Jsweet2k2 · January 13th, 2003

Use ePSXe, and use the plugins i showed, if you want. And use BIOS - scph1001.bin

It should work perfect.

Your kazuya vid requires some kind of direct draw. I don't have what it's asking for

**Kane** · January 13th, 2003

Install the latest drivers for your video and sod card, and install the latest version of DirectX.

Jsweet2k2 suggested those settings for you, and yeeah, for him they are all good, but you are better off using OpenGL or D3D plugins.

New Problem. I have the game working now, but it's fast during Opening FMV with Aeris and Train, but gets VERY slow when you actually start to play. Opening credits are slow too.

Also, where do i get the suggested upgrades found in the previous post?

Aha, Frames per second drops during the intro and during gameplay, but speeds up to about 59-60 anyother time. Anyway to make it consistent?
I'm on epsxe now just in case you need to know.

You can get them here in ngemu.com. Just look in the left side of the page in download database.

As for the frames, just select 60 fps if you are using custom or just try autodetect (if you are using petes plugins)

Jsweet2k2 · January 13th, 2003

Well i have an on board Graphics card, and this computer naturally has low memory 64 MB RAM, So what im hintin at is, If Kazzuya can work perfect for my crappy machine for Final Fantasy 7, Then it should work good on just about any machine(For FF7). Plus not to mention kazzuya has an easier to understand configuration.

I was also gettin that "Direct Draw" Error for the Video Plugin,

" E}I{'s Soft Driver 0.97 "

Whenever i chose the option " OverLay Surface " It would give me a Direct Draw Error on loading the CD.

Whatever direct draw means, This computer must not support it. Kazzuya has never gave me a Direct Draw Error.

90% of the time a direct draw error means that either your version of directX isn't up to date, directx is corrupted, or your graphics card drivers are messed up.
