Final Fantasy IX problems (Cut-scenes + random battles).
Hello everyone! I'm having a pretty annoying problem while trying to emulate FFIX, and it's really trying my patience. So far, it is two things (hopefuly I don't find anymore): first off, the intro FMV doesn't even seem to load-- I mean the one after the Squaresoft logo when you first start up the game. Perhaps, it really isn't a big deal, but it annoys me that it the screen attempts to load, but then goes straight to the title screen. I just don't want other FMvs to do the same, I suppose. The second is more related to the game-play itself, whenever I get into a random battle, the music plays just fine and the swirl animation works, but after that it is just a black screen (the music still plays perfectly). I'm really not sure how to fix this-- I've tried other plug-ins, different settings, and none of these seem to help. If anyone knows of anything that could remedy this, please let me. FFIX is one of my favorite games, and I would really like to be able to play it.
**Hardware**
CPU: AMD Phenom II N640 Dual-Core (2.9 GHz)
Graphics Card: Dual Graphics -- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 (on-board) + ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 512 MB. (Using the dedicated card for emulation; lastest drivers from the AMD website are installed.)
RAM: 6.00 GB DDR-3
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Emulator: ePSXe
Version: 1.7.0
Plugins: Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.9 (on the default 'fast' settings) ; P.E.O.p.S. DSound Audio Driver 1.9
Other Plugins: Have tried Pete's OpenGL2 2.9 with the default 'nice' settings which produces the same result; PEOps software driver 1.19 produces the same result, and Pete'sD3D driver produces all sorts of oddities-- missing screens, parts screens missing, ridiculous slow down when getting into a a battle making thins unplayable. Have also tried setting the graphics VRAM from 0 (auto-detect) to 512 MB which fixes nothing.
Tried other emulators: Yes-- AdriPSX, PSX 1.13, PSXeven, PCSX all to no avail.
