make sure you have the right bios, what bios are you using?

 

[Jacko]

I use scph7502.bin

well

says that it must be patched or you get a black screen, and thats a complicated thing to try and explain, head over to www.megagames.com they prolly have the patch you need.

I have pached it for two hours but it still didn't work.
Why I have to pach it when it is the origanal game and not a copy?

On www.psxfanatics.com is written that FF8 is playable and needn't
to patch .Why I can't play it altough ihave the origanal game.

Ok the US versions do not need patches. The German ones do. Basically there are two methods to do this. Both require you to obtain the German pal patch for FF8 and FF9. You can obtain a patch for the FF9 at
www.aldostools.com/ff9.html . As for the FF8 one I can't tell you where that is 'cos it has warez on it so we can't mention its name (Ahem Ryoga ).

Once you have obtained them either:

1. use petes cd plugin. In the configuration there is an option called use ppf patch file. Enter the name of the patch file here (make sure its the correct one for the disk!)

2. Create an iso using eg cdrwin
or isobuster and then patch them according to the instructions on aldos page linked to above.
