    Default FF7 Stuck?

    Well I downloaded a ISO and got it to work and the game just "stops" in Disk 2.

    I am using: Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.8 along with 1001 (bios) and ePSXe (emulator)!


    This is exactly where I get stuck, just doesn't continue. Thanks for your help ahead of time!





    So does ANYONE know anything what will or might help me fix this. I put in a lot of hours on my busy schedule to play this, please help me guys..

    If you're using 1.6.0, try downgrading to 1.5.2.

    I downgraded and put the new stuff, I put my old loads in the new game files and it still doesn't run through the same spot as before. Any suggestions?

    It blinks where the video should be (Junion cannon shooting at Weapon), but nothing loads after that.

    Check to see if there are errors in the ISO that might be causing it to freeze:

    SwqNin, thanks for the help but didn't work. It doesn't really freeze, just doesn't have anything to "continue" with.

    Would anyone maybe take my save and get it past the point and save than give me it back. If someone would help me with this I would truly appreciate it, and my 50 hours not wasted

    Thanks,

    Get pSXFin and load your save up on that and continue.

    i don't know why you're having this problem. I played through fine on 1.6.0 with the setting you have. make a savestate before it happens and find someone who has FF7. ask them if it works.

    I know that's what I am asking, if anyone here has the game and wouldn't mind using 2 minutes (literally) to help me.

    If you get an error about a missing dll file then you need to upgrade to a newer revision of DirectX 9c. There really is nothing much you need to configure to run it. Just set your controls and load your memcard files and you're ready to play.

    You may of just needed to update DirectX to sart with to get your game working in ePSXe 1.6.0 and 1.5.2, generally there are less settings that need tweeking in 1.5.2 for Square games

    I'll close this anyway as requested
