Someone told me that problems arise later on in the game.. At which point the .cht file will be needed.. I am also only at the beginning of the game..
Breath of Fire IV...Why?
Hey everyone, contrary to what you may be thinking i'm having no problems running BoF IV, and that's where the problem lies. I've seen 2 seperate options for BoF IV to get it to work(???) yet I have no pronlem running the game with these options turned off.
Option #1
Under Pete's CDR ASPI Driver 1.6 there exits an option called 'Disable cd-rom status' with BoF IV in () next to it. What is the purpose of this feature? How does it help BoF in any way?
Option #2
breath_of_fire_4_usa.cht
Again, what is the purpose of this file (I know how to apply it and what it's used for [aka not a game cheat but to get the game to work]?
My game works just fine without either, however I'm not very far in the game, is there some later point in time (no story spoilers please) where the game will crash without these functions
More info:
GPU: Pete's Soft Driver 1.52
SPU: Pete's DSound Audio Driver 1.10
CPU (?): Pete's CDR ASPI Driver 1.6 (and yes Pete you are God)
Computer Specs:

128MB SDRAM
32MB NVIDIA TNT M64 4xAGP
Win ME
All help greatly appreciated....
*Off Topic*
Why do intro cutscenes experiance (ex BoF IV and Vagrant Story) such major slowdowns in FPS? VGS also has this problem but the slowdown is a tab bit less...
BTW, BoF IV looks almost as good in epsxe as it does in vgs...

May I ask what plugins you are using, your specs, and the configuration of those plugins? I'd like to compare with mine, post yours and I'll post everything of what I use.
Ok but I have a voodoo 5 5500 agp.. The configurations should be almost the same though.. Pete and lewpy just use different names for similar functions in their pluggins..

You must carefully apply the cheat before entering Kyria
I say carefully because if you don't do it at the right time all your battles will never end (that's a real bummer).
Unfortuantely I've yet to get the SAVE option to work so I'm using save states.
When you get to Mount Glum and the forger guy there you have to use the cheat too.

In order for you to play BOF4 flawess you need to follow these procedures.
1. Locate the patch which comes along with epsxe for BOF4 which can be located in your epsxe cheats folder. Now you need to load the patch from epsxe GUI which cheats and then you have to load it . Now when you will load the cheat you will come across 2 minor problems which are
1. epsxe for some reason keeps on unloading the patch from time to time and and so you have to check up on it just to make sure that its loaded
2. During your ingame battles you will experince that your computer is playing the background music and the characters tend to show some motion but they do not respond to anything. You will have a feeling thats its stuck well its not. You will have to press F1 which is the save state key and then F3 which is the state load key. When you do so everytyhing will be back to normal but when you perform the following procedure your patch will unload and so you have to press the ESC key and then laod it again and get back to your game by pressing continue. ....
Just a precaution whenver your about to leave or enter any town it is better of to see that whether your cheat or patch is still loaded or not. . take care and have fun playing it. its a great game
