Howdy,

Kudos to the dev for the work put into this emulator.

I'm trying to play this on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH-i727R) which has the Adreno 220. My current settings are:

Spusync
Framskip
Print FPS
Original Screen Size
OffScreenDrawing
Special Frame Limiter
OpenGl downloaded from internet

My only 2 issues so far are the slow battle phases, and the following:

It seems that everyone has the slow battle phase issue with opengl, but can someone tell me which settings i need to make the edges of the screen black? Is this a game specific thing (I don't currently have other games to try) or a phone thing (I know Adreno 220 has some opengl issues)?

Are you using the latest version of FPSE? I'm pretty sure there were fixes for that. Also are you using the latest version off OpenGL? Use the one that you can download from inside FPSE. If so, maybe is an issue specific to your ROM?

There's a thread about the 220 and 225 check that thread. The 220 needs ics and/or ICS.

Thanks for the reply. I am on ics and using the latest fpse and open gl plugin. I played around with the settings and found when turning 32 bit rendering on it fixed the edges of the screen. The phasing into battles still takes very long.

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to get FFVIII to work, but no luck for me! I can load the game, but there is no audio during FMV's. I've read numerous reports of turning on SPUSync working for people, but alas not me.

I'm running a HTC One X with ICS - can anyone advise what I may be doing wrong? Thank you! :-)

That's great to know, I'll include it in my opwnl spreadsheet.

Eambo - do you get audio in other games? Are you using OpenGL or softgpu? If softgpu do you have frame skip?

Thanks bluezeak for your response!

Tony Hawks Pro Skater has audio (albeit laggy), and FFVIII has audio everywhere EXCEPT FMV's.

I've tried with both OpenGL and Softgpu, and with a multitude of settings - although if you've got any specific recommendations I'd be happy to try!

Hello,

I tried to run FF8 on my Samsung Galaxy S3. I downloaded Final Fantasy 8 and tried to play it.
The problem is, the emulator doesn't comes further than the Playstation Logo at the start. This comes around on several FF Roms.

I'm using the FPse 0.11.28.
What should I do? Did I fail at the settings?
I'm a total Noob at this :(


I'm very thankful for any Help!
Greetings :]

Hey,

Trying to get cheats to work on galaxy note 2.3.6. I'm a noob at this so it may not even be an issue.

Found some codes for Squall to have 9999 hit points but can't get them to work. Not sure if I have to use them before I start the game.

Entered the codes, applied them. Load the game, applied them again.

Anyone have any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

that sounds like the exact symptom of a bad ROM. If you're having the issue with multiple rooms you can try reinstalling FPSE. If you have any save games our save states be sure to back then up first (menu misc backup, saves to /sdcard/FPSebackup)

I don't have any exp with cheats, sorry.
