Ys I & II Complete video question?

[Yakra]

Ok... question number 2! (I knew I'd end up asking this, but was desperately hoping I wouldn't have to). I finally got my hands on Ys I.II Complete and tried installing it (not that there was much to do) and used the patches too (thank you o god-like people who made those!!), but as I expected, for some reason the videos are running at lightning fast speeds while the music is trotting along at its usual normal pace. Why did I expect this? Well... a while back, at the start of my recent incredibly excited Ys fit, I tried installing the Ys II version that Falcom released through Yahoo japan games area? That had the same problem.

I was looking through the older threads hoping for some solution when I came across this one:

seldane.proboards107.com/index.cgi?board=ysI&action=display&thread=2284

Would some video codec fix this problem of mine? And if so, does anyone have any clue what this codec is?

Sorry for bothering you all again! (Perhaps this be a sign I should stop loitering about and get back to work!)

<sub>[[Er... yes... I downloaded it. *guilty* One day when I actually get a credit card all the Ys games shall be the first on my list!

Does this mean though I'm not worthy of getting any answers?]]</sub>

Ah, I also have the same issues with the Yahoo Japan versions, even when I patched them. Nobody really remembers what codec they used. I also had problems with bosses moving EXTREMELY fast, such as the final boss of Ys I. Sadly, I haven't found a fix for that issue either -- I tried following every last instruction from the patch/troubleshooting FAQs and the message board archive, but to no avail. If anyone finds a fix for any of these problems though, I recommend these fixes get stickied.

For example, I also had issues with the music in Ys I and II not playing, or playing at the wrong tempo altogether; the solution? Another patch on the site which I was completely oblivious to.

Ouch... that's worse! D: I haven't really played on till a boss fight to be able to complain (actually, I haven't played on at all!) but I haven't had any issues with the music not playing, thankfully! Er... yet...

Mweh... so I'm doomed then? I'm destined not to play this (properly)!

(Maybe I should try installing it on the ancients old 1 GB computer...)

[Ascended Mermaid]

That would probably help. Perhaps if you installed Windows 95 to an alternative directory, (WINDOWS2 or WINDOWS95, for instance, as opposed to C:/WINDOWS/) or some 95 emulator, it just might work without a problem. I've never done this myself so I can't really speak for the people that do do this. Infact, I don't even know if Windows 95 has international language support. =\ However, what didn't work for me just might work for you, so before resorting to drastic measures, try following the troubleshooting/faq included with one of the Ys I & II Complete patches.

[Yakra]

So I went back and read the troubleshooting FAQ with the patch again and that remined me of something. Em... where on earth is V-Sync on one's graphic card? *idiot* I mean, I don't think I could have turned it off, considering I can't find it, but just incase I might have in my early days of happy idiot exploring when I first got this computer, I want to check?

Oh, I have a NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GS by the way, sooooo... if anyone knows their way around this graphic card, help would be most appriciated!

Man, I made exactly one of these not long ago, but I can't find it. Well, here's another one:

[Yakra]

Thank you! Yes, I was actually looking at that old 'V-Sync guide' of yours but since my control panel looked different (like this one) I couldn't figure out for the life of me!

Or rather (how incredibly blind can one be?!) I was staring at this very panel and still did not see it! Either way, I went clicking away, turned the V-Sync manually on (unchecking the application based box) aaaaaaand... still a fast forwarded video! Oh well... (Why on earth were my settings on Castle Wolfenstein though...? )

And since I went on a hyper install everything mode a few minutes back, my control panel resembles the one from your old guide now.

One odd new thing I noticed though after this - after Adol wakes up, is half the clinic usually shrouded in darkness??
