Final Fantasy 9 Iso creation problems

Xanathus · December 1st, 2002

First, the problems. During battles, the battle screen appears, camera moves around, enemies appear, but none of my heroes appear, and also the battle menu does not appear.

Also, when entering certain rooms eg. the first room in the first cargo ship you get on, the item shop in Lindblum, trying to start the Hunt quest, the game will first fade to black as usual, but then it hangs. ePSXe does not crash, it just stays black.

Now all these problems were encountered when using an ISO I created from the original CD. However, these problems do not occur when I load a savestate using the original CD. The problem now obviously would be my ISOs. I've already tried making ISOs using Isobuster, CloneCD, Blindwrite & CDRWin but they all have the same problems. Can anyone help me out?

its in the plugin config... did you OC your PC?

Xanathus · December 1st, 2002

No, I didn't if OC means overclocking. I also tried out a plugin created by Mooby that I read about in the earlier posts although I didn't really understand it too well. And it still did not work.

REi_FoX · December 1st, 2002

try to post your video configuration so we can see

**Shiori** · December 1st, 2002

Well, I used Isoproducer last time I ran through FF9 using ISOs... never had a problem.

REi_FoX · December 1st, 2002

i remembered using epsxecutor about that bug...

i kinda forgot about it...

**Yeloazndevil** · December 1st, 2002

well try loading from memory card since Savestates are known to cause some problems

REi_FoX · December 1st, 2002

i think it will stop at the same place...

we all know that FFIX hangs a many places ehile using an emu

**Shiori** · December 1st, 2002

It never stopped for me.

REi_FoX · December 1st, 2002

it once stop on me...

the part where dagger was running for eiko at alexandras castle

Have you tried looking at my config guide?

Xanathus · December 2nd, 2002

Ok, here's a list of other times when the game locked up:

1. In Gizmaluke's Grotto, at the bell room, when I entered a battle the battle screen appears but neither the enemies nor the heroes appeared, but music still plays. Avoided this by savestating my way out of the area and avoiding battles.

2. After battling Gizmaluke, "After Battle" screen (the one with the gold and xp stuff) blacks out and then game hangs. Solved this by using a savestate on my original disc.

3. When fighting one of those trick chests in Burmecia, I go near it, the screen blacks out to enter the battle screen, the black......hang....and if I try to go further on the loading black screen hang happens again. I can go back out though. Using savestate with original disc does not solve this.

Are you using cheats?

Xanathus · December 2nd, 2002

I'm not using cheats and the one of the settings on Kane's site (the texture filtering I think) makes it look awful and in any case it still has the same problem with the config on Kane's site.
