I released 2.63 which is the same as WIP69 with the output image seam and refresh rate bugs fixed:

The problem with Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace is 16fps instead of 30.

This game suffers from some timing issue because of letting D3D to set the FPU to single precision. The degree of FPS loss may even depend on how long the OS is running since the boot.
I have a patch, try this, I got the game running at 30fps:

It works great! Can you still give me a small gift for the new year? Patch wmain.exe so that the game runs at 60fps.

You can try using the 60fps cheat.
Backspace->Type "60fps".

Enhanced for Matrox Mystique

It was previously discussed in another topic about asking for help through the hex editor to fix the .exe file so that 60fps are always available at startup.
