After playing 'Final Fantasy 9 again at a friends house I happened to look it up and found out that it was coming out on the PC.

I noticed that they have made it for PC now with slightly improved graphics but i own it already on the PS1.

The problem is that the first disc is scratched and freezes everytime I get to a certain bit so to save me buying it again I wanted to download it for free off a website.

I searched and searched and could not find anything!

Thats where you guys come in... I need to download the PC version of 'Final Fantasy 9' and I was hoping that you guys knew a place that I can download it!

Currently I have searched on Google, Shareaza, Kazaa ++ and Bittorrent.

Or buy it for the PC, as it's a different version to the PSX edition.

Also, downloading products like this is illegal! Huzzah! So no, don't give out any links.

Well I understand by what your saying but I remember that I constantly tried to clean it but failed miserably and besides I hardly play on the PS1 anymore and was foolish to not play games on the PC a long time ago :S

It's better graphics which is a goodside

Edit*

How can I recover the CD data

A name perhaps?

dunno about your fair land, but we have stores that specialize in these forms of game play. they will usually buff the disk for nothing, just because you show an interest in another game they have.

also, wal-marts has portable buffers on sale, but i cannot promise how well they work.

i personally have used a liquid polymer that you apply and allow to dry. after which you rub the access off and have had pretty fair success recovering data enough to burn a new disk.

Sounds like expensive stuff :S

I guess your right in stating that I can't illegally download it but it would have been nice to have a PC version

Cleaning it I shall then

The better question is why would you want to play that Piece of S***? Crono will argue otherwise, but IMO 8 and 7 are far better. I guess the reason why i never like 9 was because of its impossible to understand card game , and crappy "skill" system (I mean 2 ap for every monter you fight! Coomn raise it up as you prgress so we can level up our skills or abilites!)

But yes just contact the place you bought it (or squaresoft). Funny you mention a scratched disk, because I had the same problem with my PS version....took it back to software etc. (now gamestop) and they replaced it free of charge . Good luck with your game!

Actually, I don't think downloading a copy is at all illegal if you have the original version anyway- the same rules apply to other emulators, and anything else would just sound like Sony trying to take the laws into their own hands (are there any PS2 emulators around?)

And yes, 'buffing' your CD should work- in most cases it's just scratches on the protective surface, and not actual damage to the data layers, that prevent a CD from being readable.

He had the original on Playstation, not PC It's still technically illegal, you can use copies provided it was a backup off a disk you bought originally I think.

Either way i was trying to avoid links to torrent sites etc being posted Si badd!!11

Just download the ePSX emulator. It requires the game cd . Also your cd/dvd-rom in your computer has a far better laser then the anything Sony has made.

Also, with emulators, it's kind of hard to own the games if they were never released. Like stuff for MAME. They're all arcade games ... (Note* emulators are not illegal, however, envoking the copyright symbol and copying the system bios are.)

Anyway, the only other route is the illegal one. [addsig]

Be warned with ePSXe though; it's a bitch to run FF9 on it. There are guides to help fix this, but I'm sure you know how to use google, so I can't be arsed finding them for you.

What are you talking about? FFIX runs fine. Maybe you should get a different Video DLL and such. It'd probably be a good idea to make an ISO image of each disc before you play though. Since the read speed for the program sucks.

Also, Bobv ... no one can tell you that here ... [addsig]
