Well hello !

I've managed to get an excellent setup for FFVII (so far) except for one big drawback:

Every third time i enter a sub menu (e.g. item, materia, equip) the game sorta hangs, with music still playing (VERY slowly) - leaving me 2 choices: to F3 back to a savestate or just close and start over.

My only idea is that it's cus I'm running from my own disk, and not made an ISO.

could you please post the plugins you are using and their configs?

Used with "Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.8"

Window Mode - 800x600
32 bit colour depth
Internal X (2. Very High)
Internal Y (2. Very High)
Stretching Mode (0. Standard)
Render Mode (2.)

Texture Filtering (4. Extended W/O Sprites Unflitered 2D)
Hi-Res textures (0. standard)
GFX Card VRAM (Autodetect)

Use FPS Limit.
FPS Limit (55.0 fps)

Off-screen drawing (1.)
Framebuffer Effects (3.)
Framebuffer upload (1.)

Screenfiltering ON.

MDEC Filter ON

Special Game Fixes ( 0x0002 ON)

P.S. The hang happens on the first and second entry of the menus too, so It's virtually unplayable

Try these settings instead

- autodetect fps (should be 60 for ntsc and 50 for pal games, if you set it manually, so better keep it automatic)
- use fps limit
- framebuffer effects: 2 (standard)
- disable game fixes

what graphic card do you have?

PS: welcome aboard. Nice avatar, btw

Hrmmm.. Same problem, 3rd time accessing "Materia" It locks up in transition..

I got a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300.

P.S: Here is a screencap of where it locks.


P.P.S: Tanks!

p.p.p.s: BANG, I think I fixed it with SaPu's CDROM Plugin.. I'll get back to ya after some more testing

I thought it was the cdrom plugin from the beginning. Its advisable that you use Pete's CDrom plugin.
