PSX games freeze on my psp...help plz!

[pkmusicmaker]

I'm having the same problem, let's be detailed on when it's happening so we can find a solution.

For me it first froze when I drew a cure from an enemy during the SeeD test mission and casted it instead of stocking. Now it freezes during the boss fight at the top of the tower during the same mission (Elvoret). The difference with this freeze is I can access the Home Menu during the freeze.

I really hope there's a fix for this, cause it's driving me nuts.

I also have PS1 games freezing

Destruction Derby, and Destruction Derby Raw,

both freezing after racing, games run great, but hang here or there.

In the first I have made it thru 5 seasons before freezin

In the second It is just a few races then freezes.

Havent played much FF7 yet, but 10 to 20 mins in and no problems.

PAL version of games?

Final fantasy VIII => NTSC
First time it crashed for me was on the tower when fighting elvoret, second time i got passed it by killing it asap, so i didnt use much magic. But then it crashes again at the "black widow" when he does a special attack or i use "burning rave" or some magic.

FFVIII (8) also freezes up for me. I've gotten past many of the glitches mentioned earlier.

I am now stuck at the second dream sequence at a place called Centra - Excavation Site. When you control Ward, Laguna, and Kiros. You are running through a set of caves when your party comes to the edge of a cliff and you are suppossed to fight a number of Esthar Soldiers. Well anyways the game freezes after the Esthar Soldiers use an attack called 'Shotgun'. Now I have played this same part about 40 times so far and have found that the game usually freezes the second time the soldiers use shotgun. I have also tried all of the remedies suggested on this message board (overclocking etc.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im having those problems has well...

On Crash Bandicoot 2, it still sometimes crashes in the end of the bonus level in level Night Fight (level 23 if not mistaken)

In tomb raider I, in the zone St. Francis Folly, on the BIG room where you have to gatter the 4 gods keys, in the Thor room, sometimes the game crashed... specially when i pressed the select button to go to the inventry screen... And even out of the room, sometimes it crashes when i try to access the inventory...

still, after a few tries, i was able to pass the level...

So I think I may have found a solution for those of you who have been having trouble with FF8 freezing up during battles.

I had mentioned earlier that I was stuck at the same part for quite some time now. I have also noticed that these freezes always happen during a battle, usually when the camera zooms in on the enemy. So I went to the Configuration Menu (in the game, which can be accessed on the normal menu), and set the Camera Movement to 0%. I tried the part I was stuck on and got through it no problem. I then saved it and havent played it any farther, so I don't know if it will work for other freeze points.

So please let me know if this works for anyone and I will continue to play and keep everyone updated as to whether or not it freezes again.

HAPPY GAMING!!!

well did what you said and dropped the camera movement to 0%. Then i tried to use zell's "Burning Rave" again but it still crashes.

on final fantasy 8 i've gotten past disc 1 and am right after the Lighthouse Orphanage flashback.

mine freezes when i use draw ALL THE TIME

I was trying to get tonberry king, and i was using my lvl 64 diablos to do 9999 damage each hit thing, until about 9 tonberrys through it froze when i tried to cast curaga on squall. 3 hours of work down the hookah pipe...worst of all you can't save in the odin ruins :'(

i think the freezing might be random but also there are specific areas and commands that cuase crashing.

in some other games i have like "Jade Cacoon" (great game BTW, underated though) it works absolutely fine until i reach a certain corridor, and it freezes(wich sucks because i need to get past it to get to thethe boss in the dragonfly forest.

if anyone can find a way for me to get through that damn corridor i will gladly offer you my soul.

even if it involves using my computer and an emulator other than pops i will do it to get further in the game.

thanks yo.
