Hello there. I've been having trouble with Valkyrie Profile, as the thread title implies, and a buddy of mine referred me to this forum. The problem is thus: I've been running the ISO using PSXeven, and it's worked fine for the most part. I've had a little snag here and there with the game freezing when I'd win a battle, but a quick Load State would usually resolve it no problem. I'd just have to fight the battle again, which isn't a problem for me, since I save my state pretty much every time I turn a corner. But the problem I've been encountering thus far hasn't been that simple. When I complete disk 1, of course, I get a notification to change to disk 2. Okay, no problem. I hit Esc, Force Change Disk, select the Disk 2 ISO. Now, the problem is, when I do this, the game never continues. The PSXeven game screen reappears, and it's solid black. And it stays solid black. No sound, no response from input, nothing. Some fixes I've tried:
1. Get a different ISO and try again. Same result.
2. Get a new emulator (in this case I got ePSXe), load the game from memory card (that wasn't hard, all I had to do was rename the PSXeven memory card file and ePSXe could read it). This produced a different error... The game screen would be mostly black, with a slightly darker, horizontal black bar across the middle of the game screen. A popup appeared as soon as I pressed a key. All I remember about this popup was a bunch of numbers that looked a lot like hexadecimal, followed by the emulator closing out and my whole computer lagging horribly until I got fed up and restarted it.
3. Give up and try again the next day (that being today). For results, refer to 1 and 2.
I'd hate to get halfway through this game and not be able to finish. It's a great game. Does anyone know anything else I can try to do about this?
The plugins I've been using:
Graphics: Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.77
Sound: Eternal SPU Plugin 1.50 (I have enabled the Special Game fixes under this plugin's Configure menu)
Controller: N-Rage Plugin 0.95
I'd like to post my machine's specs, but all I know off the top of my head is that I have 1024 MB of RAM, an 80 GB hard drive, and a Pentium 4 processor. I dunno where to find out the rest of the specs though... Thanks in advance.
