FF8 crash..............

[samandhi]

here is YET another thread having to do with FF series, hehe. I am having trouble even getting this one going. I start the game and the intro movie crashes every time. just freezes. Runs all my other games great, including another square game Chrono cross.

Plugins used:
Pete's OGL 1.54
everything set to basic. all specials unchecked.

ePSXe SPU core 1.4.0

Pete's CDR ASPI/IOCTL Driver 1.7


SCPH7502.bin bios

computer specs:
AMD K6-2 500 mhz
Geforce 2/GTS (asus 7700 deluxe is manfctr.)32 mb ram
224 mb 110 ram
Soundblaster Live Platinum
8x DVD rom
24x4x2 Creative (actually is a Pioneer drive) CDR-W

also have tried to use ISO thinking it might be compatibiliy of CDR-W or DVD since all other games work great for it.... I cant experiment much, as it wont even run in VGS, and Bleem runs it fair but not to the extent ePSXe runs stuff hehe.

Nevermind, ignore last post of mine. I solved the issue myself (for now at least hehe).
Belive it or not it was a sound issue. For some reason, it was causeing the game to lock up (not ePSXe, but the game itself). I used a different plugin and it works fine now .. woot.
