First off, I wish to again, thank the previous posters who helped solve my first emulator problem.
Now, I have found out how to get the games to run correctly on the ePSXe and I also downloaded the PSX Emulator; so getting the games to run isn't an issue anymore. Both emulators run the .ccd and .img files perfectly. I now have a problem with three certain games I am trying to play on both emulators - both of which seem to produce the same graphical glitch.
The three games I am trying to play are Star Ocean 2: The Second Story, Valkyrie Profile, and Parasite Eve 2. The graphical glitches are more prominent and more noticeable with Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean 2 but still noticeable with Parasite Eve 2. The glitch is that the graphic animations will stop until a new animation starts. The best example would be with a spell in Star Ocean 2 where the casting graphics completely stop until the spell animation starts - or with Valkyrie Profile - towards the end of an attack, or directly after, the graphics will stop until the enemy starts their attack. On both games, the graphics will start again during the end of the spell where the damage is displayed (or near the end of the longer spells) with SO2 and when the enemy are moments before attacking me or when they attack me on VP.
When I was first having trouble with my ePSXe and getting games to run, I remember seeing some sort of option about graphics with SO2, VP, and some other game(s) when trying to configure the graphics plugin. The current plugin that I am using - the only one that works - does not have that option which (supposedly) fixes these graphical glitches.
So far, this glitch has not been a burden with my games other than allowing the enemy to get a few free hits on me every now and then.
**Side Note**
Just to clarify, I do own every game I am trying to play so nothing illegal is taking place, if anyone was wondering. Also, this glitch does not occur all the time, just occasionally. Not enough to completely hamper the game from being played, but enough times to severely annoy me - especially with Parasite Eve 2.
