Final Fantasy IX Freezing up in a movie sequence

SkylineGTR · December 9th, 2003

I have been playing FF9 fine up until tonight. The game was playing fine till it cut to the movie sequence and then like 4 secs into it, it froze. All of the movies have played fine up until this point. Im using ePSXe 1.6.0. Is there a patch out there i need for this issue?

Post your specs and your plugins. Have you tried using an ISO?

There's a bug with FFIX FMVs on ePSXe 1.6.0. You should switch back to 1.5.2 just to play this game.

I had the same problem a few days ago, and using ePSXe 1.5.2 solved it completely.

village of Dali, eh? to extend on what boltzmann said, use 1.5.2 throughout the entire game, to free yourself of further problems

i have been using 1.5.2 but the FMVs are still stuttering (both sound and video)
i've tried multiple 3d, cdrom and sound plugins
is there any other fixes available?

additionally i was wondering if perhaps sub channel caching was the issue, and if so, which mode should i activate?

**hushypushy** · December 19th, 2003

make an ISO with subchannel data, thats your best bet. upgrading your videocard drivers is good too

c0nfused · December 19th, 2003

any particular programs you recommend for making the iso?

i tried creating an iso with winiso but the game would not start

**hushypushy** · December 19th, 2003

hmm. i like Alcohol120% and CloneCD. im assuming you are in the PAL section of the world, and the game is copy protected. you are going to need to make an ISO with the subchannel data as well.

actually i have an ntsc version of the game (its a burned copy)
and i'm running a pal bios

**hushypushy** · December 19th, 2003

hopefully you burned your own copy of it

, but that might be your problem...

anyway are you using scph7502?
