Monster Bomb problem in FF7

Freyppu · July 23rd, 2005

I've searched the forums to find a match regarding my problem, but of course, finding such a match would make life too easy. So here's the deal:

I'm playing disc 1 heading to Corel for the first time. Train tracks and the like, and the first Bomb I encounter, I start beating on. Well he does that move where he goes to blow up, and the game crashes right after it displays the move name and before the blow up animation starts. Any thoughts on this?

My settings:

Plugin: Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.5
Author: Pete Bernert
Card vendor: NVIDIA Corporation

- Keep psx aspect ratio: off
- No render-to-texture: off

Framerate:

Misc:

Any help would be appreciated.

loading off save states? load off a memory card. otherwise, load your save in PSXeven or PCSX, try using a different video plugin to pass that part, by the way are you playing off CD or ISO?

Using ISO right now. I'm trying to avoid the switching of the graphics driver all the time. Although it may be my only choice.

He was talking about the emulator, PSXeven and PCSX are other psx emus. Sometimes we run into bugs in one emu that isn't apperent in another.

just to make sure, you are playing FF7 on epsxe 1.5.2, and not 1.6.0, right? Otherwise, use the former, 1.6.0 introduced some timing bugs that broke FF games compatibility.

Freyppu · July 24th, 2005

No I'm using 1.6.0. And my bad for misunderstanding the emulator part, I just read video driver, but still more or less the same thing I'm trying to avoid.

Guess I'll go try 1.5.2.
