FF9 Help!

Element · February 25th, 2003

I'm running FF9 as an Iso, and I have it set the same settings as it says on Kanes website, but the battles are very slow and the text has a weird yellow box by it, the cursor during the battle is also very slow and fades as it moves...whats wrong....heres a screen

A lot of people say this withought having actualy read my site. I reckon you don't. Lower the off-screen drawing to 2 or 3 (as it says on my site, 'Setting Off-Screen Drawing above 3, or below 2 can cause visual artefacts'), failing that, enable the appropriate special game fix.

In Pete's GPU plugin, there is a fix that is called the G4 polygon cache,(I think) I also had that problem before but enabling the fix eliminated that strange yellow bar in the battle.

I changed it to 3 and tried it and then to 2 and tried it and it had no affect whatsoever...?

**Kane** · February 26th, 2003

Did you try the special game fix, as I already stated?

Element · February 26th, 2003

Which special game fix would that be?

and the 'G4 Polygon Cache' may be needed for Final Fantasy IX.

Also

Make sure you enable special game fixes as well.

Does it have anything to do with using either SCPH1001.BIN or scph7502.bin??

**Yeloazndevil** · February 26th, 2003

no, but I would use SCPH7502 since it is more compatible

Element · February 26th, 2003

OMG IT WORKED!! Thanx yeloazndevil, It works perfectly!!!

**Yeloazndevil** · February 26th, 2003
