Xenogears freezes in battling

I searched the forum, but it seems like nobody else has reported having this problem. Using ePSXe 1.60, when I'm battling in Kislev near the end of the game with Mode 2 (earn battle points) the game freezes right as I land the finishing blow in the first match. The background sound still continues, though. No problems with Battling Mode 1. There have been no other problems with the game aside from the usual ones (freeze in first dream sequence & when Deus uses that certain attack).

Hmmm...seems like I have no solution on this.
Try using ePSXe 1.5.2.

use OpenGL. it will work a lot better for your card and look a bit better. turn off Odd/Even bit hack, why the hell does everyone want to use that...? have you made an ISO? if you refuse to do that, what is your CD plugin?

OT: Is Xenogears a good game? I might try purchasing one.

Xenogears is supposedly better than FF7, as reported by a *lot* of very fanatical FF7 fans. I've only played if for about an hour, which is a bit silly really cos I had someone bring it back from the States to the UK for me and that was about 5 years ago! :)

I've tried pretty much everything now. I changed graphics plugin to Pete's OpenGL, I tried a different sound plugin, I tried ePSXe version 1.5.2, I tried disabling sound and turning all graphics settings to bare minimums, tried saving the game properly to the memory card, resetting and restoring, and nothing has worked. I guess the only conclusion to be made is that I have a faulty ISO.
