final fantasy viii rom glitch

the words in the game are missing. they are replaced with a black box where the words are supposed to be. any one have any suggestions? im using epsxe emulator. and using the pete's plugins

 

Also use ePSXe 1.5.2

I had weird text glitches in Final Fantasy 8 when I tried it with ePSXe 1.7.0, and when I switched to 1.5.2 with the exact same plugin settings, the text issues disappeared.

 

I tried the ePSXe 1.5.2. The same problem continues
I also tryin using the 'nice' defaults and using the special game fixes on both emulators but the problem still occurs.

 

was using Pete's OpenGl2 Driver 2.9 before and i had no problems playing a game with it. i had no problems with it but for some reason now when i try to load a game with it, an error occurs and the emulator crashes. I also tried using the Pete's OpenGl2 Driver 1.77 as well but the boxes still remain.

i have a RADEON IPG 345 graphics card

 

what directx one?

 

ok. i downloaded the dx6 and dx7 version 1.77. i tried them both on the epsxe 1.7 and 1.5.2. both still have the same error.

 

did that. nothing

 

Are you running the game with "Run ISO", burning it to a CD and playing in your actual CD Drive, or are you mounting the image on a virtual drive with a program like Daemon Tools?

 

"Run ISO"

 

ok. i got it fixed. i just needed to restart the whole game instead of continuing from my last save point. thx alot to all those who helped me. i really appreciate it
