FF9 problem

[ville666]

I have a problem with ff9. I run the game from pal cd. The game has run smoothly until disc 3. In the Kujas desert palace there are two gargoyle statues and several candles. What you need to do is to light the right candles and blue stairs will appear. When i walk the stairs to another room there should be a fight with the palace defence system, Valia Pira but it just doesn't start.
I can do nothing in this room and I'm totally stuck...

I'm not sure if this is a problem with the emulator or if i had done something wrong in the game.

Here's a quote from gamefaq's walktrough:

If you examine the 2 gargoyles, the one to the right is the “Apostle from
Underground” and the one near the painting is the “Messenger from Heaven”.
The clue says don’t follow evil. This means that do no face towards evil
(which is the right Gargoyle). So, light up the candle which is the right at
the left Gargoyle. The shadows of both Gargoyles will be facing to the left.
A Blue Stairs will appear at the center. As for the other clue, follow those
of good, the shadow of the right gargoyle follows the shadow of the left
gargoyle which is the good ones.

Note: If you lit BOTH candles at each of the Gargoyles, you’ll get a Venetia
Shield at the left and a Black Hood to the right.

Now, go around again and go up that blue stairs. In the next screen, unequip
everything that you got by inspecting bloodstones here at the palace (Promist
Ring, etc.). Now, move forward and you’ll fight the defense system of the
palace.

And yes, I'm using epsxe152.
And thanks for the answers beforehand.
