When the characters are small they are made up of small triangles and squares instead of just being smaller but normal in appearance.

Is there any way to fix this?

Welcome to the Playstation!

Newer emulators like Beetle PSX HW and Duckstation have this newer technology called PGXP that tries to alleviate this. I don't personally use it though. I'd live with the intended wobbly verts on the proper frame buffer through accurate software renderers.

Why are you running an emulator that's at least six years old?

But yeah, as mentioned, PSX 3D rendering just isn't pretty, newer emulators have workarounds, but it's just never going to look good at high resolution.

If you want to play Final Fantasy VII, modding the PC version is your best route if you really want high resolution character rendering. Personally I prefer to play the PSX port at native resolution.

I'll try those other emulators later, thanks for suggestions

Because it's outdated, and other emulators are significantly better?

It's sort of like asking why you would use Firefox, when you have this perfectly good install of Internet Explorer 4.0.

It's like why would I want to run Windows 98SE to play some kids games like Land Before Time series that struggle at best on newer OS's and have no modern equivalent since almost anyone does is the same things over and over.
