    Default No WGL Extensions?

    When I try to play FF7, I get an error message that says "No WGL Extensions!" and my ePSXe emulator closes. What do I need to do?

    Use another GFX plugin. I bet your using an OpenGL based plugins, and it has some compatibility issues.

    I was using OpenGL based plugins, so I just deleted them. What plugin do you suggest I use?

    Pete D3D 1.75. You'll need to fiddle with the settings, but once your done everything runs smooth.

    On the configuration screen at the bottom and right above the Fast and Nice buttons you will see Special Game Fixes and button to the right of it with ... inside of the button.

    Click the button and a new configuration window will open. Check the very top setting for FF7, and IF you are NOT using ePSXe 1.6.0 check the 4th one from the bottom that says Odd/Even bit hack.

    Actually for the WGL extentions....your graphics card isn't capable of running shader extensions. This only occurs with Pete's OpenGL 2 Plugins....it requires at least a ATI 9500/nVidia FX or above...moreever it is a stablised plugin and has ZERO compatibility issues.

    This has to do with its settings set in the CONFIG ---> VIDEO.

    for ps1 ogl2-generation plugins are a bit of overkill anyway... much better to use pete's d3d.

    Actually for me I have had better luck on some games and game menues with OpenGL, but since you don't have it I would definetly use D3D as it's still very good. I would only use a software plugin as a last resort since you wont' get any graphical boost.

    Why don't you post your com specs and plugin config? I will optimise them for you. Create a new thread for this.
