I've searched the forum but I haven't found the answer.

Is it possible to filter (blur?) the textures in world map/battle screens using GFMX440??

If I remember right everything was fine when I was playing the game on my old Riva card (I guess I can change GF back to Riva...).
 
Some old & also some cheap cards do it automatically... i think its a hardware thing.

I've got a card somewhere here that does it (TNT card maybe??) i'll rummage around and see if i can find out which one and take a screeny of it.
 
Of course. You get texture filtering when you enable the Hardware mode. If your card fails the 8-bit pallete test, simply check the TNT option (actually works for most cards) and it will allow you to select Hardware mode.

I thought he was talking about the background images?

Well - it doesn't work for me :(. Neither with or without the "nvidia" option checked.
 
But did you also selected Hardware rendering after checking the NVIDIA option?

Of course.

EDIT:
Oh. I've checked it one more time and this time it crashes out to Windows or shows something about ntdll?

There's more: the credits sequence after the Eidos and Squaresoft fmv's doesn't appear properly at all - no background, some very strange colors, and then it crashes to Windows again (without error message).
 
Mmmm... looks like something releated with the 8-bit palltized textures. Have you tried disabling it using Riva tuner?
By the way,  I remember tha my old GF2MX passed the 8-bit palletized texture test even without the NVIDIA option (well, I crashed if I tried to enable it actually)

Yes, I've tried it earlier. I guess that was the time when the game was working with the nvidia option checked - but, the textures still weren't filtered. This seemed odd to me, because d3d hal was selected. Well I guess I'll just have to look for that TNT card.
