About Soul Calibur.....

[Louminater]

In the compatibility list it says this about Soul Calibur:

"Soul Calibur: Works almost perfectly, vs screen is a little glitchy, but other than that it works perfectly, full speed too"


Well, the best I can get is like 30 FPS, but it usually drags down to about 20 FPS during the battles (in arcade mode), I tried running Capcom Hack to see if it helped, but not much. I tried VGA and NTSC just to see if one would work better then the other, but there was no difference, and no difference in turning on ZWrite and Alpha test ZWrite.




I have a:

Athlon 3200+ XP
200gb HD
1024 RAM
ATI 9800 pro


So what could be the problem? Or does the game run around that FPS for everyone else too?

Also, for Ikaruga, does anyone else not see the invisible bullets in level two, or do I just have some shitty luck?

Thanks in advance

I find overclocking the DC CPU to about 108% gets it up to a nice speed. Try pression the '+' key on the keypad 8 times during the game and see if that improves things.

make sure that there are no programs running in the backround. also remember to but the priority "above normal" (gives a good boost 115% works for me = 75 FPS

+1 post XD

that´s strange, I have an AMD 2400 with 256 ram and a Geforce FX5200 and it runs at full speed in the menus, and around 30 and 45 FPS during battles. some stages run at 30 fps and others (like seong mina or Yoshimitsu's) run at 45 without problem. I even have other programs running in the background (Emule, firefox and messenger mostly).


with your computer the game should run at max speed.


One thing I have noticed, the game runs slow from the CD-rom, it works better as an iso

Speaking of Soul Calibur ,anyone has the intro movie or knows where to find it? Also other in-game movies with characters...

If you using deamon tool, try alcohol 120 for good speed.

Does alcohol 120% make an actual speed difference? I didn't think it would really matter. I'm gonna have to try it.

you could try using Fraps to record the movies yourself. It's a game utility mostly used for taking screenshots and recording videos for Pc games. there shouldn't be any reason why it wouldn't work for ChanKast though. Just make sure you doing it with ChanKast in fullscreen.

No, it makes no difference. The drive emulator that comes with Alcohol 120% is based on the Daemon Tools.

Well,the problem is i dont het enough fps .
I have a 1.4 Ghz processor and the minimum recommended is 2 Ghz as i know.
Too bad Soul Calibur wasn't released on PSX too.
We wouldn't be having this conversation now.

What version is best for Soul Calibur?
0.2 ,0.2a or 0.25 ?
Some guy told me to play on 0.2(faster but with more errors he said) and the cpu at 114%.
Also have you guys tried Chankast Utilities ?It integrates an option called Speed Pig ,which adds some speed they say(the authors claim they even got 100 fps with it)
