Persona 2 graphics problems

[silvernights]

Hey guys I just got my copy of persona 2 today
best 25 bucks ever...I'm a big altus fan
but it won't run correctly
the beginning fmv runs fine however when i actually get into the game however it appears that ever other line in the graphics is missing and the backround is all messed up like it was a graphical glitch
the text and sound work fine however
I'm running pete's d3d plugin 1.65
i'm running a radeon all in wonder

if anybody has had this problem and knows how to fix it any help would be apreciated thanks

Can you post a screenshot? Also, what's the configuration you're using for Pete's Plugin? Use the built-in "Copy Settings to Clipboard", and paste the information here.

Why don't u use VGS? I finished 2 times with it. The prob with this game in EPSXE is that u need Offscreen Drawing, making the game slower.

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Offscreen Drawing shouldn't be much of a performance hit.

Here's a bare-minimum config that should work with pretty much any card:

Thanks for your help.

But after set the option you give me, it is still the same.

There's only one thing different between you and me :

our GFX card is different. (mine is NVIDIA RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro)

Strangely, older pete gpus (before 1.65) work fine to me.

here's the situation for each ver. of pete gpu on Persona2EP :

1.66~1.65 : graphics messed up.

1.64~1.60 : graphics look fine, but the game freeze when you
enter some place.
( People have motioned that maybe is because of
the fix for Soul Hacker )

1.59 : work fine, no major problem.


Should I send a e-mail to Pete for this problem?

I think there's a special game fix for Persona 2 on Pete's Plugin

IIRC, there was only in some older version (~1.62).

silvernights : try different gpu plugins .. peops or )I( 0.985.

Also try to update your video card driver but I doubt there's the problem.

I only have a save state of that game, but in this save the game needed enabled "gfx card" framebuffer textures/framebuffer access settings, as far as I remember.
