FFIX weird problem (screenie included)

[Grand Lethal]

Hiya everyone,

although I'm new to the emuparadise forums I've been around emulating for a few years now, and also PSX emulation, whereto I'd like to thank Emuparadise.org first of all for being my #1 source of ISO's. Thanks guys, and keep it up!

So much for the idle chit-chat, I've got a little problem to announce. While playing Final Fantasy IX (greatest PSX game ever, IMHO, but I'm not gonna discuss that here) on my new laptop I found these weird line-sorta-things over my screen. The scene is at the inn in Dali, for those who know the game. I've been trying alot of options in video config but no good results yet.

As I said, I'm running ePSXe 1.5.2 on my laptop with system specs:

Processor: Intel Core2 Duo T7300 @ 2 GHz
Memory: 2 Gb RAM
Graphics card: Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M
OS: Windows Vista Home Basic

And I'm using Pete's OpenGL2 driver version 2.8.

So there. I guess my question will be pretty much obvious, but nevertheless: who can help me fix this?

Thanks in advance,
~Robin

P.S. If you need any more info like my actual video config options then don't hesitate to post, and I'll get to it ASAP.

EDIT #1: I had to cut the screenshot a bit in order not to exceed the kb limit. But the problem is still very well visible.

Set Texture Filtering to 4 or 0 to get rid of the lines.

Also next time you have a problem with ePSXe, go to Config > Video > Configure > Copy settings to clipboard > and paste those settings to your reply so we'll know what your video plugin settings are.

Texture filtering was already on 0, and I tried 4, but neither of them solve the problem.

If you just want to play the game, you can use Pete's D3D Driver 1.74 with Nice settings and the G4 Polygon Cache special fix. That worked fine for me.

Or maybe you should first remove the Expand Screen Width special fix you have on.

[SegNin]

Try disabling shader effects.

Then try setting Hi-Res textures to 0.

The hi-res textures option seems to be problem, turning off removes the lines but unfortunately also the nice-looking higher-resolution dialogues. In any case, thanks SegNin but if you would have any ideas about removing those lines without disabling hi-res textures, I'd be happier though it's just something extra now, my main problem seems fixed.
