FFVII Loading Problem

vii17 · October 14th, 2011, 19:29

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and am in need of some help. I'm using the PSX emulator and .bin/.cdz files to load my games. I am on disc 2 of FF7 and at the part where Tifa gets captured and Cloud is mia. After Barret fails at opening the door to get Tifa out it cuts over to the scene of Heidegger running to Rufus with Rufus' reply of firing the cannon at Weapon. The three sailors that were then given the order run off-scene and Heidegger runs a short distance behind Rufus. (Here is where the error occurs) Right after Heidegger runs the short distance and stops, the screen blinks black and goes back to Heidegger standing behind Rufus. I haven't played this game in years but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to cut over to the cinematic of Sapphire Weapon getting blasted. It stays on this scene, music still playing, with Heidegger and Rufus standing there doing nothing... forever..
My question is that could it be a save state problem? I read that sometimes there are issues and to always have a backup so I was sure to make a new save state file frequently. I have gone back to old save states and worked my way back up to this point (probably about a half an hour to an hour worth of gameplay) and the problem still persists... If anybody has any clue what the problem might be, please give me your input.. I don't wanna restart all over again..

Thanks -Matt

Savestates can sometimes cause problems like freezing. I suggest you make a regular memcard save and load from there.
