I've been playing FF9 on a patched iso of my friends cd which seems to screw up right at the end of CD3 (after beating the guy in the black cape, forgot his name) so i went and rented a fresh copy but this wont even load, does it need to be patched or something, and if so how. Its and australian version which is pal i believe.

damn, i patched it but my save states arent compatable

does anyone know why it crashes after you beat garland, i just assumed it was my cds/iso cause the cds were scratched, but it might be something else.

There are bugs with saves state in ff9 that can cause it to crash just like that. The solution is to use a proper memory card save vai a moogle then exit, reload and complete that section with out using a single save state. Hopefully should get you past it.

uh, that crash after the fight on the ship is caracteristic from the Kalisto release, so u might wanna try another patch

you were both right, the save state was just screwed so i had to load from a previous save state and go through the battles again. I cant save via moogle it always says save failed but i think thats because i had the ****ed up kalisto release. it would randomly crash for me too.

Oh well its finished now.

megagames.com is a good place for patchs, once you have it you need to use a ppf patcher on an iso of the game.

all can be found, including instructions at the above link.

you could try other patchs, when i used the UK patch on my australian version the patch said it was wrong version, but it still worked. So give it a try, you got nothing to lose.
