Emulating

Yeah, so I played this game once on an emu and had relatively little to no problems. Now I am doing it again, and I am having some problems. I've kept everything the same, as listed below. Suggestions?

Specs:
Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.75
P.E.Op.S. DSound Audio Driver 1.7
ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.5.2.
scph7502.bin

I've activated 0x0001 - Adjust framebuffer access for FFVII battle swirl. This is what is the major problem is, in fact - the battle swirl never shows up, and the game stalls horrendously before moving on. I am playing off a CD, so I expect minor half-second stalls, but this is absurd.

Would it have anything to do with your recent virii problems?
