Spyro 3 Crashing

**Hardware**
ADM 64 x2 Dual Core +4800
Nvidia 610 GT

Emulator
ePSXe 1.70
Petes OpenGL Driver 1.76
Eternal SPU Plugin 1.41

I've not tried other roms for this game, the only download on here is the one I'm using.
I tried PSX 1.13 same problem as ePSXe 1.70

I've been looking for a solution to this problem but nothing I've tried so far has worked, when I try to go to the second level in the game, it just crashes during the load screen.

When I open the game again and load my save, it crashes to the desktop again.

Have you tried restarting your machine yet???

P.S. that game does have copy protection though it should not crash anything and is resolved easy enough with an sbi file

Restarting didn't help, I just got the same crash as before.

I'm using SCPH1001.BIN bios file and I have SCES_015.64.sbi in my patches folder, I think I put it in there for Spyro 2. (Which runs fine with the exception of audio cutting out during cut scenes)

I think SCES_015.64 is for Ape Escape PAL. You need the sbi specific to the game you're trying to use.

I've just tried SCES_028.35.sbi with no change.

You aren't using save states are you?

You aren't using save states are you?

Not sure what that is but I'm using the memory card saves on ePSXe.

Bios should not make any difference at all
For the sbi file, I hope you did not just rename it as that would not work but the outlining issue has nothing to do with the sbi anyway

I checked our copy of the E version on our main site and it is correct vs http://redump.org/disc/492/ Spyro: Year of the Dragon (Europe) v1.0

Did you get any errors while extracting this or running it through unecm as it could be a partial download (i.e. a corrupt download)

The crc should be 5d3785ee [5D3785EE] might be shown as crc32 depending on what you use to check the CRC of the Spyro - Year of the Dragon (E) [SCES-02835].bin file

[runnre]

I did try some sbi files for the game but they made no difference. I tried ppf patches which made no difference either.

I didn't get any errors while using unecm, I tried it again just now and it worked fine.

For the record, I am very new to this so... not sure if I have left out something obvious, I do have ppf auto load enabled.

[Zorlon]

It's not the copy protection that is the issue

The game would still play just you will hit a point that the collectables no longer count making the game impossible to progress and the fairy in-game will tell you, you can't continue

check the crc for the bin file, quicksfv can do that if needs be

I am going to guess the cd image is at fault because you already said two emulators have the same issue

[runnre]

I checked and got:

5D3785EE.

Edit:

Never mind, I downloaded the US version and it seems to be working perfectly fine, thanks for the help guys.
