's plugins. Paste that stuff here.

Are you sure it's a geForce 2, and not a PowerVR based card, as it says on the Hercules site? Because that is a completely different kettle of fish. A geForce 2 is easy to set up for. A PowerVR is a complete *****.
