Chrono Cross looks quite ugly

[DakuTenshi]

Hey everyone,
I have bought Chrono Cross on ebay lately and decided to play it with ePSXe as it is supposed to be able to get games to look better. The game works perfectly but compared to some screenshots I have found thanks to google, my game looks like ****

Here is how it is supposed to look like:


And here is how my version looks like:


I know, that quite scary and the characters look like there were made of Legos but I am unable to get it to look better, that's why I'm asking for your help.

My specs are:
Chipset: Intel 945PM+ICH7-M
CPU: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T7200 (2.0GHz, 667 MHz, 4MB L2 cache)
Memory: 2GB DDR2 533MHz
Graphic card: ATI Mobility™ Radeon® X1800 with 256MB GDDR3

That's all you need to know.

The plugin I use is Pete's OpenGL2 2.8 and is configured (I am not even sure this word exists in english lol. Let's say: is set) as following:


By the way, it seems that I am unable to set "Internal X resolution" and "Internal Y resolution" to anything higher than "0. Low - Native PSX Resolution", or else ePSXe tells me that there is "No Buffer Available!". Any idea to help me?
I have done the hyperthreading deactivating thing and I run ePSXe with the -noauto tag.
I find I have said everything you needed to help me.

PS: If you see any english-related mistake (no wait, WHEN you see any english-related mistake, yeah that looks more true), please tell me in order to help me to progress in english.

Hello DakuTenshi and welcome to Ngemu forums.

I suggest you to read this.

P.S: "configured" exists in english and yours is quite good. And nice laptop you have.

Thanks for the advice, but for some unknown reason, my graphic card decided to allow me to set "X Internal Resolution" to "High" and "Y Internal Resolution" to "Absolute Roxxor OMFGHUGE Eleet Supra High" . Weird enough, anyway my game looks wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better now .
By the way, thanks for the compliment, I've worked hard to afford it! (People don't know how hard stealing is, it took me ages to steal it from Grand Ma'! *kidding* *kidding*).
You are french too? Where do you come from? (if the forum's rules doesn't allow us to talk in a thread, PM me to answer).

Aye, my graphic card is perfectly compatible with DirectX 9.0c (which is December release) and it had nothing to do with it but anyway, thanks for *trying* to help me.

Dude the resolution is still WAY too high, unless you don't want native PSX resolution and want (what i did anyways) to crank the **** up and smooth it all out for that resolution, otherwise in a native PSX resolution, you can't expect to put it up in a HIGH DEF resolution and expect it to look like PS1. Basically turn your resolution down to like 640x480 or something like that, that should do the trick.

Got it, thank you.

I don't know if you already tried but use Pete's OpenGL 1.76 video plugin.

As said before, Shendo, my problem is solved but thanks for trying to help .
