Suikoden Opcode error help?

I am running epsxe 1.9.0 on a Gateway NE56R31u laptop with Windows 8, and upon return to the kobold village just before entering into the games' first strategic-type battle I get this error-- Opcode 3e UNK (PC 00022ca4) (15428,12). Any help on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Ps I have tried multiple graphics plugins which are~ Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.77, P.E.Op.S. OpenGL Driver 1.78, Pete's D3D Driver 1.77, and Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.77 and am using SCPH1001.bin bios file if that helps.

Upload your memcard save (not a save state as that is pointless, save states also save emulator settings also so loading in a save state after changing settings only reverts the changes) and I can test with a good disc image

Also give directions to get to the crashy point

P.S. P.E.Op.S. Soft driver is the best one for 2D games like Suikoden, for visual improvements look at HQ2x (stretched) or HQ3x (stretched) and use multiples of 320x240 e.g. 640x480, 960x720, 1280x960, ect ect... (those are all 4:3 display modes)
