FF9 battle problems

I Lost my memory card so i thought i will try playing it on a Emulator. Well i got FF9 to work except for when it goes into battle, during the "loading" screen for a battle the frame rate drops to about .5 FPS. I am using ePSXe 1.52, Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.76. I clicked the default "nice" option and I have the FF9 special game fix on. i tried to run it through both devices, Primary Display Driver, and my NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS. the resolution is set to 1280x1024. Like i said earlier everything else in the game works great... I Appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thank You

Try Pete's OpenGL2 2.9Since you have a NVIDIA card, it will support OpenGL, and will work just fine. Enable the FF9 Battle Swirl fixes and away you go.

it depends on your graphic card....
i have an ati radeon 9200 ( far..far..older than yours :) )..using pete's OpenGL1.7...eternal spu...
im playing ff9 now...and everything is smooth as always... ;)

Thank you for your help. I downloaded the OpenGL2 v2.9 and it runs smoothly. I Appreciate your help very much!
