Need Emulator Info
« on: 2001-04-21 13:36:00 »
TextTextTextI was wondering if anybody has had any luck emulating FFIX on the computer.  I have Connectix and Bleem and they do not work (I see Square Presents and a black screen) I contacted connectix and they told me that square has a gay block that they can't crack (okay so they did not say GAY).  I was wondering if anyone has any info/patch about an emulator for FFIX or if anybody thinking of developing one.

I'd recommend you to use ePSXe instead. It's so much better than bleem and CVGS.

When I tried ff9 in cvgs it didnt give me the battle menus, epsxe works fast and makes it look better than on the psx (if you have FSAA enabled anyway)

Joey:

Try changing the settings?  Use Knack's software GPU plug-in, set to 640x480, 21 inch and "normal speed" for the speed adjustment.  This gives you most speed if your 3D card is no good.

Yes, you can read the PSX cd's from your CD-Rom drive. I don't think many people can afford to d/l roms of and PSX game that spans even 2 cd's or more.  :)

Yeah, I like ePSXe.  I use Pete's pluggins for the GPU (I have the D3D, OpenGL, and Software versions.  Amazingly, the Software one works better than the other two!!)

The only thing that isn't too good is the sound.  If only I could find a good SPU pluggin . . .

Sound? I use Null2's Audio Driver 1.35 and for me it works gr8 (reverb, tone cache, sound linear interpolation, vag stream) It just requires some time to configure it properly (buffer length and number of blocks, it's generally different for each sound card - cpu configuration)

Yeah you have to fiddle around with the plugins alot to get it to work correctly, try changing the box with the 3 options (two of which being extended and standard) to standard, that sorted problems with my battle menus out.

I have a voodoo 3 card too and ran into the same promblem. I lowered my desktop colors from 24 bit to 16 bit and know it runs twice as fast with little slow down. Many factors determine the speed and look of the game, not just the graphics card. This makes it hard to pinpoint a good universal driver. That is why we have drivers in the first place. My best advice is to run through all the drivers one at a time and mess with the settings. It took me 3 hours to run through all the video drivers to find a fast speed without sacraficeing graphics or sound. In closing I would like to say that I found epsxe the best emulator out of CVGS and Bleem. Bleem looks good but the sound is terrible. CVGS runs fine but has little options so you cannot enhance the graphics.

Simon: Bad luck mate but if you have the PAL version (like me!!!!! :-{  ) then you can't run it!!!

Some kinda super-smart protection on the cd or something!

Does anyone know if it is possible now (or will be possible in the future) to emulate PS2 games on the pc?
