FF9 hurts. I don't think I've seen a game with more uninspiring and pointless side-quests which are already unclear enough. I really wish it had stuck with the FF8 card game...of which I wish they had released the physical cards in NA.

I liked FF9 WAY more then 8. Although, they're both a couple discs too long. [addsig]

Well I took the advice of downloading an emulator although I have had some problems setting it up and had help from a nice guy on msn.

Thanks for all the help anyway and I licked my disc until it was clean as clean can be!

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 ...

Hell there are more problems for FF9 than anything else!

Anyway I had an idea to fix it

Basically I opened the scratched disc on my computer and extracted the ISO files and now I am going to burn them onto a disc and hopefully that should work :/

I don't need a special disc do I?

It seems everyone else just sucks. Since I'm running 1.6 with no problems with any games.

I wonder why everyone has problems with many games when I get them working just fine

Habboi, don't bother re-burning the game. If you do that, you'd have to swap on a playstation and if you're doing it for this emulator, it's kind of pointless, since you can load the image to play (which runs faster).
Did you configure the video and bios properly? (important). [addsig]

I'm going to try this out, I've got ePSX and the original FF9 discs...we'll see what happens on my machine.

[edit] Got it to work just fine. The game ran at about 140fps and I had to manually cap it at 60fps. Nothing like the intro song in about 10 seconds.

He probably hasn't configured the bios properly. Or maybe he's using the generic video modules... [addsig]

Well I basically asigned the bios, the video, the audio, etc etc

Then I inserted my disc and clicked run CD.

A black MS/DOS box appears and says all this ok stuff and also says:

A box appears and is loading because CD is making noises but nothing happens after that!

Why does one cmd prompt say it's a PAL CD, the other NTSC? You have to change the settings, not just assign the bios and such.

I think that is because I accidently put a PC game in their :S

Anyway I am still having this problem where all I get is a black screen and I read that this is because the CD is protected and that I need a patch to get it working but all patches I have downloaded do nothing! and I ticked the box that says use PPF files!

Any clues? There must be an expert around here somewhere!

I suppose I should post on the actual programs site because they ought to know the answer

There's no need for a patch.

Show the configuration for your bios and video. Gorb or I can cross reference taking that we're the only people on the planet who know how to use this program

Try another game. Oh and by the way "ESC" pauses the game and returns you to normal ePSX emulator (where you can do whatever, except configure, because a game is running) [addsig]

Ok I will post them soon and I tested other games which work perfectly!

Any ideas why?

Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.75

Pete's Dsound Audio Driver 1.15

Internal ePSXe W2K CDR

Internal ePSXe NULL NET

Settings are fine...

Ok by some miracle I managed to finally got the emulator to work for FF9!

Now the only problem I have is that it is hugely SLOW!

I read that running off the CD makes it slow however using ISO is much better!

If this is correct how may I extract this as when I insert the CD, my computer opens up a folder with FF9.IMG inside. Might this be the ISO?

No. Don't you know how to make an image of a cd? That's what an ISO is. I believe you can use winrar to make one, but don't hold me to that.

You should check your FPS settings and make sure they're not too low. Put a cap at about 60 and it should run fine. (If you don't cap it, they'll run upwards of 200 and console games don't have the failsafe computer games have, because they were meant for one and only one machine!) [addsig]

That was my issue, I had to set a manual fps cap, the automatic didn't work. 60 frames makes the game perfect for sound / video sync.

Same here, mine was at 200 ... ran a little fast. However, the audio synced up just fine ... it was just fast too. [addsig]

Thanks a lot...

When I changed it to 30 frames it worked perfect so thanks in advance!

The sound is buggy though :/

It seems I have a new problem everyday!

I use pete's plugins and the sound is buggy e.g. sounds are not the same as actual game on PS1...

The sound sometimes does'nt end e.g. I hear this urrrrrr noise over and over until I pause it and unpause!
