hey folks,
i've got a problem playing final fantasy VIII for playstation with epsxe and psx 1.13 emulator. the problem is the following:
i have finished cd1 - the fight versus cifer and edea - and saved my game ( on three different slots at the virtual memory card ( slot 1, 5 and 9 ). after saving, the game tells me to change to disc 2, but when i do so, a screen occurs that sais that i have inserted the wrong disc ( 'das ist die falsche cd' - 'this is the wrong disc' is what the screen tells me ).
i own and use the original game ( i can post screenshots if you wish ). to get the game started, i had to make an iso-file of cd1 and 'patch' it with some file i found on the internet. there was no other way to get the game started. i tried to continue my game with the original playstation disc 2, but that got me the error. so i made an iso of the cd2 and tried to use epsxe/psx1.13 function 'run iso' - both did not work. i also tried to continue my game with the iso of cd2 mounted by daemon tools, reconfiguring epsxe/psx1.13 'cd-rom-letter' - but the ingame screen always tells me that i have the wrong disc inserted. i tried all 3 savegames with the different types of 'cd2's'.
because i am a german i use the german version of final fantasy VIII ^^ thats also why my english might seem strange to you (=
final fantasy VII run without any problems with epsxe ( also original german version ).
of course i searched the internet, but most of the related threads are for the pc version of the game and some kind of copy protection fix ( noCD... ) or changing something int the windows registry. but that doesnt help me with the playstation version of the game. one guy had the same problem as i have, but found out that memory card slot 1 of the epsxe memcard is buggy ( unfortunately is saved the game on slot 1 at the first time, but after beating edea again and saving at slot 5 an d 9 didnt worked ).
if you need any more information, please let me know. i will provide information as good as i can. i am using windows 7 ultimate professional ( you might guess it - its an original version ^^ ).
greetings Conrad
