The Legend Of Dragoon

[Hairy]

I've started playing legend of dragoon again and ive noticed that the little melty sand thing just before you go into battle is gone (it's just black) and it takes a really long time to actually start. (the *shhhhhhhh* noise takes like 15 sec. from beginning to end) So i was wondering if there was a way to shorten it cause there are alot of battles to fight going through the game... plz help.

Sounds like maybe you need a better video plugin. What plugin are you using, and what are your computers specs?

[SegNin]

Config > Video > Configure > enable Alpha Multipass > click little square button to bring up Special Game Fixes menu > enable 0x0020 : Remove blue glitches Leg. o. Dragoon, Alpha Multipass needed.

Don't forget to also add a check mark next to where it says Special Game Fixes to turn them on.

Oh, and this is for both the D3D and OpenGL video plugins, which you can get here.

I have Pete's D3D Driver 1.76 and SegNin i done all that, that you said and it still doesent work oh and what about that link that u gave me, and what would i have to download for it...

You already have Pete's D3D Driver 1.76, so forget about the link.

Go to Config > Video > Configure > Copy Settings to clipboard > paste settings to your next reply.

to play this game with out either the blue lines or the black longness of battle loading you need to use P.E.Op.S. Soft Driver 1.17

Pete's D3D Driver 1.76 cures the blue line problem but messes up the battle loading same with Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.76

Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.76 doesn't have the battle problem but shows blue lines same with Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.8

Ok thanx, but where would i be able to get P.E.Op.S. Soft Driver 1.17? any certain links?

i had found another thread that was closer to my error but after i registered i cant seem to find it anymore <.<;; .. yes i'm stupid...

when i transform into dragoon, or use the magic, afterwards the attack menu/battlemenu/ all menus are gone and i cant attack anymore, its only happened like 3 times or so but then again i'm not too far into the game to use dragoons often... and i'm using psx should i use different one or what...

also umm, computer specs are ...

Use PSXeven or ePSXe.
Don't worry about memory card formats. They are transferable over these emulators.

well espsxe works well, bout to fix the sound bug, but the memory card for psx is .bin while epsxe is .mcr ? converter i guess, or how would i use my old game file instead of having to start over again
