I hope someone knows how to make them visible.

Invisible monsters ? Can you attach a screenshot ? I think in the later part of school ,some monsters are supposed to be invisible at times. So may be its not a problem at all.

/me tries to remember silent hill monsters.

Hhhmmm.Very strange.
I started the emulator to make a screenshot,and....
the monsters are visible.But i didn´t change a thing.

But when i load a previous save it looks like this(see attachment)!
After i have gone into the house with the key in the doghouse,everything seems allright.

P.S.:With invisible Monsters,I meant the dogs.

Are you using save states? If so then try to not use them, only use the game's builtin save function. That could be the problem.

Also, is there some reason you're using version 1.72 of the OGL plugin? 1.75 has been out for a while.

Meisterkiffer · June 6th, 2004

Until the doghouse i used save states and normal save.But now i´m using normal save.
That must be the reason,because now its working.

I´m using version 1.72 of the plugin,because i don´t know a site where i can get up-to-date ones.If you know a site,plz let me know.

This site's plugin section has all of the newest stuff: http://www.ngemu.com/psx/plugins.php...win32&type=gpu

Also, Pete's website: http://www.pbernert.com/

The problem was most likely the save states, and so long as it's working now it doesn't really matter which version you're using. If the problem persists then you should try upgrading to 1.75.

Yep, thats right. Savestates cause problems with silent hill. Infact, long time ago when I joined ngemu the first problem I posted was from silent hill and it was due to the use of savestates.(I incidently disabled alpha multipass and then reenabled it).
