PoPoRogue problem
Basically this game only runs on 1.6.0
Everything was fine...for a while First problem is that when the screen focuses on a character (The kind that a circle appears from the edge of the screen and then shrinks until the whole screen is covered in black) ...the FPS drops dramatically to a point that it takes about 5 seconds to change to the next frame The second problem I'm facing is that when I enter a certain level of a cave the FPS drops and black horizontal stripes appear this situation still stays after I transfer back to the previos level(wich was succesfully emulated before) If anyone needs screen shots or anything else for this please reply and I will post them BTW...this game isn't very popular in the states...huh?

I'm using Pete's latest OpenGL 2 plugin with these settings : Quote:
This can be solved by using an iso. I'll give a try with epsxe when i'll know where to check according to your screenshots. If you could provide a game save , it would help aswell.

If you want a pic for the first problem... it's in the intro... were pietoro ran back to the castle... and the king became surronded by a black background... Also...my menu lags too... so I don't load the game using the save files... But I still save them in the game... Last edited by jc28735250; July 24th, 2005 at 02:03. Reason: +pics+message |

(If you don't have a compatible player , get Real Alternative.) As you'll see i also get a slowdown here , (mainly noticeable because of Fraps eating ressources background  ).These distortion effects are cpu intensive. In the plugin settings , try playing with the "FrameBuffer" option to more or less emulate these effects , that should speed up things. For your second problem , can you post either a gamesave (memcard) or a save state so i can check. Also what are your system specs ? (mainly your gfx card ??) Quote:
If your card support it give a try with Pete's OpenGL2 2.7 Ultimately if your have a fast computer , you can try with the P.E.Op.S. Soft GPU 1.17. Emulation is perfect for me with this plugin without any slowdowns. Still i have an Amd64 3500+ , so that help a lot. On a side note , anyone know a better capture tool than Fraps for 2D games ? Cause while it's nice and fast for 3d games , it really suck and cause slowdowns with 2D ones.

I found a typo....
It should be "fast" not "nice"...sorry about that Also...your video ran VERY nicely... Processor Intel Pentium 4 2399MHz Display Card Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Memory 256MB Operating System Microsoft Windows 2000 Free Disk Space 750MB Display Card Memory 8MB Display Driver Version 6.13.1.3055 DirectX Version 9.0c Optical Drive CD/DVD Sound Card SigmaTel Audio hope this helps... BTW here's the save...after you load it...go to the next level(go up then left) |

Maybe my Gfx card or its drivers are too outdated to smootlhy enjoy this function. Jc28735250 i have no problem either in that level to get the heat effects. Did you try playing with the settings i mentionned ? Also it seems you have an onboard video chip , maybe it's limited regarding the support of the frame buffer effects and could explain you're getting these glitches.

Hmmm...I can't get it to work...
the ePSXe crashes.... Oh well...I guess my best luck is that those nasty black lines will dissappear after I exit the damn cave... In the mean time I'll go with Frame skipping and Direct Framebuffer updates... It doesn't get rid of the lines but does bring the FPS to a normal level THX for the help anyway  BTW... I was just wondering while looking at other posts... would another EMU possibly solve this question? Like...PCSX?(or whatever the name) If so...please give me some names so I can try it out Amazing Discovery!! I found out that I get those black lines even if I go back!! This is really aqwuard since I had no problem before... What kind of problem is this???.. And what can I do??? Last edited by jc28735250; July 26th, 2005 at 06:05. Reason: BTW+Amazing Discovery |

But still i would recommend you to give a try to SSSPSX (which is what i'm using). It seems faster to me and plays PoPorogue better. You'll also notice you will properly get Pietro 's xa speech during the game's intro (this doesn't work with epsxe). As for the plugins and bios to use , refer to the attached picture.
