help with FF9

Nemesis · November 11th, 2001

I've been playing FF9 on a patched iso of my friends cd which seems to screw up right at the end of CD3 (after beating the guy in the black cape, forgot his name) so i went and rented a fresh copy but this wont even load, does it need to be patched or something, and if so how. Its and australian version which is pal i believe.

Yes, ff9 pal versions need be patched to work in epsxe.

Regards,
Carlos.

damn, i patched it but my save states arent compatable

does anyone know why it crashes after you beat garland, i just assumed it was my cds/iso cause the cds were scratched, but it might be something else.

**Betamax** · November 11th, 2001

There are bugs with saves state in ff9 that can cause it to crash just like that. The solution is to use a proper memory card save vai a moogle then exit, reload and complete that section with out using a single save state. Hopefully should get you past it.

uh, that crash after the fight on the ship is caracteristic from the Kalisto release, so u might wanna try another patch

Nemesis · November 13th, 2001

you were both right, the save state was just screwed so i had to load from a previous save state and go through the battles again. I cant save via moogle it always says save failed but i think thats because i had the ****ed up kalisto release. it would randomly crash for me too.

Oh well its finished now.

where can i find the patch for pal version of ff9?

**Betamax** · November 14th, 2001

Check www.aldostools.com/ff9.html .

tidoro · November 14th, 2001

i have an italian version, which patch i have to download?

tidoro · November 14th, 2001

what have i do with it?

Nemesis · November 14th, 2001

megagames.com is a good place for patchs, once you have it you need to use a ppf patcher on an iso of the game.

all can be found, including instructions at the above link.

dpence · November 14th, 2001

ummmm.. I don't know if that is an acceptable site to post since it also has Cracks and such......so if it gets removed you know why....

tidoro · November 14th, 2001

nemesis, send an e-mail with link to tidoro@yahoo.it, thanx

Nemesis · November 14th, 2001

well i am new to this board but at most boards its ok as long as it isnt a direct link (ie. www.google.com) i dont know if its the same here so we'll see what happens.

**Betamax** · November 14th, 2001

Italian version... sorry your out of luck. That's the only version without a patch (ie its doesn't work).

tidoro · November 14th, 2001

great, I'm the only guy in the world that has buy ff9 original psx games without a psx and i can't play puttana eva!!!

**Betamax** · November 15th, 2001

Up untill July I was in the same boat (uk version) so I know how you feel

tidoro · November 15th, 2001

how long I have to wait just to play?
In your opinion?

**Betamax** · November 15th, 2001

dunno:confused: I had to wait about 4 months

Nemesis · November 15th, 2001

you could try other patchs, when i used the UK patch on my australian version the patch said it was wrong version, but it still worked. So give it a try, you got nothing to lose.
