final fantasy vii on epsxe 1.52

Video plugin is Pete's Dx6D3d plugin, sound is eternal 1.41 plugin. Im playing final fantasy vii from an iso, and it runs fine until the new game part. I have to wait for about 5 seconds then it allows me to press a key. After that, when I get into a battle, the thing sort of hangs for 1.5 minutes (I can hear the music in slow motion), and then it enters the battle. Im using vista home premium, and opengl2 does not work for my graphics card. Any solutions?

Enable Game Fixes. There are a few for FF9 specifically, dealing with the Battle Swirl. (pre battle animation).Specifically, 0x0200 G4 Polygon Cache ONLY for FF9 Battle Mode... Yellow rect.

im using final fantasy 7. And this not only happen with battle screens, it happens with changing screens too. Everything slows down considerably.

Oh, sorry. Well, there are Specific game fixes for FF7 battle swirls, etc. as well.Are you by chance playing it from CDROM or an ISO?

Thanks. If you have final fantasy vii, could you test it out for me and if it works properly, could you post the details of your configurations here?

I played it with the download from this site just fine. Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.9Autodetect FPS/Frame Skipping.
Special Game Fixes:
0x0001
0x0002

Does it work properly using dx6d3d or d3d plugins?

I couldn't get the battle swirl to work correctly, but it still "worked".

The battle swirl was a black screen right?

No, if FF7, the battle swirl is the current screen image blurred, then rotating, I believe counter clockwise, in towards the center, leaving a trail behind. It works correctly with the OpenGL2 driver, with the DX6 driver I could not get the swirl to swirl, the image just stopped, the sound was right, but the animation was not there, then it went to battle. With the DX6 driver it just looks like it skips the battle swirl animation.I'd recommend using the OpenGL2 driver for this game if your card supports it.
