Chrono Corss graphic issues?

Weeklam · November 16th, 2005, 18:23

Look at this:

OK Note that the image file size is 800x600 (had to resize it) but I play on the resolution of 1280x1024

Anyway as u can see the character models = great but my only issue is the pixel-ated sceneries!! Why is it like this? I changed the settings in ePSXe (like the textures) and the resolution I play it on and still like this.

aren't the backgrounds of cities or shops/Ins (like u see in the pic) ment to be pre-rendered backgrounds (like FF7, 8 9 etc)

also I even loaded my FF8 disc and got pixel background and not nicer pre-rendered

any help please?

Those "pixilated sceneries" you're referring to are the pre rendered backgrounds

. That's why the look low res compared to the polygonal character models.

it's because the poor backgrounds are in 320x240, the more you blow them up, the crappier they'll look

the best you can do is to play at a multiple of 320x240 (640x480, 960x720, etc) and you can use shaders to blur the background a bit. but you wont get hi-res.

What I used to do with FF9 was turning on Shader Effects (GLSlang smoothing) and setting it to Shader Level 2. This made it look a bit softer, but not too blurred. (btw, this will only work in Pete's OGL2 AFAIK)

Oh I see, I guess this is a standard thing then, I'll see if shaders make a difference. a shame this is happening because the scenery and environments is what I think appeals to me the *MOST* in RPGs. (the music sets the theme and backs this claim)

That's why I love FFVIII the best! oh well...

Ehh.... um *whisper* How would I enable shaders again for ePSXe?

Use Pete's OGL2 plugin and in the config menu, under 'full screen filters', there will be a check box called 'shader effects' check it then select option 4 from the drop down menu.

and use the edit button in future.

what about using 2xSal in your hires textures option menu?

2xSal might help a little bit. combine it with shaders, and you should get desirable results
