Hi, sorry I know there were threads about this already. But I just want to make sure about something about the SMT games since I got all the games the other day online and wanted to try it out on my computer.
First my desktop configuration is:
corei7 920 @ 2.67GHz
Nvidia GTX 285
6GB RAM
I tried to run the games with latest beta but came across several issues.
For all the SMT games(exclude Persona series), it seems the latest Gsdx has the z-depth clitch with the objects that you can see through. I did some search and know rev1406 could work on it. But when I ran with rev1406, for Noctorne the speed in most scenes is full but there is some frame drops(around 50fps-ish) when there are more than 3 NPC on the same screen; for Digital Devil Saga, the slow down is much more frequent, especially with big scenes. Even the battle in DDS can sometimes slow down to 50fps.
Also another common problem is games hang up and crash a lot. Especially when you enter a new area, the game will crash some times with the EE error. Also the games will hang up some times when u go to the new area with only the black screen and music playing in the background. (it happened one time in the battle in Nocturne. Pressed the button to choose the command, but nothing happened afterwards with only music playing).
Anyway, I'm just posting this to confirm/consult others if you guys have the same problem or is it just me? Because many people say Nocturne can run perfectly. Also the slow down in DDS, it seems quite unusual since it uses the same engine as Nocturne.
