what emu?

What are computer specs? If you're using the PC version, movies could shudder if you don't have a fast enough CD drive, enough RAM, or a fast enough processor.

Try turning on the "low-res movies" option in the config.

Details Zophixan, Details!

First off: PC or PSX?

How much RAM, What Processor (Include mHz or gHz count), and How fast is your CD-ROM?

Finally, you ARE aware that there HAVE been some problems with FF8 PC & XP/2000, right?

*Should* handle the game very well. What is your processor speed?

I dunno... try the low-res movies option in the configurator. Also try getting the patch (1.2 or 1.02 or whatever).

Nope its running in dma, I've noticed its a there's a problem with bink in games but not when running avi files in windows xp

Possibly some problem with the video options in Bink; the default option in Binkplay is to use a DirectDraw surface and on my old video card (Savage4) that was a *lot* slower than the YUV overlay option ... unfortunately, while you can change that for the standalone bink player, there's no way to make FF8 use a different type of playback.

I never solved it on my card; it's possible different drivers might resolve it.

Aaron · « **Reply #11 on:** 2002-03-29 22:15:00 »

You tried getting the new drivers?

Detonator drivers 28.32 for Windows XP came out not very long ago. I got them and the sped some things up.

Zophixan · « **Reply #12 on:** 2002-03-30 07:54:00 »

I've got the 28.32s already.
