Posted this over on ngemu, but that forum seems pretty dead, so I figured I'd repost here to see if any of the local wizards con help me out (or at least replicate the issue so I know I'm not insane).

I'm having trouble using Pete's OpenGL2 2.9 video plugin with multiple games (but the one I notice it most in is Harvest Moon: Back to Nature). Before I go any further, I'm using ePSXe 1.9.25, and below is my configuration for the video plugin:

Plugin: Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.9
Author: Pete Bernert
Card vendor: ATI Technologies Inc.
GFX card: AMD (ATI) FirePro M4000 (FireGL V) Mobility Pro Graphics
Resolution/Color:
- 1920x1080 Fullscreen - NO desktop changing
- Internal X resolution: 2
- Internal Y resolution: 2
- Keep psx aspect ratio: on
- No render-to-texture: •E
- Filtering: 0
- Hi-Res textures: 0
- TexWin pixel shader: off
- VRam size: 0 MBytes
Framerate:
- FPS limitation: on
- Frame skipping: off
- FPS limit: Auto
Compatibility:
- Offscreen drawing: 0
- Framebuffer effects: 3
- Framebuffer uploads: 2
Misc:
- Scanlines: off
- Mdec filter: off
- Screen filtering: off
- Shader effects: 0/1
- Flicker-fix border size: 0
- GF4/XP crash fix: off
- Game fixes: off [00000000]

While playing the game, everything renders perfectly and runs at 1080p60. However, the problem I'm having is that there is a strange horizontal line that loops through the screen (starts at the top, slowly drifts towards the bottom over a number of frames, and then starts back at the top again). The effect is very similar to screen tearing, and that's what I thought it was originally, but after messing with frame-limiting and vsync options in both ePSXe and my graphics card control application, I now know it isn't.

The issue does not happen with the software renderer, so I know it's something related to the plugin. Can anyone provide any insight as to what may be causing the problem?

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?

    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yeah power supplies are filthy perverts
