Savage....
/me shudders...
You tried Offscreen drawing at 2 or 3?

Proto · July 5th, 2003

Heh... well it was in built in the toshina satellite i bought...

Yeah i had tried those... dint help

F-3582 · July 5th, 2003

Try enabling Advanced Blending.

Proto · July 5th, 2003

well i iguess you mean disabiling cause its enabled....

geez... still no use... mm....its odd

F-3582 · July 5th, 2003

Sorry, I meant Alpha Multipass

Proto · July 5th, 2003

aaa... alpha multipass... mmm.... geez... still no use...

does it affect that its the spain pal version?

F-3582 · July 5th, 2003

No, I guess that it doesn't like that fog effect very much. These black lines are in fact the edges of the landscape polygons. You'll either have to live with it or get a new gfx card.

BTW: Did you test other plugins?

Proto · July 5th, 2003

yep... peops crashes the game at the start :/

F-3582 · July 5th, 2003

Really? Does it crash ePSXe? If yes, start it in Windowed mode and switch to fullscreen afterwards (Alt+Return).

No, I meant Pete's OGL or D3D6 plugin. These might give you better results.

Proto · July 5th, 2003

petes ogl doesnt work with my currenct card as it isnt a ogl one...
ill see what happens with d3d6

strangelly enough, i was in windowed mode when peops crashed

**n_w95482** · July 5th, 2003

Have you also tried updating your drivers?

Proto · July 5th, 2003

yep... did so last month

edit: geez... d6d dint work :/

**I-Chan** · July 6th, 2003

I don't know if savage cards has those eyecandy effects, but have you any aa or af enabled? if so, get rid of it. Try playing with the filtering.

Proto · July 6th, 2003

what does aa and af stand for?

**Razor Blade** · July 6th, 2003

AA=Anti Aliasing - Gets rid of jaggy lines
AF= Anistropic Filtering - Makes textures clearer and more sharp.

And what about Fullscreen?

Proto · July 6th, 2003

well i was able to run peops in full screen... and as expected it ran without the borders. But, the graphics where very pixelated in 640x480 mode and if i enabled some filtering it would slow quite a lot
Is there a way to put it with semi decent graphics at a semi decent speed that isnt setting it at 320x240?

EDIT: Maybe something for telling Pete. Every time I start playing with peops plugin if opera web browser its open it crashes

F-3582 · July 6th, 2003

The PSX in fact renders 3D scenes in 320*200...

I don't believe that it is possible to write a HW-SW-Mix plugin.

Proto · July 6th, 2003

Surpasing sound speed was imposible according to a mathematician of the early XX too

Impossible and never are waaaaaaaaay too big words for mortals like us

BTW, i was able to solve my lil ff9 problem... i just had to enable mask bit
