Question for FF fans on psx emulator

Tavy Garcia · December 25th, 2006

I'm looking forward to playing my FF games using the psx emulator and I check the compatability list. It seems that some of the games may have some problems.

So I was wondering if there was anyone out there that has played these FF7, 8, or 9 all the way through using the "psx emulator"

also, what is the game disc ID mean?

The disc ID is the 5-digit number that you see as the name of a file on the root directory of the disc (for instance, FFA:FFV has a file called "SLUS_008.79" in it's root directory, so SLUS-00879 is its ID).

I am going to assume that since you live in California, you're probably using NTSC-U games. In that case, all three games can be played through on pSX. I have personally played through FFVII and FFIX, and on the forums, others have reported playing through FFVIII. As of v1.10, the sound problems that occurred in FFVII are gone. FFIX... you may want to quicksave before ATE's, as there have been reports of a couple of them in the game causing potential freezes, though using a PAL BIOS or fast forwarding has gotten past these problems just fine. FFVIII... that one event in disc 3 that has been reported... only seems to happen to some people, independant of settings or BIOS or anything like that.

If by some chance you actually come across a freeze you can't bypass, you can always switch to ePSXe to get past that part, and then switch back.
