Final Fantasy 8 problem

[1stdead]

I have been able to play Final Fantasy 8 first time i put the cd into the dvddrive... But i want to use Alchol 120% so i dont have to play with cd... But it doesnt work anyway.. And either with the original cd...?

I can see i read in the start from the disc, but nothing happens.. And there is just a black box... I use ePSXe..


My computer:
3 Ghz P4HT
512DDr
80 Gigabyte harddisk
Dvd and Cd burner drive...

And it was also a laggy game the first time, it lags when a movie was showed.. That happend also with Final Fantasy 7...

so are you trying to play with a copied cd, or did you make an .iso image file. if its a copied cd you are using then the problem is that final fantasy 8 has copyright protection written into the sub-channels of the cd. there are ways around it though.
what you need to do is to make an iso file from the original cd . apply a .ppf patch to the .iso that will remove the protection and then re-burn the .iso.

My original FF8 works great on ePSXe.
Try using the 1.5.2 version of the emulator or messing with the grafics plugins.

petes opengl 1.75 plugin works best with ff8 in my experience.
