No Video

[Ausguy]

Hi there

I'm new to this emulator, and have configured it as best I can.

I'm attempting to play FF12 from the original disc, and while I can hear the title music, I can't see the video. Log is below, any help is appreciated. Cheers.

What GSDX mode you're using? Hardware, software, or Null?

I wonder why your FFXII constantly changes PAL/NTSC mode. As far as I know PAL versions of Square games sucks and never have 50/60Hz selector.

it scanned it twice. PCSX2 assumes NTSC

RE Livy: I think the BIOS menu tells me that GS is set to: GSdx 5534 (MSVC 16.00, SSE2) 0.1.16 [gsdx32-sse2-r5350]

Is this what you're asking about? I'm not sure how else to determine the GSDX mode.

RE Saiki: Are you suggesting that the issue is the emulator is running in NTSC? If so, how do I fix it?

[refraction]

it scanned it twice. PCSX2 assumes NTSC

No it doesnt, just if the register is unset, that defaults to NTSC, the game is running in PAL mode as described by the last line. The switching is merely how the game is setting said register, many games do a lot of switching like that as this is how the sony libraries do it.

If you arent getting any videos try pressing F9 (software mode switch) and see if the videos appear. Once you have watched the video you can press F9 again to swap back to hardware rendering.
