okay I guess that would help, huh? System: Dell Inspiron 8100 w/PIII running at 866mHz. 384 MB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GO (16MB) WIndows XP Professional w/ SP1 Using The ePSXe v1.6.0 emulator... Note: I did figure out the shortcut for the FPS and other tools using the shortcut buttons inside the game instead of exiting and configuring and restarting.... that helped with the frame speed and helped cut down on the music choppiness a bit, but it still skips around like crazy....that really sucks when you're trying to stay ahead in a race. Current Configuration: Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.72 (GPU) ePSXe SPU Core 1.5.2 (SPU) scph5502.bin (bios) ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.5.2 (cdrom) Using all the default settings within each plugin. Also, running game off the ISO Image There, hopefully that's all you need to know I appreciate everyone's help. ~Edward~
