FF7 Speed Problems: Too Fast

J_323 · August 8th, 2004

I am using ePSXe and have the game playing at about four times as fast as it should. the sound is also too fast.

**hushypushy** · August 8th, 2004

turn frame limiting on and set the limit to "auto"

J_323 · August 9th, 2004

I did that and it fixed out of battle scenes however the battle scenes are just as fast.
Also, I am trouble shooting in the first area and does anyone know how to fix the red or green borders on boundry objects.

**hushypushy** · August 9th, 2004

press delete---how many FPS are you getting? if you are getting 60 that means it's going normal speed.

to turn off the green borders, set texture filtering to 4 or 0.

J_323 · August 9th, 2004

Okay, The frame rate is fixed and the green borders however. By changing the Filter I am getting artifacts on screen. Any ideas for this?

**hushypushy** · August 9th, 2004

turn filtering completely off. PSX games arent meant to have filtering, so sometimes you get glitches. make sure you turn off anisotropic filtering in your gfx card options.

J_323 · August 9th, 2004

Did both, worse if any thing. Any other ideas?

Although this: '- Hi-Res textures: 2' si probably your problem

**hushypushy** · August 9th, 2004

actually no, kane. that's what i was thinking at first. but hi-res textures 2 is "Stretched - Filtering needed). since he has filtering at 0 i dont think it does anything. but, maybe you're right, it's doing something weird since he doesnt have filtering on.

J_323 · August 9th, 2004

alas, disabled hi-res textures but to no avail. Still have pixels which are the wrong shade.

Could you post a screening showing what you mean?
