Hey guys, is this thread still functioning...? Anyways my problem is pretty much teh same as everyone else here, Except this is the problem. I have the fail opening gs plugin problem, but I didn't have it when I used windows XP, infact the games worked fine, except a bit less speed. So I decided to switch to Vista, maybe bit faster. But then once I switched (using the exact same options except for graphic change from d3d 9 (hardware) to d3d 10 (Hardware) Then I started the game, and I got that problem. I tried everything, and yes I updated my Direct X 10 in many many different ways, including the official way. It said I already had the latest version, still problems. The error log is in the attatchment, and my PC specs are...

Vista 64

I have a windows xp desktop, using pcsx2-r1736 version where it can play ff10 but not on my windows vista laptop. I didn't get a chance to try with another ps2 game, but I went into the 'emulog' file and copied this:

"Opening Plugins...
MTGS > Thread Started, Opening GS Plugin...
MTGS > GSopen Finished, return code: 0xffffffff
An unhandled or unrecoverable exception occurred, with the message:

%s

Pcsx2 will now close.
Closing plugins..."


I encounter this error when I attempt to open ff10 in my vista laptop, "GS plugin failed to open/initialize...", I would like to make ff10 work on the vista laptop, this is my vista computer information:

"Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" <-- looks like you don't have a driver installed for whatever graphic card you have, install the driver and it should work.

I've been a troll here for ages, and love pcx2. I had this same issue the other day, drove me bonkers. I had no issues in the past, then last week I got that error. I could get it to work by changing a setting in the SPU2-X plugin for audio. under output select 2- direct sound. It fixed it for me. Good luck
