Best video settings?

Setharial · October 2nd, 2002

Hey hey,

I've only been using ePSXe for a month or so, I already got Chrono Cross working great, and now I'm about to start on Xenogears (the ISO)

I was wondering what video settings would be the best for my system? Here's the specs...

1200 AMD Thunderbird
512 SDRAM PC133
GeForce 3 Ti 200 128 megs DDR

Thanks for the help!

Setharial · October 3rd, 2002

Ok, I just tried to run Xenogears for the first time, the video worked from what I could tell, i think there was a transparency issue at the title screen, all i could see were the menu options and not the logo. Then the sound was off-time with the video (lag)

please help! thanks

please check out lord kane's website for Xenogear's configs
http://www.lordkane.gametribe.net/
and don't forget to save often with memory cards

Setharial · October 3rd, 2002

I tried that, but the site is down

**Kane** · October 3rd, 2002

Nope, working fine.

Setharial · October 3rd, 2002

Honostly, Everytime I try to hit your page, it doesn't load. I can't even see the image for it in your sig. I deleted temp internet files and refreshed.

**liquid** · October 3rd, 2002

here is a pic of my Xenogears settings in MesaGL when I use FSAA. These are the same settings I also use with pete's OpenGL in windows.

Setharial · October 3rd, 2002

your video configuration looks different than mine (nicer actually)
what ver are you using? I have 1.5.2

keep in mind i'm still kinda new to this emulator, are you using a certain plugin?

**Kane** · October 3rd, 2002

He's using a different Operating System: Linux.

remura · October 3rd, 2002

That's because he's using mesaGL, pete's openGL plugin on Linux

Setharial · October 3rd, 2002

Now I'm at work and Lord Kain's site says I'm forbidden to access.

n00b_saibot · October 3rd, 2002

LK: Your site does seem to be down, or at least there appears to be a problem with Gametribe.

<a href="http://lordkane.gametribe.net/">http://lordkane.gametribe.net/</a> was giving me a 403 error until a few seconds ago, where it stopped responding altogether.

Using: Opera 6.04
OS: Windows ME

Thought you might like to know.

Setharial · October 3rd, 2002

Yea i haven't been able to get on and I've been trying since yesterday.

**Kane** · October 3rd, 2002

Yeah, It was working when he asked, but they are doing a few server updates, so it is now out.

Setharial · October 5th, 2002

Kain,

I still can't access your site man. Says I'm forbidden and what not. Do you not like me?

Xenogears seems to be running fine, I got the sound working, but it seems like the sound is off with the video. At the menu, I don't see the xenogears logo, just the menu commands, and when I hit NEW GAME, i see a very quick glimpse of the Squaresoft logo, ( i mean very quick) and then the video starts with the audio a few seconds lagging.

I burned the image and it worked fine in my modded Playstation, so it's not the image as far as I can tell...
