Yes, I am tickled pink that I am playing Breath of Fire III on my computer.

Yes, I am tickled pink that I am playing Valkyrie Profile on my computer.

No, I am not tickled pink that there are [seemingly] random discolorizations, in the form of green, everywhere. One moment, I am fine, the next, half the ground is a transparent green.

I have also noticed that some text-based cutscenes have weird text distortions. Breath of Fire IV for example; the text is a thin black, but it comes up most of the time as a blotchy, thick black, and the picture of the person talking does not even show up; these distortions stay until they have a second screen of dialogue [Textbook lectures.]. Or, the green strikes back in the Menus, and half of the graphics are rendered a transparent green of what it is rendered as. In other words, a green version of the normal rendering.

I would provide screenshots, but I am clueless about how to do so. *sweat drop*

I guess the whole aim of this is... Why is this happening? What can I do to rectify it, whether it be a new BIOS [I am using 'scph1001'; Not entirely sure...], or a new Plugin [Current is PeteOpenGL2.dll], or some other problem.

I do enjoy the emulator, however; they do not make games like they used to, least of all RPGs like they used to.

Another side-question, while I am ahead of myself. Why is a command prompt popping up in the background when I run my game? It is very annoying, because I am a natural multitasker; playing a game and speaking to five people, all at the same time, while reading a walkthrough or fanfic. It gets hard to multitask when a seemingly-useless command prompt is wasting taskbar space, and making it harder/longer to Alt+Tab between screens to do what I do best. If I can do so without worrying about side-effects with the program, how do I suppress this prompt? [EDIT] I should also mention that this command prompt was not showing up, when I first started using ePSXe. Random note, but it might be useful. [\EDIT]

Thank you for your time, and I hope to see answers soon. *thumbs up*

I myself had some problems withs metal gear solid for the ePSXe. I just started trying the different video plugins b/c the one i had as the main didn't support some of the txt in metal gear. The one that worked was the P.E.Op.S Soft Driver 1.16. Try that one and if it doesn't work try a different one. After you have tried them all and still have the problem then i'm not the person to talk to anymore lol. Good luck.:)
