Valkyrie Profile getting stuck

This looks to be PSXeven, so it might an emulator bug. Perhaps ePSXe 1.5.2 , or other GPU plugin works better: Peops soft GPU should work. Also would be god to know about the plugins you're using

hmmm sorry doesn't work either, even with ePSXe 1.5.2 or higher version or the Plug-Ins you recommended.

Is there any way to get some kind of pre-set emulator?

Weird, as I never had that kind of that problem with ePSXe 1.6.0 on that game (both version, Japanese and English).

What did you do before that screen showed up?

well I used ISO-Buster to get the ISO files from my Download, I loaded all the plug-ins, that were recommended here. startet the ePSXe and used the Wizard Guide.

Then I chose run ISO.

The game started , as is well so far.

In the game's first menu screen I choose: New Game --> difficulty : Normal

the the "Retry" symbol appears.

I'd delete the whole registry entries of ePSXe, with regedit. It's documented on the help file

I don't think it had something to do with the registry but the CD or CD image itself failed...... :rolleyes:

Hmmm, BIOS' faulty maybe?

Maybe, imho it's also good to check another BIOS although ePSXe authors talk about an emulation bug more than that. Anyway, SCPH-1001 and SCPH-7502 are the most recommend because have been mainly tested. Since some people is having the same problem looks to me an emulator/plugin problem though (they might got the mame image dump but who knows)

This actually happens to me quite a bit... Most frustrating has been Aelia, Lorenta (or was it Mystina)... and right now I'm getting stuck with Lucian.
Annoying, but I've gotten through.

I think I found the problem. It's save states. I'd been using save states the whole time, and I read that on another forum. So I saved the game on the "memory card", reset, and reloaded the data from the memory card and it worked the first time.

I use Pete's OpenGL Drive 1.76
Eternal SPU Plugin 1.41 with both SPU IRQ's enabled for Valkyrie Profile, and the reverb off - otherwise default settings.
SaPu's CD-Rom Plugin 1.0

That's not a real problem as mine runs fine with that kind of method (save states).

But it could be wiseable that you saved the game in 'Memory Card' as well. (Highly recommended. Who knows when your save states doesn't work at all.) ;)

Then you should know that once you're in the world, the whole screen would be black and you can't see anything. Plus, [pec] is not supporting that emulator.

No no my friend, theres no black screen im telling you, the game run without any problem, in another hand this emulator stuck when argrim is talking about jelanda [after that part where argrim and bradack are on a three.] and he says that he wouldnt mind of kill bradach....if im not mistaken when i played on my playstation that part of the game had some kind of a song...but on this emulator theres nothing and the screen freeze on that part...oh by the way the ``japanese`` cd is the one i have, and it doesnt stuck on the world scene. ;) but if you guys know how to solve this problem on the psxe. :)

Actually I DID try with both versions (English & Japan) using emurayden and still gave me the same result. Unless, that emulator had been updated.
