ePSXe Settings

Anima

Hey,

I've set this up and and i have made my iso of FF7 but when i play it its kinda laggy. I know it has to stay at 50 fps so is there anything else or a setting that can make it smoother? Also whats the best res?

Theres an option in there somewhere to enable the fix for FF7, cant remember where, In the gfx settings i think

smells like your using a software gfx plugin without the processoer to back it up.

the game fixes are the ff7 fix and direct framebuffer update

use eternal spu plugin and turn the fine tune up to about 16 as for some strange reason the sound seems to be running a little slow. the frame limit of 53 also helps even out the pitch of the sound. now these setting run it 100% full speed on my p3 500 gf2mx so there is no reason it shouldnt run better on yours.
