Well Its probably not the emulator. Has this happened anywhere else in the game?

no it only happened to the specific part that i mentioned

 

[Jale]

The part where it freezes for me is when I open the doors to go through rooms in Ikana Castle. I usually do a lot of save states (F5) before opening a door in there.

Well Its probably not the emulator.

In fact, it could be. Maybe a core bug.

 

[super mario]

so there is no solution?

 

[Jale]

What ROM region do you have? European (E), American (U), Japanese (J)?

 

[datadayne]

Oh, so it can be the emulator. I never would have thought.

 

[super mario]

I have the (U) region
do you think i should DL a different region ROM?
If yes, then how can i play from the state i stopped?

thanks for helping

I have the (U) region
do you think i should DL a different region ROM?

thanks for helping

Yike! You said DL ?! It is against the rules in here. We are not sure if we are able to help you because you dl a roms!

 

[datadayne]

Im using the (E) version, so far so good.

Yes I said DL! but I didnt say "where can i find it?"
anyway I think i should be more clear and ppl should pay attention to their reading. LoL

anyway so back to the topic, I have the US version of the game but if i download the majoras mask rom European edition. will it work better? did anyone try that? did your game ever freeze?
thanks guys

 

[super mario]

Im using the (E) version, so far so good.

thank you for your reply data, did you get the zoras mask yet? when you shoot those bullets from links hands does the game freeze, or freeze in general game play? thanks in advance

 

[datadayne]

No, im not there yet, but I know what part it is. Im just playing majoras mask again and reviving the fun I had almost 10 years ago. I think you should try the (E) version.

 

[Jale]

I'm using the (E) version too, but I still think it's a core issue.

 

[super mario]

the (E) its a bit slow but now i found (U) region with (!) symbol in it, that means its a good dump. ill give it a try and i send you feedback.
guys thanks again for your help

 

[Jale]

The (E) version is PAL. It goes around 15 or 20 fps.

 

[super mario]

I got it working! i DLed a (U) region with the ! symbol and now its not freezing!

 

[Jale]

Yay!

Wait, which version were you using earlier?

 

[super mario]

Earlier I was using a (U) region, but again I downloaded a (U) region with (!) symbol and it worked.
