Graficbuggs+soundlaggs, confighelp needed

[SeraLuca]

Cheers~

I've played around with config for some hours now. But I just can't erase these bugg! >_<

My specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @3.00 GHz
4x1GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT 512MB (XFX-Version if that matters ' x ')
Windows XP SP3

Config:

Didn't want to miss anything! ^^;

My sounds laggs - sometimes hard - but it's bearable.
The problem are the grafics:


I've seen nataq01's post about this game (Tales of the Abyss). Screenshots were nothing like mine!

So, i finished Tales of the Abyss from the begining to the end, only few graphical glitches occured and sound was getting little buggy few times ( it was going faster than it should ) but overaly its 100% Playable, FPS never droped under 100%

Windows 7 64bit
CPU : Phenom II x2 550 BE @ 3817Mhz @ 1.488V
MEM : Geil 2x1Gb @ 800mhz
GPU : Palit Radeon hd4850 512Mb @ 635/1050
MAB : Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3

m using:
PCSX2 rev.1659
GSDX rev.1650 ( native res because of ghosting bug )

CD - Linuz Iso CDVD 0.9.0
Controller - LilyPad svn (r 1607)
Sound - SPU2-x 1.2.0

I'm also unable to use Linuz Iso CDVD.

Error loading <path to .iso>

and

Error Opening CDVD Plugin

Any suggestions?

I'm a total newbie to play station emulation in general, please be patient. =3 I only have Tales of the Abyss right now.

Best wishes,
Sera~!

Set GSdx to pixel shader 3 and make sure your ISO image is not used/mounted by any other program

Enable Logarithmic-Z in GSdx for the graphic glitxh, I'd also suggest you get the latest beta and use SPU2-X as sound plugin so the sound lag is less noticeable.

Thank you two for the fast replies!
The tips really helped out.
Even though I don't know what changed by using SPU2-X plugins.

Though I can't use pixelshader 3, because even starting a game lacks so hard, that getting to the titlescreen would take like 30 minutes. Why is that?

All runs pretty good, considering my computer isn't that good.

Only thing is:
The game is pretty slow though - normal with 2x speed hack.
Do I need the speedhack, or is that a configproblem as well?

Hm seems that 9500 card is REALLY slow I guess you already have the latest drivers for your graphics card. To get some free extra speed download and use the latest release beta 1888 from our site ( http://pcsx2.net/downloads.php?p=publicbeta )

Hmm strange... I got r1888 ready - start the .iso - after waiting some minutes looking at the frozen window, closed it. Tried pixelshader 3 -> same. I guess my pc doesn't like speed! ?_?

I guess you need one (or both) of these:

I needed the first one! Thank you!
Pixelshader 3 works now, that's a big difference! It's great now and I can start playing!

You've been a great help and I'm happy now!
