hi
I patched up my PAL version of ff9 and ran the iso. All worked and everything however, when i get to the part in the game where it asks for the main characters name, it gets buggy.
It asks for me to choose the characters name and then press confirm. However, when i press the X button, it just moves the cursor up and down.

I can't use the X button in game. I checked the joypad settings and the x button was the "x" button on my keyboard but ingame, it doesnt work. What wrong??

Look into the Gamecontroller settings of windows in the control panel if everything's working fine.

 

[AzN6uy]

yes, the controls all work. It worked on every other game such as ff7, 8 etc but not 9

 

[Nezzar]

Try the fixes-it-all-key f4. Just a guess.

 

[AzN6uy]

nope. that doesnt work either

 

[Kellicros]

what about F5? give it a try...

 

[AzN6uy]

nopes. F5 don't work either =/
Does anyone have a save file of when they first begun the game? I just need to get past the choosing name part.

 

[Nezzar]

I'm not sure if this would help you. Maybe it crashes the next time you have to enter a name, too.

 

[AzN6uy]

yeah..i have no idea what the problem is -_- ...
Guess i'll need to forget about playing it then

 

[Nezzar]

Which directx version do you have? Download the latest one if necessary (8.1) here.

 

[AzN6uy]

already got 8.1
It has never happened in any other game. I play ff7, ff8 perfectly fine but in ff9, the controls just stuff up

 

[Tony]

are you using a gamepad? if so, learn to use the keyboard now

 

[Ryos]

Tony: It's the opposite scenario (keyboard, no controller - or at least no mentioned controller). If there are no other possibilities, I'd suggest borrowing a controller from a friend to see if it works. The keyboard can be problematic in some emulators.
