FF7 trouble during Battles

dirkwalker · April 10th, 2008

I need help, the command/health/time bar during battles isn't appearing. Is this something that happens often? (I'm new to emulation.)

post the video plugin and its settings you are using.

compatibility should be set up something like this:

- Offscreen drawing: 3 (or 2 like XxEliteXx suggested)
- Framebuffer texture: 2
- Framebuffer access: 4
- Alpha multipass: on
- Mask bit: on

Ok, the battle screen is working, but now it becomes incredibly slow before entering battle, I had to ctrlaltdel to make it go into battle.

**jonc2006** · April 10th, 2008

try using the d3d plugin instead, keep those settings for compatibility though. also make sure the game fix for ff7 is enabled. if none of that works consider using a different emulator like psx for FF7.
