need some help for FF8 & FF9

QBALL · April 11th, 2002

Can someone help me out. I can get FF7 working fine but FF8 & FF9 do not work...

With FF8 it loads up the start screen and goes through the intro at the start with the names of the people that made it, But when i try use the X button to go on and start the game it will not do anything even if i try all of the keys...

With FF9 when i start to run the game it is just a blank screen and does nothing...

a tip for you, try posting your pc specs and epsxe configurations when you have emulator problems

and try searching first for configs for ff8 & ff9...theres a search button at the top of this page

Ultragunner · April 11th, 2002

for ff8, try pressing F4.

for ff9, i think you need a patch.

k thanks

1.8Ghz / G-force2 400Mx / 266MB RAM

epsxe 1.5.0

QBALL · April 11th, 2002

CcrescentC · April 11th, 2002

try searching the configuration for ff8 & ff9, use the search button at the top...thread result for ff8& ff9... it includes the what to use plugins and how to configure it

QBALL · April 11th, 2002

Thanks, Ultragunner it worked (F4 thing)

AtomicFeline · April 12th, 2002

Does FF9 work now?

**Kanodin** · April 12th, 2002

hmmm, i have no problems running FF9 or FF8. i never had to press the F4....hmmm, FF9 should run for you.

**Kane** · April 12th, 2002

FF9? Have a look at my FAQ.
As to why he has to press F4? I'm not sure, but I think it only affects you in analog mode, but I could be wrong.

**Kanodin** · April 12th, 2002

haha, kane you love promoting that faq by the way thanks it did help out alot.

**Kane** · April 12th, 2002

I try to promote the FAQ, so taht we get less of the same questions over and over again. I glad it helped by the way.

**Kanodin** · April 12th, 2002

thats true and too bad there aren't a few faqs out for certain games that keep getting questions asked about.

**Kane** · April 12th, 2002

I'm going to work on that. They are out there, they just haven't been centralised. My FAQ was based on the one that Fivefeet8 and Rargh created, I just updated it and turned it into a webpage.

QBALL · April 12th, 2002

Yes FF8 works fine apart from the movies in it, it stops when they are playing and starts off again does anyone know how to over come this???

P.S how do you put your PC spec at the bottom of your name???

G-Pitts · April 12th, 2002

edit your signature using the "signature editor" at "edit profile" column.

**Kane** · April 12th, 2002

I think you worked out the PS: It's in your signicture.
Are you using savestates in FF8?

QBALL · April 12th, 2002

savestates?

i just use the SAVE & LOAD in the Run menu in ePSXe...

also i use ePSXe 1.5.0 because when i try and chose a video driver it will not let me for some reasion... would that be a problem running it on 1.5.0????

**Kane** · April 12th, 2002

Use 1.5.1, and empty the registry setting (ePSXecutor will let you do this). Don't use the savestates (Save and load in the menu and F1-3), just use memory card save. It's a know issue with this game.

QBALL · April 12th, 2002

I try and uesd them last time when i was playing FF7 and when i went back to play where i last saved it the save solt would not be there
