Final Fantasy VII

[IUK937]

Hi, this is my first time using emulators and I've been having some trouble lately with FFVII. The first problem is that everytime I go into a battle, it doesn't do that swirly thing. Instead it just does the swirly thing 1/4 of the way and then stops at that frame. The music also begins to stutter around this time.

Here are my video settings.

(In special game fixes, "Adjust framebuffer access" and "Odd/even bit hack" have been enabled).
Here are my audio settings.

(Enable Sound, Enable CDDA, Enable XA Audio have been checked.)

The GPU plugin im using is Pete's OpenGL Driver Version 1.76 and The Sound plugin is Eternal SPU Plugin Version 1.41. The CD/Iso plugin I am using is Mooby2 v2.8 and this game is being read from an image file. I am also using DELTA2 v2.01.

My System specs:
AMD Athlon XP 3200+ (32 bit)
Nvidia 6600 GT (128 MB)
1 GB (2x 512 PC3200)

Nothing was overclocked and nothing is overheating. Can anyone help?

With that video card i would recommend you Pete's OpenGL2 2.8, then just follow the FF7 config guide.

Try to put FPS on auto-detect,because when I put on 60 once,games were working so fast like I put on 200 lol. And for the sound I am using "ePSXe SPU core 1.5.2" and it works perfect.
And yeah,try to use Pete's OPENGL2 2.8.

Alright, the swirly works for the most part (still some slowdown). But now there's another problem. Whenever it goes to that menu where it shows how much experience/money/items you gained after a fight, the sound starts to lag. I tried switching from Eternal SPU 1.41 to ePSXe SPU core 1.5.2, but the problem still persists. Is there a way to fix this?

Dunno about that, anyway use eternal spu plugin with default settings and buffers size of 32, no need for special fixes and stuff.

Alright I used SSSPSX and the problem went away. Thanks for your help guys.
