Final Fantasy IX Disc 3

JoGGeRo · April 17th, 2004

I tried to find thread which would answer this problem but I couldn't find one.

I'm encountering odd problem while playing FFIX Disc 3. When enemy or myself tries to do certain spells ( Aqua breath, Thundaga ) nothing happens. Screen is showing character which should do it but nothing happens. It just waits. I can time meter get full by other members in my team. I can even select their moves but nothing can be done because game waits that "crashed" move. I've tolarated this some time but when I met boss in Desert Palace I had to ask here. That boss always starts with Thundaga.

Another problem has been spell "Poison". When someone tries to do it game automatically crashes and ends. That was real annoying cuz I couldn't finish that Book in Alexandria's castle because of that crash.

I hope that I was clear enough. My english could be better.

- Offscreen drawing: 2
- Framebuffer texture: 0
- Framebuffer access: 4

try that.

Monkey Fish · April 24th, 2004

tried that and many many other combinations, still locks up for like 30 seconds when garnet heals or vivi uses thundaga (my fav) and if i use a spell such as fira on multiple enemys

**hushypushy** · April 24th, 2004

try using the D3D plugin then...and possibly turning off hi-res textures.

Monkey Fish · April 24th, 2004

tried that too, still no joy i might try a pal bios

WorteX · April 25th, 2004

Wooh, I've got the EXACT same problem!
I'm at the boss in desert Palace, when I cast Water or when the boss cast Thundaga it happens .. Cant do a anything, tried D3D, everything ...
Help appreciated !

I can also see for example Vivi trying to cast the spel, he dances and waves with his staff, but that's it, he does that for ever, nothing happens ...
Szl has the exact same problem in another thread about FF8 ..

WorteX · April 26th, 2004

Bah, as no-one knows what to do, I'll try another emulator .. Dunno if I can use my saves from ePSXe or if they can be converted, but I'll try it ...
Be back with a report later ...
The same damn problem in PSXeven .. The only thing they had in common was the saves, not even the bios .. Wtf is this?!

cloudvii · April 26th, 2004

Tried pressing the L1 L2 R1 R2 buttons, redifining them and everything, nothing

ex0r · April 26th, 2004

I could post my savestate if you want, its right after the battle with the Antlion (Cleyra).

WorteX · April 27th, 2004
