when the opening cutscene gets to the part where seifer uses fire, the game just freezes and wont continue. i'm using epsxe 1.5.2 as i just get a black screen with 1.6 and 1.7 but when i transfer a savestate the cutscene crashes in them as well.

i'm using Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.9 with these settings

are you playing off the disc or from an image of it?

an image

 

[YugiFann]

try using a smaller version of open GL Plugin or use DX9 Plugin

 

[jonc2006]

a freeze like this is not likely to be related to settings or plugin choice, it sounds more like a bad image.

rcspitire, best thing to try would to be either play off the disc itself or re-ripping the image.

edit- if you need it, the following link contains tutorials on how to make one.
