Title: ePSXe plugins and getting it to run fast
Post by: VincentCraven on April 03, 2009, 08:30:29 am

Okay, so I need to use ePSXe to use the pec emulation codes, but I'm not used to this thing at all. Thankfully I've got nearly everything running like I want it to.

But I can't get it to run faster than 60fps. Quite frankly that's not anything too terribly bad, but I like to be able to speed through stuff.

Also, is there a particular sound plugin that's good for FFT? The music sounds a little off on the one it comes with, so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for this.

Thanks guys.

Edit: Oh, and I tried toggling frame skipping/ no auto-detect frame rate but I think there's at least one other thing I need to toggle other than framerate at the video plugin.

Sound plugin - I use No Sound 0.4
Plugin - Most people recommend PEOP's Soft Driver 1.18

Have you tried hitting F4 (I think?) or removing the frame limiter?

Also, have these settings. Config Plugin --> Check Use FPS limit, check Use frame skip, and set the number to something like 120 fps.

If it is still running slow, try running at a smaller resolution.

EDIT - No sound plugin

Delete is the options menu while in-game, just press home as soon as it comes up(first option). Should remove the limit, I usually get up to 200-300 fps in battle if I do this from my set cap of 60.(BTW, the intro screens/movie won't speed up, only once you get to the load screen, in-game, and battles.)

epsxe 1.7

you on EPSXEZEEE 1.70?

1.70 has major issues running some games at over 60 FPS

regardless of visual emulator

I'm on 1.7

I didn't know about the issues about running games at high FPS. Should I roll back to 1.6 or 1.5?

if you're having issues, yes.

Otherwise, it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Similarly, I'm still rocking 1.5.2 from when I first got espxe in like... 2003.

F4 and Delete were the commands I needed.

Thanks guys.

Eternal SPU is what I would use. It is almost perfect in terms of sound emulation for all games.

I use 1.6, especially after 1.7 messed up IX and such..

I have a hard time getting over 60 sometimes, mainly when I'm multitasking, but my max is always around 70, kinda pathetic..

Edit : Finally realized the filter is screwing with my sig >.>
