You can use GFX card buffer (framebuffer texture) to make it show, but it doesn't look like the real thing. To make the swirl look like the real thing does, do emulated VRAM for FB texture and Full software drawing for FB access. Note that this might be a little slow on some comps (not on mine though), but it looks much nicer.

I knew it was one of thos.....Mine went slow for a sec while the swirl went or was it during battles....deffenatly when you cast higher up spells

thx for the help i got it working now. But i got another problem, Everthins in the menus is very slow, when i move the cursor about 4 seconds later i hear the sound then like 5 seconds after that the cursor moves, is there a fix for this one?

No, it really doesn't have to do with framebuffers. The slowdowns are CD access related. If you dump the CD into an ISO the slowdowns before battle and in the menus *should* be eliminated.

You sure? Hmm... Then it's probably your computer.

I don't use isos anymore for it (since I am running out of room in my HD...) but back when I did I remember having no slowdowns.

i *think* i know what was causing the problem, cuz it runs fine now. I had the compress files to save disk space selected, now that i turned it off it runs perfectly

with auto framskip on it likits the frame rate to 50fps isnt full speed 60 fps or is playstation different from snes, n64, etc.?

for NTSC psx's i think the framerate is 50fps but the PAL ones use a higher fps i believe...
