    Default Black Screen in FF7

    I have a P4 3GHZ with 1GB RAM and a ATI Radeon 9800 128 MB Card. I am using the Pete OG2 2.8 plugin and decided to do the perfect setup which I found in one of the EPSXE threads on here. For some reason though it gives me a black screen although I can hear the sound effects in the background. Below is my configuration. What do I need to change?

    No idea, but you should keep the offscreen drawing to at least 3.
    Also check the game fixes. I remember there being one for FF7.

    EDIT-
    The OpenGL 2 plugin doesn't have a 3 setting for Off-Screen Drawing.
    It only goes as high as 2.

    Thanks for the help guys. It's up and running and looks pretty good for an old PS game.
