Final Fantasy VIII (8) Mega Compatibility Technique Thread Type X50388

[radiansansred]

I am. So far, I can say that the game crashed when I tried to cast Double on Squall during the Brothers fight, and it continues to crash at the Iguion boss fight nearing the end of Disc One when they use Resonance.

My current plan is to just leave Carbuncle behind and see what happens.

Tmy game freezes everytime i cast scan no matter which character i use.. anyone encountered it?

I am new to this but what I did after my eboot kept crashing on scan every time was make a new one without compression IE level 0 and used the id that was suggested
earlyer in thread.

not crashing on scan at all at the mo and tried it maney times. and speed has not slowed down.

can`t test any more as i have ff7,10 to play which i know wont crash.

hope this helps

ps my firm is a slim with 390 m33 and popsloader

I'm running on default CPU speed so don't think thats a cause.

OT: Also, I tried bumping the CPU speed up to full to see if that helps with the FF9 lag. Sadly it doesn't. Don't think the emulator can handle the high level of detail that all the 3D models use in that game.

Doesnt using pops cause to psp to run at 333 mHz ??
anyways i looked online a lot,
an from personal experience to,
using certain magic like scan (whether drawn or cast) can cause freezing
I also had it facing Ifrit though now i htnk i guess that was scanning. Not every scan will set it off, just some.

FF8 WAS working fine for me, until I went back to play it recently. As of 3.80-5 it was flawless apart from when a Visage casts scan or draw on your team, now with the most current FW, its just hang-a-rific again for just about everything.

Mildly tempted to bump down to 3.80-5 again just to finish this off because I'd got all the way through the game (with no problems using the information earlier in this thread) to Esthar.

But once again, people check back to see how to fix this game, I can confirm that on 3.80-5 with the Game ID specified, no hangs, no freezes, no lag... right up until I got to disc 3 and upgraded firmware.
