LOD Slow

When ever i get into a battle is it normal for the time for getting into the battle (i.e) like final fantasy X when the screen shatters and the enemy shows up
im using ePSXe 1.6.0 with pete's OpenGL driver 1.76 thanks for helping me

Try using ePSXe 1.7.0. Also trying different plugins and plugin configurations can help.

By LOD I'm assuming you mean Legend of the Dragoon.I run it using Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.9
