Final Fantasy 8 hell

the wingless · November 5th, 2001

Hey everybody.

During the very first (not the opening) FMV movie, the entire thing crashes right after Seifer and Squall fight. It just hangs there, and the sound clicks abit. No amount of patience, button-pushing or f4'ing can make it go.

Has anybody else encountered this, or do you think it's just the CD?

here are my specs

Plugins--

Video - Pete's D3d 1.54
Sound - ePSXe SPU core 1.4.0
Cd - ePSXe core 1.4.0

Machine Specs-

Dell 1.3 ghz 256 mb ram
Geforce 3 64mb

Thanks everybody

Yep, it's the CD. Everytime I clean it and dump the ISO, it pauses in a new spot.

So... if anybody has the freetime. Could somebody EMAIL me a SAVESTATE after the movie ends and the IN-GAME engine kicks in? I would love you forever and ever!

Please, somebody with a warm and compassionate soul, consider this little request.

thanks!

Let me see if I have this straight: the game stops consistently at exactly the same spot in the intro, and if you clean the disc, the game picks a new spot in the intro and consistently stops at that point?

Exactly. I rented the game and it looks like a scratching post for a Thundercat.

So.. I can only assume once I get past the first movie, I can enjoy a good 20 to 25 minutes of the game before the next movie kicks in a crashes.

In that case, TIME TO RENT A NEW GAME. Sorry, I don't know of any other solution, but I would definitely get my money back!
