Final Fantasy VII

[Juniper]

The games seems to work ok... But sometimes, when it changes screen, it fades halfway out then stops/freezes..
Most of the times I've been able to restart a couple of times and it'll work.. But now I've come to a part (the place where you first meet Aeris) where it doesn't seems to be possible, in other words I can't continue... :\

It's nothing wrong with the CDs, they're brand new.. I figured it might be something with my CD reader, so I tried to make images of the CDs and use with Daemon Tools, but still same **** happens.. :/

This is what I use:
ePSXe 1.5.1
Lewpy's GPU 1.35
Eternal SPU 1.20
Pete's CDR thingy 1.10

It was a few years since I last played this game, and I wanna play it again, now! :)

[Juniper]
