Problem with ff8

1356 Views 15 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  DemonSui
Sometimes (scarcely) when I'm playing ff8 the games freezes, so I can not continue and I must reset epsxe. I'm using epsxe 1.6.0
any suggestions ? :???:

ah yes a laptop. your computer is probably overheating. ePSXe is pretty intensive...and it will probably make your computer overheat and thus freeze.

when you are emulating, make sure your power save functions are off and that you are playing on a well ventilated surface (liek a table..NOT your lap..). better yet, plug it in and leave it on a table.
Considering the laptop's running a Thunderbird, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was overheating :p. Those things put out quite a bit of heat.

no, I'm just not reading things througally. that's no reason to call me a moron...
oh ok. so now we know you aren't retarded, you just don't pay attention. that's good to know.
as a rule, always use ePSXe 1.5.2 for now.
youd almost wonder why one of the moderators hasnt put up a sticky stating that.
it would solve many questions.

why does FF [insert number here] hang or not work at this point?
why doesnt the FMV display correctly?

step 1:
delete ePSXe 1.6.0 (back up whatever you need to transfer over first, specifically memcards, plugins, and save states)
step 2:
download and install ePSXe 1.5.2
step 3:
copy in all your backed plugins, memcards, and savestates

do those 3 steps before asking. i learned my lesson the first time

That's triple posts in a row.
Try using the edit button and delete it...

There already is one. People jus't don't bother to search, much less look right atop this section where it's the first thing they'd see before they post.

yep, no one looks at that thread (even _mr_m_ who suggested there be one :p )

btw, ePSXe 1.6.0 does have its merits, it fixed a lot of games...it just broke some other games too :|
