You can mess with the thread settings in Eternal. Also, make sure any special game fixes are enabled, if necessary.

[I-Chan]

Won't you be using spuasync-wait in eternal, would you? If so, disable frame limitation on your gpu plugin.

[Sephiroth_98]

if i do that the voices will be slower right but how can i fix those black screens that you need gfx card buffer on if i put that on it makes the battles take so long to load how do i fix this because i need it on and i need those voices to slow down

[I-Chan]

first> Use some punctuation.
second> Explain it again. But now in a way that a normal person can understand it. If you say "i do this and then happens that, and then the other thingie makes that..." i have not an idea what "this", "that, "those" and etc mean. I don't have to go look for all the posts you made in order to know wtf happens to your machine or how the hell it's configured. There are more than 15.000 users on ngemu, do you think i can remember the data en every post of the top of my head?? So please, PLEASE, explain.

[Sephiroth_98]

Ok. I understand what your saying I-Chan, its just that i was in a hurry to finish typing and its way easier using short forms of words. But anyways i fixed the problem i had before with the fmvs and the battles, but now i have another problem. Is there a way to get rid of those black lines when i have extended smooth sprites without having to take that option off. Here are my configs:

No. Any 2d filtering causes glitches, so set filtering to 4.

[Sephiroth_98]

alright thanks for your help lord kane

[Sephiroth_98]

i have one last question. i need to know if you can speed up battles without havin to take off fps limit or checking on the pc fps calculation game fix

[Kane]

Well you can't, unless you mean that hte battles are running under full speed.

[Sephiroth_98]

well ya there running a little bit under full speed

[I-Chan]

Sephiroth_98, i must apologise. The tone of my post wasn't correct, sorry for that man. Bad day :/ . There is a little trick yo can do to speed up the game: instead of using auto frame limit, set it to 55 if you are using a pal game, or 65 for ntsc ones.

[Sephiroth_98]

It's ok I-Chan just forget about yesterday.But right now you just said to set the fps to 65 for ntsc and 55 for pal, if i do this will the voices in the fmvs also go fast because i'm not using the eternal spu plugin. I also have another question: how high can i set the fps limit before the voices in the fmvs go fast?

[I-Chan]

no idea pal, sorry.

[Sephiroth_98]

i have another question. You know how everyone has to put gfx card buffer to show those extra splash screens, wouldn't the game fix called special upload detection do the same thing gfx card buffer does, or would that game fix screw up or somethin? Thanks for all your help

Special upload detection is for something else.

[Sephiroth_98]

What is it for, because in my game i think it does the same thing gfx card buffer does.so far it does though, but i'm not really sure because i'm at the beginning and i just escaped from hellena prison so i haven't really had to use to the gfx card buffer so i dunt know really

IIRC it's for the opening of FFVIII, which uses a wierd framebuffer upload mode which is really slow in the way that we normaly do it.

[Sephiroth_98]

oh sry for asking i should have known since i play ff8 too. and i just found out the splash game fix didn't work like gfx card buffer so again i'm sry. But now i really need help whenever i put gfx card buffer on the fps screws up. When i get into a battle the fps drops down to around 30 and i cant fix it so i really need help now so i can continue playing this game, i need to have gfx card buffer on but it screws up the battles is there a way i can speed them up without taking gfx card buffer off. Please someone help me i'll list my config My config is:
