Digimon World config help

[TheRealRaziel]

hey, been a while since i used the ePSXe emu (all the cool games like warcraft 3 and never winter nights and the like out nowadays) but i though i'd whip out digimon world out again. now i had downloaded some plug ins (pete's plugins for one and the null sound one) but when i run the game and create a new game the background (sprities?) are all black, it's at the point where jijimon come son and asks you some questions, i see the questions but not jijimon.

running a AMD 1900 XP
124 MB ram
ATi Radeon 8500 64MB
Windows XP pro

Well, could you post your setings inside Pete's GPU plugin, please? Without that it's very hard to guess what's wrong (my guess is: try a higher Offscreen Drawing setting).

PS: You said that you downloaded the Null sound plugin. It's really old and is no longer in development. I suggest Eternal 1.3 for the best sound quality.

forgot what most does so i was just mucking about as for the eternal plug i'll download it

[Raziel]

Dunno,from your settings it looks just fine and should work well,maybe this game uses some kind of unemulated feature.
You could try using Full Vram Primitives.

i added a ScreenShot for convineance (how ever ya spell it)

[Snake785]

Try raising the Framebuffer Access setting to a higher one. That might work. Good Luck.

[TheRealRaziel]

tried some of the above but no good also fiddled with the fast and nice settings but no good :/

this is what i get when i click through

[metal_ash]

there might be a problem with that windows xp.
i have aproblem too, in FF8. the dialogue boxes cant be fix with diffrent settings,its still WHITE,with GLITCHES.

[metal_ash]

try using windows 98SE.

[TheRealRaziel]

oh sure i'll just go and instal win98se then --_--; coem on there must be a way to fix this under winxp ? not like i'm the first with this prob right ?

[TheRealRaziel]

hmm i seem to have fixed it with the d3d version of the gfx plug works VERY nicely now

I've never seen any games troubles caused by an OS,if the emu runs fine on the OS,you'll get the same resulst as on another OS.
Now,about FF8,I have it and it runs just fine with ePSXe on XP Pro.
I'll post my config later .

[TheRealRaziel]

btw how do i fix the frame rate thing ? i want the game to run somewhat faster but not as nauseating fast as it does now :P

[Zephon]

Turn on the FPS limit and select manually the value that you want. For the correct speed, 60FPS for NTSC games and 50FPS for PAL games.

[Raziel]

OK,here's my video config for FF8,but,feel free to change the resolution .
