Texture smoothing in Giri Giri??

I was just at a Panzer Dragoon fansite which had screens from Panzer Dragoon Saga running and there is a debate as to whether texture smoothing can be employed in giri giri.

Do any of you know how to turn it on???

Yes, texture smoothing can be used quite easily. It cannot be turned on in Girigiri, but you can have it always on by configuring your graphics card. Most newer graphics cards (that could actually RUN Saturn games at decent speeds) will have a way to turn on hardware options in Direct3D such as Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering. You should be able to find these in the Display Properties. Here's and example from Panzer Dragoon Zwei

WOW! thanks a lot! :emutalk:

I'm gonna try to configure my graphics card now (although i'll probably end up blowing up my computer :doh: ).

If i succeed then i'll try to get some screenshots to prove it :king:

*UPDATE* Got it working! although i have no idea what kind of settings are the most appropriate for my system :crazy:

On first appearances it seems that the visual quality is noticeably improved however it does seem to cause some minor slowdown issues and increases the amount of pop-up. But it's nothing too major

*UPDATE 2* sorted out the pop-up with no apparent effect on texture quality (just had to fiddle with the "Smoothvision" option. Now i just gotta try to sort out the damn slowdown!!-it's only minor but it's the little things that get on my nerves!)

I can't help you there. I'm having trouble running Panzer Dragoon Saga at all :doh:

I get the "Team andromeda presents" thing and then all i get is a weird glitchy sound and then a black screen (which is very annoying since i know that PDS works on Giri Giri-well some of it at least!).
