Best Video Plugin for ePSXe?

[JoeC_1234]

Could you guys tell me the best video plugin and settings for this damn thing? I must've tried a million different ones.

System Specs:
2.4 Ghz
384 mb RAM
128 mb Graphics Card

That should be all of my system you need. The graphics card is from ATI.

The only two I know of are Pete's D3D and Peops. But you've probably tried those...

[JoeC_1234]

I tried two versions of the D3D but not the other.

EDIT: Ok, I just tried the Peops one. It loads up and just stays on a  black screen. What specifically do you use as your configuration for this?

Window mode

Size: 640 x 480

Stretching: Stretch to full window size
Dithering: No dithering (Fastest)

Framerate

*Transparent FPS display
*Use FPS limit
*Use Frame skipping
*FPS limit (10-200): 60 FPS

Options

Scanline mode: Scanlines disabled

(Nothing else checked)

Activate special game fixes: Odd/even bit hack (Needed with 1.5.2 or older)

And I am using ePSXe 1.5.2 just out of habit.

-_- I think the problem is my cdrom plugin. What are you using for that?

EDIT: Also, is there a way to make my CD Rom into ISO files?

[ZeaLitY]

I'm not sure; I'll have to check tomorrow.

As for .iso

I use .isos mainly because its easier than switching discs in and out.

[JoeC_1234]

I'm having trouble changing the cd to iso. It doesn't appear in the top left where the cd should be listed.

EDIT: Ok, the problem is most of the plugins don't detect my E: drive. They detect my J: drive only, which is a virtual drive so I can't exactly put the CC disk in it. :/

Well, now that it's crossed into real hardware, it's beyond me. You can wait for another reply here, or try http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=23 (lot of people visit that one). I have my own problems with a DVD drive I bought; my comp doesn't recognize it when I exchange CDs most of the time.

[JoeC_1234]

Anyway, I found out the whole problem. My friend. Wow, I am never letting anyone borrow my games ever again. The reason it always didn't recognice/froze was because there was a giant gash on the bottom of the CD. I downloaded the ISO for the game and it works fine. Since my FFIX couldn't be found, I downloaded the ISO for that game too. There's a problem with this one, however. The battle menu doesn't pop up. Meh, I guess I've gotta tinker with it.

That's the main problem with PSX emulation... You have to tweak the settings for different games. There are a few programs available that let you save and switch between different setting profiles for whatever games you play, but finding the best settings is always a bit of trial and error.

Being a Mac user, it's been a while since I played anything using a PSX emulator. Post a screenshot of Pete's D3D driver config dialog if you need some help getting FF IX working. Maybe I'll remember a few key settings.

Well, since I'm having a similiar problem I thought I'd just post it here.
Anyways, I got Cross and I configured the needed stuff. Now, when I load it, it goes alright (The opening FMV plays alright, ect.) after I pick "New game" and pick "Vibration" off it, the screen goes black. Nothing else happens, all black. Any advice? (Sorry if this talk is illegal)
