I know FF8 has given people crashing issues before, but I havent seen my issue anywhere.
Ive tried both .pbp and .bin/.cue format, and they both crash at the same place; disc 2, right after you get out of the prison and pick your team.
At first i thought it was an issue with the rom, but now after having tried both formats (bin/cue first) i think its pretty safe to say that its not the roms.
PS I’m only running scph1001.
Any help would be appreciated!
What emulator are you using? I’ve not run into this issue before.
Ive only ever used the preset core for PSX (Lr-pcsx-rearmed)
I have no experience using that core, but if possible i would suggest switching to beetle-psx. It is far more accurate and i’ve never had any problems with FF8. If you are worried about losing your progress, it is possible to transfer your save between psx emulators. It usually involves just renaming the name of the memory card to match the one used by the new emulator.
Ill 'll have to try that out tonight. Thanks!
despite pcsx able to run without needing a bios file, its still NEEDED for better compatibility (Suikoden 1 is not able to open the memcard after the initial save for e.g.)
