FF7, FF8, FF9 problems

[Movitz]

I own all these games retail and PAL but I can't get them to work in the emulator. It just turns black on FF8 and 9 and nothing happens and FF7 freezes when the blueish text about piracy comes up. Why god WHY!!!! =)

I've heard something about a patch or suchlike here on the forums but how can I find that and why will it help?

Try downloading the PPF patches for the games foind in the PPF section of this website.

The patches should work.

Why not play FF8 for PC?

Maybe it's because FF8 PC is set to 640x480 on 16-bit colour (with 24-bit backgrounds and movies being downed to that depth, too) and you can't get Hi-res textures or really hi-res anything?

Or he doesn't own a copy of FF8 PC...?

Have a look at my guide, it should help.

err... there are patches to change that but I still think you should play the PSX version in ePSXe

with the ppf patches you have to make a iso with cdrwin first have done this with ff9 and ff8 make sure you get the pal one nz one form memory
