Emulation requires a decent system.

Make sure you've downloaded and are using Pete's Plugins: http://www.pbernert.com/html/gpu.htm
(the OpenGL2 plugin works a bit better with FF8 over the regular OpenGL one, but requires a better system)

Move it to your plugins folder (it's in the ePSxe folder) and go to Config -> Video to select it.

Go to Config -> Video -> Configure

Now, in the lower left corner, click on 'Fast' for the default settings.

Then, set these things to the correct value:
Off-Screen Drawing: 0
Framebuffer Effects: 3
Frambuffer Upload: 1

If you still experience slowdowns, lower the frambuffer effects/upload even more although doing this may get rid of battle swirls entirely and mess up transitions from screen to screen.

EDIT: Alternatively, try using P.E.Op.S. Soft GPU (Windows) from the site I gave you, and using the 'Fast' settings with that.

yeah.. looks like you'll never be able to get the battle swirl looking right if you want everything else to work

but anyhoo, i lucked out last night, found a 9001 series psx mint condition, 2 ctrlsrs 2 memcards MODDED for $20 CDN on craigslist..

Use SSSPSX and you can max the settings.

Are you sure fireblaster_lyz? Why would that be if you're still using the same GPU plugin?

EDIT: For some reason, SSSPSX isn't letting me select my BIOS (it doesn't appear even though it's in the folder).
