Need Help for FF IX

[unknown]

Hi there ppl,

I really need some serious help here... I'm current playing Final Fantasy IX using PCSX, and there is a problem. I'm in lindblum castle at the place where I have to search for Dagger (she's singing). But once I walked towards her screen, which generates an FMV sequence, there is an error that says that:

"pcsx.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. An error log has been created"

This forces the emulator to shut down and happens all the time no matter how many times i restart my computer/pcsx. I tried to use the memory card save file on other emulators, but I don't know why, the latest save files are all corrupted, no matter how many slots i save them in.

These are the specs I'm currently using:

how do I do that? I can't transfer the memory card as the last saved file before that is corrupted.

Also, i don't think that the save states could be transfered as well, as ePSXE savestates require two files - one is the pic and one is the game save. The pic file is missing from pcsx.


Anyway, thanks ppl for ur help.

dogfeet, i'll try to get it to u asap, thanks!

i dont think you need the pic file. as i recall, that was only started as on epsxe 1.6.0 and even then it's not really a necessity. i'm not sure if your pcsx save state will work on epsxe though... i've never tried that. but it's worth a shot.

hey dogfeet,

thanks for ur offer, but i i got over with the problem already using a previous memory card save file and playing it again, coz the savestate was a too big for me to send( 1.83MB even after it is zipped) as my internet speed is very very slow.

anyway, thanks ppl
