Hi there.

I've been playing FFIX with no problems untill disc 3 where the movie that kuja's about to summon bahemoth to attack alexandria is about to start.
All I get is a black screen, no sound, no nothing.

I'm using Pete's opengl 2.9 and ePSXe SPU core 1.7 sound plugin.

Could any one please tell me what's seems to be the problem?

And I'm using ePSXe 1.7

Enable FF fixes under GPU plugin config box.
Also switch to ePSXe v1.5.2.

what are you currently using to play the game, the disc or an image? have you attempted to play through this part on an emulator other than epsxe yet?

are you using save states by any chance? and when you tried using the image, did you mount it on a virtual drive or try using a .ppf patch on it?

Yes, I am using save states, is there a certain problem with it?

I haven't mounted it, I just used it straight from the program.

And I tried the save states of 1.7 on 1.52 and it doesn't seem to work either...

dont use save states, load from a memory card save. save states can cause a wide range of problems and should be one of the first things to look at when troubleshooting.

Thank you jonc.
I tried using the game in ePSXe 1.52 without the savestates and it seems to work fine :)

Sorry for the double post but could you please tell me how come I can use 'disable frame limit' with the 9 button in version 1.52, but in 1.7 I can't.

FF IX disc 4 problem

This is my first post. Right now, I'm playing FF IX and I already reach disc 4. After beating the Maliris, I went to the next room and suddenly, during the middle of the event about why the alexandria miniature on the memoria, the screen went pitch black but the song still keep playing. I already try with many different version of EPSXE (include the newest one, 1.7.0) and all of them have the same result. The screen turn to pitch black at the exact location of the previous one. So, please help me! I almost finish this game!

We aren't using downloaded images are we? It's starting to sound like many people got a hold of the same copy which was a bad rip. If it always freezes in the same spot, and avoiding save state use doesn't fix it, it's probably a bad disc/image, because ePSXe from at least 1.5.2 and on has no game breaking freezes/bugs (not counting the infamous few FMV freezes with 1.6.0).

That's probably the problem. My friend had the same problem and asked me to use my disc (disc, not image). He got past the sequence and using his image again until the end. I was watching by the way.
