Settings for FF Tactics

drummerdude · April 14th, 2006, 05:56

the game runs smooth and everything, but sometimes the characters will start to blink blue and red. is this normal? and if it is, they will continue to blink after the person's turn sometimes.

Im using Pete's OpenGL2 driver ver. 2.8?

here are my system specs...

2.66 P4 processor
1 gb ram
256 mb Radeon 9600xt vid card

if this helps, i mount the image with daemon and then play CDROM (im using the stock WNT/W2K 1.5.2 cdrom)

why don't you select 'run ISO' and select the image?

How have you configured the graphics plugin?

drummerdude · April 14th, 2006, 20:02

I have it for Hushy's config for FF7 and im thinkin about getting Pete's D3D plugin and configuring it for this since ive seen guides for that one and i wouldnt have to reconfigure every time.

oh, and JkkDark, i tried ISO, but its still the same. i just mount it with daemon so for games that i play more often, i can just click run cdrom and i dont have to find the iso every time.

nvm. i went ahead and got the D3D plugin and configured it and it works great, but thanks anyway guys.

To avoid creating a new thread:

I've placed my (legit) copy of FFT in my CD-Rom Drive, and with ePSXe I select run CD-Rom. However, my screen turns black for a second or two, then a pop-up titled PeteOpenGL2 says "No buffer available." I tried selecting run ISO and selected an ISO that I created, and I had the exact same problem. In fact, if I select run BIOS, it says the exact same thing. Any tips?

try downloading pete D3D plugin ver. 1.76 and using these settings. they worked great for me, and it will keep you from having to reconfig everytime you play a game that needs different settings...

P.S. sounds like you got a pretty sweet system there : )

Hmm, tried that.
I turned on Logs.
With both OpenGL2 2.8 and DX6 D3D 1.76, some things are initiated, however, it hangs after "Init core spu ... ok" (for the ISO). For the CD-ROM, it includes in the middle somewhere, "Warning: cdrom read mode unknown." At the end, it adds on, "Error reading CD: 0,2,16" and "Error reading CD: 0, 2, 0"

drummerdude · April 15th, 2006, 23:00

hmm...i have no idea then

also as a correction (i dont think it makes too much of a difference, but you can try), i meant to put Pete's D3D driver 1.76, not DX6 D3d driver.
