Hey guys, i need help...

I managed to pass the tower (thanks for the tips/workarounds), but now i'm stuked on "Dark Empycchu" (the city that doesnt have colors).

Everytime I enter the city, the emulator crash. And I know it's the emulator, not GS plugins, because on some places I had to change from pcsx2 0.9.5 (the emulator simple crash) to 0.9.4 (a lot of "vmhack" appears on the log screen and some garbage on the screen, but emulator dont crash).

But in Dark Empycchu nothing works. Already tested 0.9.4, 0.9.5 (a lot of SVNs, including 351 and 359). On 0.9.4 a lot of vmhack appears... and crash. On 0.9.5 just crash, nothing unusual on the log screen.

I already saw videos of people almost finishing the game, so I assume there is a workaround. Can someone help me please?

I'm with 46 hours already

ps1: my Dragon Quest 8 is USA [F4715852]
ps2: just in case i tryed gsdx from 0.1.0 to 0.1.7 (and zerogs as well). same vmhack messages on 0.9.4.... on 0.9.5 nothing changed: the emulator just crash.
